We are 23-3 when scoring four or more runs, by far the best in the league, so I'd say it's close to a lock.

Love Frazier's stance and intensity at the plate.

Can almost hear him yelling for the women to get out of the way so he could save the guy.

I'm 100% in favor of adding another stick to the roster, and I do agree Hanigan and Mes would be good PH options on their days off. I just think there'd be very very few games where we'd ever use a third catcher.

Wow, I hadn't heard that Frazier story. That's awesome.

Yeah. The 3rd Catcher might never make it out of the bullpen unless there is an injury or an extra-inning game.

I don't think Dusty likes to PH with his backup catcher unless he has to.

Re: Reds vs. Pirates Tuesday 5/29

I won't mind seeing Dorn get a shot even as just a bench bat. . Here is his AAA slashline vs. RHP:

.274 .337 .520 .857.
