I would play Travinski tonight.


His run production outweighs the dropoff in defense. He's certainly no Milazzo behind the plate, but Travinki is better defensively than many here give him credit.

He has not produced a run since June 5th. But has helped give up 1 run defensively by way of passed ball

Decent catcher but not great.

Doesn't block well
Framing is inconsistent
Depends on reaching too often


Better bat by far

In regular season play, yes. The CWS, no. Plus the wind blowing in the way it is also eliminates that.

This is why Milazzo needs to be in. You’re facing elite pitching at this stage which means low scoring games. You have to limit mistakes defensively the best you can in games like these. So right now you go with the better pitcher. We still have plenty of guys in our lineup who can come through for us hitting wise.
