I only listen to catchers when it comes to catching. I caught in college and I would have been torn a new asshole for not blocking that, despite being nowhere near the MLB level. You're always looking to frame... However, with a man on 3rd. First priority is that guy not scoring. It's an unforgivable mistake at the MLB level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Not even attempting to block a pitch that is easily blockable (with a runner on 3rd) is lazy and unforgivable. Yes Literally just turn your glove over. That was a routine stop to make. Bounce in front of the plate = Pitcher's fault. Bounce after crossing the plate = catcher's fault. Especially seeing as it was dead center in front of him. That pitch would have been stopped by most JUCO catchers. Edited May 28, 2018 by Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insp Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Except for Engel, all of the Sox batters in the 4th inning took at least 3 pitches before swinging. Shows how with plate discipline you can both score runs and run up the pitch count. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Taking less than three pitches is unforgivable! Batters that fail to do so immediately go straight to baseball hell. Do not pass go and do not collect $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) @Insp Every single hitter in the 4th swung at one of the first two pitches. 3 of 5 swung at the first. All three of those AB's resulted in hits - two were the HR's by Anderson/Skole. http://www.espn.com/mlb/playbyplay?gameId=380528105 White Sox 4th inning: Palka - 1st pitch: Swinging Strike (Curve Ball, 73 MPH) Skole - 1st pitch: Foul Ball (Fast Ball, 90 MPH) Anderson - 1st pitch: Foul Ball (Slider, 83 MPH) Engel - 2nd pitch: Pop out Tilson - 2nd pitch: Foul Ball (Slider, 81 MPH) Edited May 28, 2018 by Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to listen more to a ML pitcher who probably threw to 50 ML catchers in his career than blame a catcher trying to catch ML stuff. Juco players don't catch for ML pitchers.
