Seems like Bailey's day will soon be Ober

hey, I was going to say that.

maybe he too tall (6'9")

Ober for sure now.
3-run BOMB for Pages

I seem to recall, mentioning earlier in the thread something about us, not missing Herrara in the lineup after all. I’m doubling down on that. However, perhaps I should say, I’m homering down on that.

I already said that I think that he should DH, but I just don’t have a problem with him not catching today. If he catches two out of every three games, that puts him at 109 games started at catcher. Only 7 other catchers in baseball started more games at catcher than that. This isn’t a Yadi situation. Catchers are splitting time more and more. Pages is going to get his starts and that’s just the way the game is played today. And while I think Herrera is better defensively than he gets credit for, he’s not the catcher that you have to have behind the plate every game.

But, yes, he should absolutely be DHing today. The guy just hits, and not just for a catcher.

I'd like to amend this statement. It was a great idea to start Burleson and Pages. That's what I meant to say all along.

sorry to say Winn looks clueless up there

Today’s post game OP:
Please don’t sit Pages for Herrera when he’s HOT!!

[rockondlouie]

How much are we liking Buster Brown?

[blackinkbiz]

Not to be a downer but I'm officially getting worried about Winn. I'm sure they keep telling him "Just trust the process," but the process is looking fugly at the moment.
