For whatever reason, the stupidity of the Reds to not put Ramon H. on the DL really hurt us last night. He was unavailable to even PH, they couldh't use Janish because he was the emergency catcher so we basically played with 23 men last night. Sad....

Yes they do, call up Ryan Hannigan, problem solved....
He was out with a stiff neck last night in AAA...
Then you call up another catcher, you CAN NOT go with just 1 catcher on the major league roster, this is not brain surgery, your DL your injured catcher and you bring up a backup who if needed can put on the gear and catch.
What catcher do you call up? Who do you DFA to make room for that catcher?
You could open up a roster spot by moving a player from the 15-day DL to the 60-day DL.
Mike Lincoln would be a prime candidate or maybe Homer Bailey (depending on how long you think it will take him to be ready to pitch in the majors again). Players on the 60-day DL do not count against your 40-man roster. There are no limits to the amount of players you can stash on the 60-day DL. At least, according to the following link there isn't.
Here is a link that discusses the options: http://www.sportsjournalists.com/for...;topic=31218.0
Also, while trying to find that answer, I gathered that clubs have to file a daily roster report with the league office. And if you list the status of a player as day-to-day you can retroactively (up to 10 days) put them on the DL. That being the reason you hear that term used so often.
There may be more to it than just that. But that is what I found. Take it with a grain of salt.

Well put Mike Lincoln on the 60 day DL works for me...
that is a fantastic idea....what catcher we calling up to fill the spot?
Hey Sparky! Indian Hill English teachers taught me everything I know!
I don't really think it hurt us last night. The problem is the entire offense didn't click last night. Unless you're saying that in the 12th they could've pinch hit Janish or whoever you would've called up to hit for Jordan Smith, and then that person would've hit a home run to give the Reds the lead. Hell, Corky hit a big double, it's the others who failed to get him in.
Right now Rolen is having his first struggles of the year, I don't believe he's hit a home run since the first game against the Phillies 2 weeks ago. That's going to catch up with the Reds, and is one of the big reasons the offense has really struggled the last 3 games.
In order for this offense to continue like it has they NEED Scott to be the player he was up until now. If this was a mirage, and he goes back to his last 3 years, then, well, Cincy we got a problem.
So if Hannigan has a stiff neck, and Ramon isn't good to play.. who does that leave us with? I am not familiar with our minor league catchers, who's considered the most ready to play down there?
Yea that really cost us the game!
This place melts down faster than Mickelson at Winged Foot after every loss. It's embarrassing.

Gimme a break.
What about Wilkin Castillo?
I thought he was still on the DL or at least rehabing.
