Hallelujah!  And I was an advocate of him being in the rotation. 

They gave him starting opportunities , until they decided to move him

Hays, Cowser, Mateo, McCann is just brutal.

We are probably the only everyday lineup in MLB that is 6/7 deep regularly. Those four that you mentioned are just about commiserate with the current state of affairs for an average MLB lineup at the bottom.

Hays has actually been very solid at the plate since returning from his calf injury, slashing .309/.360/.519 over the last 30 games.  But the other three, yeah, they have been really bad.

Cowser's had an .811 OPS since June 16.

Yep, he’s hit 4 homers in his last 45 ABs, and he is definitely several notches above Mateo and McCann, but he’s still struggling a bit.  With that said, he’s had some nice at bats recently, taking some tough pitches to draw walks.  Could be time for another heater from the milkman.

That doesn’t make me feel better.

I feel like we have 13 guys that would start on alot of rosters. We also have a few at AAA that could start in the majors.

Does James McCann being on a 3 game hitting streak make you feel better. 

[Malike]

McCann is on a heater!

2 days in a row Adley isn't catching. Yesterday it made sense but he also sat. Guessing he's a little dinged up mid season. Happy the all-star break is around the corner. He's playing but what does it end up being? Like 3 or 4 innings?

Saturday is a day game so Adley was not going to catch a day game after a night game. That's pretty much been the pattern all season with Adley and McCann starting at catcher.

Hays has a .949 OPS against LHP this season, Mateo .819

cowser worse than those two, but the trade-off is with Cedric vs LHP

and McCann is a backup catcher, who does indeed hit lefties better than righties as well
