Why on earth have the Rockies carried 3 catchers on the 26 man for basically the whole season? The two catchers not named Hunter Goodman have been absolutely dreadful.

Goodman is their best hitter so he's the DH on the days he doesn't catch. On those days, their backup catcher will need to be pinch hit for at some point. Instead of losing the DH spot by moving Goodman to catcher, they just substitute their 3rd catcher. Ideally, they'd get more offense from Sullivan or Fulford. Both have hit well in AAA. But it's a tough gig.

Looks like Detroit is going with a 6 man rotation of Skubal/Mize/Flaherty/Valdez/Montero/Melton starting Saturday. Question is-What do you do with Verlander when he's ready in the next week or so?

Their bullpen really needs some help and Melton/Montero have a chance to be impact high-leverage arms. My guess is that they give Verlander every chance to get back on track while they temporarily go with a 6-man rotation and Montero goes to the 'pen. In a scenario where Skubal, Valdez, Mize, Flaherty, Verlander are all healthy and pitching effectively later in the season, Melton and Montero pitching in high-leverage bullpen roles isn't out of the question. But at least for the next 2 months, I'd expect they want at least one of Montero/Melton to remain stretched out.
That will do it for today. Thanks for joining us!
