He made his MLB debut with the Cardinals on May 9, and while he initially performed at the plate the overall results were quite different.
Being used as the starting catcher against left-handed pitchers, the team has gone 4-17 in game's he has played.
The team was 17-17 at the time of his debut. So, in the game's he has not caught, the Cardinals have gone 19-12.
They are currently 40-46 overall and 10 games out of first on July 5.
There is nothing in his resume to indicate he is a clubhouse problem. Nor is he mentioned in team chemistry.
However, the team's ERA for the season is 3.58. When Long is catching it is 4.28.
I think it is time to send Long down and give another catcher a shot.
