And W T F is Oli doing putting I. Herrera back behind the plate w/a gimpy knee? ::crazya::

He's NOT A CATCHER you MORON............be a Manager and tell him so!

TLR would...........Whitey would.........Torre would
I know it’s only ST and I know Herrera wants to catch.
But I’m not seeing it as many others do also.
A ton of catchers in the system.
His bat is critical.
History of leg injuries.
SMH....fingers crossed.

I believe that the battery of Liberatore and Herrera clicks for Libby. Kinda like when Waino pitched near the end of his career , the Cardinals would make sure Molina called his game . With Libby being opening day starter , it seems likely that Herrera would be behind the plate for that game. Then Pages probably catches the next game with Ivan going to DH .

Libby seems to be clicking w/all the catchers this spring, not sure Herrera has been the key rfd.

But Oli/Bloom want to give Herrera his shot so you'll likely be right about OD.

Only after base stealers are 25/25 or he starts missing games w/a bad knee.will they all come to the conclusion that Ivan isn't a catcher.

AND JUST LIKE THAT ON CUE

HR HERRERA!!!!!!!

Herrera bat has to be in the lineup. Keep him injury free. Catcher is ruff on the body. Knees and hands
