I'm somewhat glad he is out for the year. The medical redshirt should go through and we will get him back for a strong campaign next year. Not that this season is a wash by any means, but this team is what it is. I would rather have him come back strong next year with Gunner and the rest of the returning cast, maybe either Hogan or Lee will return, and hopefully a new hitting coach and we make a big run. Also, I really hope this is the last season we have to watch McKinnon behind the plate.
I think McKinnon has done a good job Being thrown in the first game
If Monica comes back next year McKinnon at backup will be to our advantage

McKinnon by all accounts is a good dude but on field he is a massive liability on this team. Add .100 to his current batting average and only then it's approaching mediocre. He is a very easy out. FAR Too easy at our level.
I find it incredibly disappointing we dont have a 3rd option at catcher that can be trusted to hit better than McKinnon's anemic .150.... Dude cant touch a curve and is late on Fastballs....AND....No one on bench or Freshman being redshirted is better than this?
We really don't have a true DH option hitting above the Mendoza line, why would you expect to have a third catcher who could.
Looks like we need to try real hard to learn to be happy with what we have this year and hope and pray that the strong suites out way the week ones in any particular game and we can get on a win streak that way - J1M, 27 in a row!!!!!!!!!
