Enough of this Mather crap. Where the heck is Jackson?

[CincyCubsFan]

Good to see dale is getting Mather some more top-of-the-order at bats. Positively dustyesque.

The Mather thing is baffling. As rough as it's been with Jackson he's still a LOT better than Mather, so that basically tells you everything you need to know about how bad Mather's been.

 

Holy [expletive], Mather has a -2.2 WAR according to BR this season.
