Well, say what you want about the catching, But Maddox is straight nasty… if we can figure out how to catch and block instead of trying to backhand, would have been a different story….. two passballs for scores and a dropped can o corn at short which scored a run. That is 3 off the top right there. Just not sharp
I’ve asked the same question before. You see that crap everywhere now. You lose your ability to slide over easier. Don’t know why coaches allow itQuote:

And it's good strategy for the most part. Of course you get more passed balls, but stealing strikes is more beneficial imo.Quote:

Yeah, I don't pretend to know the intricacies of catching, but if you practice it one way all the time, changing it with a runner on 3rd doesn't seem practicalQuote:

Got fooled for sure. I'm more mad at our guys crying over obvious strikes being called strikesQuote:

Catching definitely has more swag than it did in my day. I like it.
Mfing Gehrig watching a pitch, instead of being in defensive mode!!!! **** me!!!
Exactly. I can get over these kind of simple mental errors... so long as we fix it. If we make the same mistake again, that's bad coachingQuote:

Trying not to overreact...but I do wonder if keeping Parker will be a regret for us. So far I haven't loved a lot of our pitching choices, outside of the starters. Am I crazy?
Yeah that’s soft as baby shit.Quote:

don't worry. even if webb holds here and we take the lead in the 9th. billingsley know the assignment and is warm and ready
2-4 hitters. Our guys should be able to hold their own vs anyone. Now will they? I'm not feeling it tonightQuote:

I have a lot of grace for players but that second one should have been caught especially after the hitter prior.Quote:
