Yesterday's Mets/Marlins game had Dan Uggla as a pitch hitter in the 9th. The first pitch to him was a wild pitch, allowing Ross to score the winning run from third.
Is Uggla given a PA for watching that ball go by him? Does his appearance at a hitter count as a game played for fantasy sports purposes? |

I think that once he is announced in the game, it counts as a game played. The fact that one pitch was thrown is not even necessary. The run could have scored on a balk. Or he could have been immediately replaced by another pinch hitter (possibly due to a change in pitcher) before the first pitch was thrown. Still a GP.

Under MLB rules, it is not counted as a plate appearance. Rule 6.04 A batter has legally completed his time at bat when he is put out or becomes a runner

That's why I always bench non-starters, especially NL non-starters.

I benched him too, but some leagues (like CBS) have all games locked at the first pitch of the first day's games, which really sucks!
