I reckon any of the other 4 non catcher guys on the bench any given day?

Such as... who? Who is a better option at this point until Westburg comes back or Kjerstad is healthy?

Good news is if we completely collapse Hyde will be gone after this season and all of the garbage hitting coaches.

The ol emotional hedge bet

That blown 1st inning opportunity set the tone.   

[Emory Eagle]

Honestly it’s comforting to me for the Os to suck.  Reminds me of my childhood.

Soto gave up two singles and two runs that were charged to smith.

Soto blows 

Yeah, struck out Duran, struck out O’Neill (who you previously suggest we just automatically IBB because he’s so hot), and got Devers to hit a stupid weak tapper with a .060 xBA. 

But he gave up a hard ground ball single to one of the game’s biggest lefty killers, so yeah, he’s absolute buns.

Any of the 4 I mentioned. Pick anybody. Hell, grab a name from a hat.

Hat names don't generally do much better. 

[Emory Eagle]

Oof, he really is going to get himself DFA’d isn’t he

The last three months of baseball have aged me considerably

Two outs is Kimbrel's kryptonite! 

 Dude can never finish off an inning. Thankfully this is garbage time which is where he should always be pitching for the rest of this season.

Kimbrel has been so reliable this year. I was a little concerned when he retired the first two.
