How often do catchers leave with injury?  

Well, most managers don't test that premise. 

Collins is fine hitting when he catches, but he shouldn't be used as DH because Tony is obsessed with bloody platoon splits to start the game. It's absurd, but then again so is a lot of other things he does.

cant wait for more TLR apologists to post but a source within the club house says everyone loves drunk uncle Tony; even if that is the case make him the bench coach. Nothing has changed hes still a dog shit in game manager and the game has passed him by.

The way they have been using Crochet is unacceptable. Why do they have him up if they aren’t going to use him in situations like this. 

Bummer should be ahead of Crochet in the pecking order.

Burr belongs in the 8th about as much as Evan Marshall.

I guess you haven't been watching Crochet pitch.  He has close to a 1.5 WHIP.

Cleveland is gonna do us another favor tonight. 

Yep, despite how blah we’re playing other than the last two pitching performances against Houston, an 8 1/2 game lead is the high water mark for the year.

CLE really struggles on the road, and their starting pitching issues are beginning to become more pronounced.

Crochet should be in the minors working on his slider and changeup, and learning how to field his position. He doesn't have enough movement to fool hitters with just his fastball, and one or two innings a week are stunting any development.

This game was lost because of the injuries to the position players and TLR trying to get cute with Collins at DH. Get healthy.

and putting in arguably the 6th best reliever in the pen into a one run game in the 8th.
