Dana has to stop the madness with Maldy. Let him catch Verlander and be done . Anyone batting in front of him has to press knowing that they are bearing the burden not only of their at bat but Maldys too (since he’s an automatic out )
I think I’d rather have a pitcher hitting than Maldy - at least they know their limitations and they would be bunting most of the time - put the ball in play and things happen. Swing and miss then nothing happens
That embarrassing game against the Rangers may be a blessing in disguise. Hopefully it lit a fire under Framber and given him a renewed focus.
