South Side Hit Men Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Just now, fathom said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautox Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 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. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

2Deep Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Donaldson, Polanco, kepler........2 guys are LH/SH.......I get the Donaldson factor but you have to bring in Bummer in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Would have preferred to just bring in Hendriks to face Donaldson in the 8th, and then if he has an easy inning let him go 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
