If they go with Soto who gets let off Hank or Kendall?

 

Hank, i'd assume.

 

I might lean towards Kendall getting the axe. Runs are a premium in the post season and having Kendall behind the pate is just begging the other team to put runners in scorig posiion all day long.

I honestly doubt it. Hank hasnt worked much with the pitching staff this year due to injury and Soto hasn't yet worked much with them because he's new. I'd assume Lou would value the comfort level (regardless of how much that may or may not really matter) the pitchers have with Kendall to this point.

So, is soto even a possibility for the postseason roster? I forget if he was up in the bigs by the deadline or not

 

He is - someone posted the technicalities behind it somewhere on the board

 

awesome.

Yeah awesome, you really think Lou will take him over a veteran backup catcher?

Why wouldn't he? He's been going with Soto over Blanco for awhile now, why would he change that if Soto keeps hitting?

Why would we go with Tracshel over Marshall when Marshall has had a very good season?

What does that have to do with anything?

Oh I don't know, Lou will go with a veteran over a rookie if given the chance.

Then why isn't Blanco in their right now, and why didn't he start yesterday?

The same reason Cedeno is in there. You think Rony is gonna make the roster?

This is stupid. Blanco hasn't played in two weeks. You honestly think that Lou is going to take him over Soto?

Yes, I think he will. Len and Bob have already laid the groundwork for it. Last night they talked about how hard it would be to leave a veteran back up like Blanco off the roster, because of all of his experience.

Lou isn't an idiot. If he thought Blanco would help the team more than Soto in the playoffs, then he'd have to think that he'd help the team more than Soto right now. And he clearly doesn't think that, otherwise Hank would have left the bench in the last two weeks. Seriously, it's been TWO WEEKS since Hank has even been in a game.

The last time Blanco started a game was September 3rd (and that's also the last time he's played period). Soto has started 4 times since then. If they are going to put Blanco on the playoff roster, why give him absolutely no PT in September? That isn't going to help him get ready for the playoffs.

 

Every indication is that it will be Soto as the backup come playoff time unless Blanco starts getting the PT and soon.

I disagree that marquis is "losing it"

 

Both of those hits were ground balls, which is what he's been doing all day, they just found holes.
