Stinky Stanky

If you believe Stone is giving hints about management's thinking on RR, then you must also believe that he's doing the same thing when he pumps up McCann at the expense of the Big New Acquisition. And that can'r be their thinking when they owe the guy a fortune. 'Splain that away.

He did throw some wicked cutters tonite. We've been so good he's hasn't gotten the work closers need to stay sharp. He definitely manned up when the score was tied and kept it winnable.

McCann will tell us what he will do with us, not the other way around as you all are seeing it. And that's go to another team where he's the man, whether we like it or not. He's an All-Star catcher, remember? Just my $.02.

I thought he got even better with the Cubs until it fell apart. With us, he would get two strikes and start pecking away at the corners and run up his pitch count for lack of a putaway pitch. With the Cubs that wicked slider became a putaway pitch. Gotta like what we got for him!

Should want and deserves an "office" of his own. An All-Star catcher for goodness sake! I wish him the best is often said insincerely, but not this time.

Helps when the strike zone is from batter's box to batter's box. OK, it's an exaggeration, but you know what I mean. Whatever it takes and Aces get calls and deserve to.

When's the last time he had work? Closers need work. He can rest Monday if need be. Don't let your agenda get the better of you.
