Mirabelli vs Kapler: Pitchoff

[DirtDog]

They just said on WEEI that Tito said Mirabelli and Kapler would have had a pitchoff in the bullpen to pitch for the bottom of the 20th inning if the game had gone that far. Who would have won? Who do you think we would have seen in the 20th? lol

[Papelbon58]

If he actually did that, I think Mirabelli would be better because he is a catcher and understands the skill of pitching

[BoSox34]

Kapler has a stronger arm.

Either would have blown the game, so it doesn't really matter...

I'd throw both of them out there before Seanez.

Why not Loretta? He has a scoreless inning of relief to his name.

[schillingouttheks]

Can't Cora pitch as well?

 

And can the manager choose to use his pitcher as the DH in an AL game?

You are correct. From 6-20-2001

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Why not a dance off?

Mirabelli is said to have a knuckleball almost as good as Wake's.

[Cocos Disciples]

Why wouldn't we use Johnson? I know, I know, he sucks, but at least he's a pitcher.

It’s been reported he wasn’t available.

[Cocos Disciples]

Ah. Dave McCarty woulda done the job!

But then who would catch him?

[ORS]

But then who would catch him?

Wake, of course. Wouldn't that be something? You could leave them both in the game and switch pitcher from batter to batter.

[Papelbon58]

now that would be a show

Cora and Loretta both have some experience pitching so i would think it would have been on them 2. Mirabelli would be hilarious to watch though.

They would use Mirabelli or Kapler b/c they were both on the bench the whole game and rested, Loretta had played the whole game (7 Ab) and Cora played about half the game (4 Ab).
