If you want to do the weekends the rest of the year, that's great. Sundays are a no go for me anyways.
Tomorrow is an 11:10 start. Since most posters will be at services or nursing hangovers I'll try if available. Being in the Eastern Time zone helps.
Contreras or Herrera not catching has set back the offense. Pages and Pozo have been seviceable. Burt it's time to see what Crooks brings. My guess is, Bernal is heading for AAA next season. Grooming him to be the starting catcher in' 27.Ronnie Dobbs wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 16:54 pm Pedro Pages.........seems like a good guy. Good story, hard worker, etc. I like Pedro Pages.
But come on. It's not like his amazing catching abilities have transformed a bunch of scrubs into serviceable pitchers. They suck no matter who catches them. Would it kill them to start Crooks? He's caught McGreevy all year. So they're facing a lefty? Who cares? Give fans some kind of story to follow.
What, is he going to catch like one game and get sent back down?
It is time for Crooks to start. Why he isn't starting is beyond me. Eh it isn't. Oli is fighting for his job. The FO should step in.Shady wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 17:00 pmContreras or Herrera not catching has set back the offense. Pages and Pozo have been seviceable. Burt it's time to see what Crooks brings.
