Lind starts that double play and dusty is out of that inning ok . Still he is better in the BP but with Happless in the rotation we will need Stroman in that spot.
I believe Navarro has the talent which is why I hate him so much. At best he can catch maybe 81 games because he isn't in shape. Too fat and lazy to be a #1 guy . Like his bat but behind the plate he is terrible so yah he is just a backup with a decent bench bat.
I was listening to the game on XM and wondered the same thing . Francisco had hit in the 6th so his spot was due till the 9th. Protect the lead , get Francisco out of there and then Lawrie makes the error. Gibby screwed up for sure but we got out with a win.
Hope he learns from that
When we have 3 catchers on the roster why do we have the worst defensive catcher in the league behind the plate playing hurt??? The guy can't frame and all he calls at times is fastballs so he doesn't have to block anything or move anywhere .
How many runs does he cost us before Gibbons realizes Tampa and LA were right! Fat and lazy.
I suspect Stroman is capped around 150 innings IMO. has anyone heard the #.
That would put him starting games in June. Frustrating i know but that seems to me the reason. Happ will get a long, long , leash.
