I was listening to the post game when I was writing and thought I heard the record of 12-14. I didn't double check, and acknowledge that I should have. I got a little caught up in the excitement of having an actual winning streak. Again, my apologies for inaccurate comment. Sorry about that.

They must be teaching a different kind of math now than they did when I was a kid. (Hint: To figure out how many games under/over .500 a team is, calculate how many wins you'd need to add to/subtract from the W column to make it equal the number already there in the L column. That's your answer. So for the current case of 12-17, you need to win five more games to equal the losses you already have, so you're five games under .500, not two.) We’re also sitting just 2 game below .500!

If one of the catchers has to be sacrificed, let it be Estrada. He hasn't shown me much thus far. Plus, he looks like a lumpy pile of mashed potatoes in uniform. The sight of him shlumpfing up to the plate doesn't inspire me with confidence. I agree with keeping Wil Nieves on the roster at all costs.
