Padres Manager’s Mistake Costs Pitcher | San Diego Padres News

San Diego Padres manager Craig Stammen had a brain fart during a game against the Nationals—forgetting the pitching coach had already visited Walker Buehler that inning. Under MLB rules, a pitcher can’t be visited twice in one inning, so Buehler had to come out even after Stammen changed his mind. Buehler, who’d thrown 60 pitches in just over two innings, was replaced by Kyle Hart, who pitched two scoreless innings and helped the Padres win 9-2. Despite the weird mishap, the Padres remain in the final Wild Card spot with a 78-68 record, but they’re being chased by the Diamondbacks—and face a crucial series against the Giants this weekend.
