Blanco for Santana, Thole for Dickey, Barajas for the other 3.

....what

really?

Pointless

We have no backup 3B for David to even get a breather. But we have three catches and have the worst of the three playing three times as much. There is something wrong with this picture.

I support Jenrry Mejia as a starter. Screw you Jerry Manuel for thinking he's a set-up man.

Cora

He’s the backup 3B.

Which makes things worse.

You would think someone in higher management would have an epiphany at some point

Like hmm….. perhaps, perhaps IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE TO CARRY THREE CATCHERS WHEN YOU HAVE NO BACKUP IF.

You think they would. I guess not though.

Might as well give every pitcher a personal catcher.

Right?

I think Jerry is trying to pioneer the 5-man catching rotation. Omir Santos will be called up tomorrow.

All of a sudden, the Barret acquisition is starting to become clear...

This is so wrong, but I find myself rooting for Barajas to get injured

because that’s what it will take for that fuckhead to stop playing him. If Barajas were hitting .050, Jerry would still find an excuse to play him.

Sure, because

you want your worst hitter of 3 to play more “to get him going”.

One day, this team is going to kill me.

I think Manuel could possibly manage the Yankees into 4th place….

That was my first thought. I mean assuming you have to have 3 catchers, and assuming you have no RH PH options because Francoeur and Cora suck, you need Thole’s bat off the bench, so he’s basically a PH who happens to have a experience with knuckleballers, and …

Oh no.

Make it stop.
