    Because he literally said that to the Houston Chronicle:

    Baker said he would rather stay away from a rookie-rookie pairing on the mound and behind the plate when he can.

    Perhaps pick up a newspaper?

    No one has any fear of running on Maldy. A single or a walk is a double.

    It's hard when they strike out on pitches in the dirt for your whole career, and then they just stop swinging at them.

    At some point when Yordan comes back there will be no choice but to start Diaz at catcher. And Baker should be fired if he doesn't oblige.

    Bagwell once had a great arm... then yeah... Maldy's machete is now safety scissors.

    Nah. Dusty earned his spot. This isn't the NBA. Just DFA Maldy instead or fake an injury.

    Can someone tell me what's the point of a DH that you will pinch hit for?

    How do you not use Yanier in this situation?!

    Dusty is obsessed with catcher injuries…
