Tight Divison Race with 12 games left and we have our .185 catcher batting in a tie game with RISP in the 6th inning over our catcher hitting .270. It's literally insanity
This seems like a good spot to pinch hit for Maldy, given that it's late innings, with RISP, tie game, game we need to win, etc. We also have the best hitting catcher in baseball sitting on the bench. Lots of factors aligned there to one obvious decision.
