Dom rests against the LHP but I’d imagine we see him for the 12pm game tomorrow against Harvey.
SRF has been good this year.
I benched Dom on my fantasy team this morning. Knew he wouldn’t be playing against a tough lefty the way he’s been going. Good opportunity to get some D in the lineup in what should be a low scoring game.
Its like a slow death waiting for these guys to get back.
WAY too much.
lol. I’m hoping that’s it’s not a pulled hammy. That’d take him out a month or more.

That's what it looked like. We'll know more tomorrow.
There are four backups in the lineup, so that certainly doesn’t help.

Is just so bad again tonight. Jeeze

Fair point. But still, another game of no offense with capable backups. It’s getting a bit tiring.

No disagreement from me
It’s not a killer deal and I expect him to play better at some point. Just not a lot of options out there for the catching position.
That was our inning. Alonso has to be better than that. Just a game killer.

Nido is better than McCann. That is a ghost deal if I ever saw one.

The money is enough have to play him every day for the next 3 or 4 years. We could get the same production for a fraction of the cost. He hasn't even played well defensively. He can't play any worse than he already has so it if it doesn't get better it does become a killer deal.

So, you aren’t expecting McCann to improve? Saying that Nido is a better catcher is just a silly comment. I’ll chalk it up to frustration but in no world is Nido a better player. Nido is a horrific offensive player. I’m sure that McCann will turn things around.

I'm not expecting him to improve much. He has had 1 good year and 2 months. He was horrific in that AB just now. Nido has been better this year. Throw in the contract we gave him and it's a ghost deal like I mentioned. Hope he proves me wrong.
Glad I stayed with it all the way. Entertaining game.
