They can't hit.

1 hour ago1 hr People watch Romo bat .100 with no power or walks for months and suddenly you're not happy with a guy who is a little below average at the plate

1 hour ago1 hr Just now, Jake said:People watch Romo bat .100 with no power or walks for months and suddenly you're not happy with a guy who is a little below average at the plateRight. You don’t have to be thrilled about this but it’s an upgrade, period.
1 hour ago1 hr Just now, Jake said:People watch Romo bat .100 with no power or walks for months and suddenly you're not happy with a guy who is a little below average at the plateA kick in the ankle is much better than a kick in the balls. Thank you.
1 hour ago1 hr Just now, wegner said:Maybe you should beDefinitely not. Doesn't move the needle either way.
1 hour ago1 hr I don’t get the hate…sure I’d prefer Stephenson, but this is a big improvement over Romo. Who the f*** cares about batting average when the guy has an 88 wRC+ (and above 100 the last two years) vs. Romo’s 40. His defensive metrics are also up vs. prior seasons. SSS all around but this isn’t horrible.
1 hour ago1 hr Also I would bet money it is Quero being sent down unless he already has two send downs and would be DFAd, and even then maybe.

What’s the issue?Way undervalued is a catcher's familiarity with his pitching staff especially calling games. That doesn't happen overnight. Hopefully not too much disruption from the ride the pitchers are on right now.

I had to do a triple take when I was looking at Bart’s stats because I kept assuming I was looking at the wrong guy given all the negative views here.
1 hour ago1 hr We gave up Duncan fucking Davitt who most people here didn't even know he existed prior to the callup. Literally nothing and improved the catching position.. I get you wanna b**** to b**** but at least make it make sense.

If I was in charge, I'd DFA Romo to make the space for Bart. But alas, I'm not even a little bit in charge

I get you wanna b**** to b**** but at least make it make sense.Yup, I’ve been a whiny b**** about a couple of these moves, but hard to complain about this one outside of wishing for someone more impactful.

SSS all around but this isn’t horrible.It’s more that was the main spot they could really try to improve the lineup. Let’s face it, anyone is better than Quero and Romo. I was hoping for Stephenson, as he is hitting so well these days.
1 hour ago1 hr Thought it would be for Wolkow or Zavala...nothing burger, improving at the margin though(Davitt flying around a lot recently)
1 hour ago1 hr 2 minutes ago, Jake said:AFAIK, either player can still be sent down. If I was in charge, I'd DFA Romo to make the space for Bart. But alas, I'm not even a little bit in chargeQuero is starting to hit a little bit now and is clutch. Getting his development back on track is way more important than keeping a scrub like Romo.

1 hour ago1 hr 1 minute ago, joejoesox said:quero will be sent down, not romoI agree and I still wont understand it.
1 hour ago1 hr I’d be very, very surprised if they send Edgar back down. It’s one thing when Kyle was going to be the every day guy but that’s not the case here and there’s at least some semblance of Quero getting his s%*# together. And Romo sucks.
