I mean…where would he play? We already have two catchers that are leagues better than him.James McCann hit a home run tonight with 2 walks.
Oh well, I suppose there wasn't a place on the big-league team for him.

Backup catcher, so we can put ozuna out of his misery
What’re the chances the fan even knew his mom died? I had no clue
He most likely didn’t. That was the point I was making.
Virtually zero. Because if he did, I can't imagine why the kid would have gone with "I texted your mom last night" as his big zinger to get Marte off his game.
If you're low enough to use someone's dead relative against them, you certainly aren't going to hold back.

Max Muncy just helped off the field after a knee injury when Michael A. Taylor hit it on a stolen base attempt. Dodgers broadcast not showing a replay. Think it was Orel Hershisher said his knee went the wrong way. Broadcast team sounds shook.
Hoping it’s not as bad as it seems

Interesting decision by Washington a week before the draft when they have the #1 pick

And Martinez didn't have to have his hand held in the playoff run

Odd given the youth of the team and what could be promising futures for a few of the younger players. I believe Martinez was mentioned at one point concerning the Braves' managerial job. Maybe after Fredi was fired in 2016 and Snitker served as interim. Snitker is on record as saying he felt things were such a mess under Coppolella that he considered going back to the minors after the season and I seem to remember Martinez' name bandied about as the permanent replacement. Nothing in Martinez' bio suggests that, so maybe it was just fan base rumbling (or me having an acid flashback).
He'd be my second pick to take over the Braves. My 1st would be Kevin Cash.
