double switch?

[dustcover]

In last night's game, tied up at 4, with 2 outs in the 10th, Leon gets a bloop hit. Mookie up to bat. Boone intentionally walks Mookie. Cora sends in Renda to pinch run for Leon at 2nd. At which time, one of the commentators questions whether Boone might intentionally walk Benintendi thus loading the bases, in order to get to JBJ who earlier went in to pinch run for Pearce the DH.

 

If Boone had walked Benintendi, could Cora then have pulled a double switch by sending Swihart up to pinch hit for JBJ and if the move failed to produce the winning run, could Swihart remain in as the catcher replacing Leon, and Renda remaining in as the DH?

if you put your DH into the field you lose the DH. in your scenario the only way Renda can stay in the game is if he moved to pitcher.

Not to mention, Swihart is on the disabled list. I’d rather have Bradley batting over Dan Butler...
