Collins will be hurting us, especially if the plan was to keep Kirk in his limited weekly catching duties. He shouldn't hit vs lefties and he isnt good defensively, maybe even as a pitch caller. Basically Moreno is needed more than it is gambling/showcasing imo
If he is ready probably a good time to give him a shot. They probably feel Kirk is at a good balance between catching and DH and don't want to mess with it. Collins isn't a good defensive catcher, so Moreno makes sense in that regard as well imo
But in seriousness, Vlad had 2 good ABs. Should have had a HR if not for the ball park/wind. Needs to be a little more selective and get more pitches over the plate if possible
Weird day for Orelvis. Pop up, K, 2 out 0 on bunt attempt out at 1b, single on ground ball to RF. 2nd game Pop out and flyout to CF. Then taken out 1 inning later
