OMIR CATCHING ON: Omir Santos caught a second straight game, which is an indication of how quickly he's made a positive impression. Manuel likes Santos' technique behind the plate, especially how effortlessly he catches tough sinkers. Manuel said the pitchers enjoy throwing to Santos too, so the manager is obliging by using Santos over Ramon Castro. |
