Martinez, Iannetta and Hermann with 3 K's each... Lamb and Marte with two each. Team total of a whopping 16 K's for the game! You would think we faced Koufax, Gibson and Nolan Ryan today! Holy crap is that BAD!!! :(:(

Can anyone explain to me in logical terms why Hermann is still on the roster?

He rarely catches anymore, he isn't good defensively and he's worse than most of our pitchers at the plate.

There isn't anyone in our minor league system who can bring more value to this team than him? If the answer is no, then the future for this team is terrifying.

Also, what happened to Blancos offense as well. He is now what, 0-13 as a pinch hitter with maybe 8 strike outs?
