Our two highest ranked catchers appear to be travelling in opposite directions. Severing is looking really good. Reetz not so much. For two years in a row. I realize he is young … But still.
Reetz may need position change ??
Gil
Thoughts drift to Greg Colbrunn
I am going to say that considering
All the road trips and bad weather ( quack quack!)
This Clint Eastwood Lee Van Cleef Eli Wallach
Good bad Ugly list should be breezed over
And set on warmer may then June .
Is Taylor Jordan still on the DL? Anyone know the cause?
I thought Kieboom > Reetz? Not that he is doing any better than Reetz right now. Although his brother might be a good get in the draft
Anything on Robles being pinch hit for on Friday, and not playing on Saturday?
You mean it wasn’t to make sure Cody “You know my Dad is THE Bucky” Dent got to make four more outs?
