Then why DH him in the first place?  I'd rather see Pedro DHing, than Rasmus.

Rasmus is the better base runner and should be the better hitter v RHP.

Agree with this. Rasmus isnt needed on this roster especially as a DH. unless they really value his LH bat. I dont see what he brings.

In a shocking turn of events Rasmus to the 10 day DL with a hip issue.

I don't get Buck's penchant for playing hurt guys instead of putting them on the DL.  I also don't get how Rasmus made the team if he wasn't health.

That's a good question.

Does he play another game this year...or ever?

Would he be on the DL if Buck didn’t need a reliever today?   I doubt it.    It may not be much of an injury, if any.

Rasmus could have cost us the game last night with all the scoring opportunities he squandered. I am glad he is on the DL now because he looks absolutely terrible.

I've been saying his bat seems too heavy, as silly as that sounds. But maybe hip injury explains it if it is real.

After last night it should be abundantly clear that Buck should be fired. Pedro DFA'd, Davis benched, and Rasmus in RF.

Every player except Manny and Bundy should be DFA'd....

If you DFA Manny, you could play one of the guys from minors!
