    This is the Burrows Dana Brown thought he was trading for.

    We are also seeing why even depth injuries like Dezenzo can matter. Dustin Harris or Whatshisname Johnson would not have hit a 2 run homer in this game.

    facing against his former division rival, burrows might have found something.

    first time in burrows' career, he has retired a batter in the 7th inning.

    Maybe Vasquez should be the starting catcher going forward

    Let him go another inning. Odds of it happening? 0%

    100%. Option Diaz and let him try to rediscover his bat. If Salazar can’t hack backup duty, give Carlos Perez or even Collin Price a shot.

    No way. That would be asking for discomfort. Rum De Los Santos out there and if he does well go ahead and run him out there for the 9th.

    Definitely call it a day for burrows. It was an amazing start, he’s starting to look better. The last thing you want is to send him out there for another inning and give up a two run homer, being the last thing he remembers from this game.

    what an outstanding game from burrows

    Salazar didn’t look that great catching Lance.

    I agree but generally he’s gotten good reviews and the pitchers (outside of Framber) seem to like working with him.
