The only thing I find interesting about this line-up is Delay catching. Are the Pirates preparing to move on from Perez?

With such limited benches, teams really can't (or shouldn't) carry 3 catchers who struggle to hit even .200.

The last time they played a d/h, VanMeter ended up catching. I'm sure they'll move a catcher by tomorrow. The question is whether it will be Delay or Perez leaving.

Meanwhile, back @ the ranch, Jacob Stallings hits .201 with a HR.

Not today. For the season.

That's almost as bad as his dad did here.

So, there is that.

.201?! Heck, we should bring him back as a hitting coach for our catchers.

Gotta agree with Matt Capps. Runners on first and second no outs

with Chang up. Bunt the damn ball instead of hitting into

a DP

Chang is worthless. His presence on the roster remains a mystery. I understand taking a flier on the guy. But it's been obvious from the start why Cleveland was getting rid of him. Every position player on the AAA, AA and probably A rosters deserves a roster spot before Chang does. But instead of cutting their losses and moving on from Chang, they just keep playing him. First it was VanMeter and now it's Yu Suhk.

Back to back throwing errors by Castillo.

Apparently, Molina is now the umpiring crew chief.

That balk or non balk call- never seen anything like it and probably never will. Ridiculous!
