Ryan Doumit Is Hurt, Water Is Wet
In what seems to be an annual event, Pirates' catcher Ryan Doumit is headed for the disabled list, this time with a fractured thumb. According to Dejan Kovacevic over at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, he's going to miss at least a month, and maybe more. And we all know what that means: MORE RONNY PAULINO!
I know there's nothing you can really do to prevent broken bones, shit happens, it's just frustrating to see Doumit constantly hurt. The injuries always seem to range from the nagging -- like hamstrings -- to the flukes -- like broken bones.
Perhaps next season, in lieu of catching equipment, the Pirates can send him behind the plate covered in bubble wrap which is stuffed with packing peanuts.
It does suck though because the Pirates had a good thing going with Doumit and Paulino splitting time behind the plate. The offensive output was near the top of the league for the position, and with Paulino spending the majority of the time on the bench the defense was improved as well.
