I still don't think it's enough to rest our catchers like they need to be. I personally wouldn't want anyone who caught 9 innings of a night game to do more than pinch hit in the following day game.
There's a difference between resting guys and giving one guy's ABs to someone else. This is clearly resting Murphy and I'm not going to get on Snit's case for resting a catcher.
Another reason I won't get on Snit for resting guys is we don't know the multitude of little injuries that accumulate through the year. A day off can be as much about healing up a minor injury as about getting rest.
Snit doesn’t rest guys, so I’m not sure what you’re on about. No one is complaining about Snitker resting his players. In fact, it’s the opposite.
As for the catcher, you can sit him completely once every 5 days like teams normally do, and then DH him twice a week as well to give his legs plenty of rest. If Ozuna is healthy, sitting Murphy more often isn’t as big of a deal because you don’t need Murphy’s bat as much. Ozuna isn’t healthy right now, and it creates a big hole in the lineup.
Looks like Ozuna will be back quickly.
I just wish there was a way to get Murphy, TDA, and Ozuna all in the same lineup. That would require Ozuna playing defense, but Rosario has been awful out there anyway.
