    Can Kimbrel hold it, and will Abreu pitch the 9th with only 1 day off?

    Pitch was inside Diaz. Give Salazar a start tomorrow.

    There hasn't been a day off. He's pitched the last two games because Joe used him with a 4 run lead on Wed

    If he was at a swingers party, he'd still go after balls.

    No you're not wrong.

    So I think we can all agree out of 30 starting catchers in the league, Diaz is roughly 25th defensively/ calling games/ framing pitches?

    So what do we do with a terrible catcher hovering just above a 90 OPS+?

    This can't continue next season.

    Well he's tanked his value so pretty much have to run it back and hope he rebounds offensively next season

    Yainer…

    1396 career at bats
    55 walks.

    No plate discipline.

    Will this be the first game the absence of Hader finally rears it's ugly head?

    And this is the main reason why I think we are 2 and out again come playoff time.
