...but if the Twins are going to make a mockery of the game by putting in a position player, don't whine when someone else mocks that move by taking him deep. If the Twins don't like being "shown up" with the HR, don't put a position player on the mound to throw softball tosses to the hitters.

How should the hitters feel if the position player tries to get them out? Why is it one-sided? (I get the 3-0 count argument, but one might argue that swinging 3-0 is a quicker way to end the game than taking the walk.)
