He ran the wrong way.  He has misplayed pop-ups all season.  Not the worst weakness to have as a catcher since he has done everything else so well but it’s definitely a trend at this point.

He ran the wrong way...? Lol

It was a bunt popped backwards. You have no way of knowing where it exactly is and only tenths of a second to be able to locate it. He located, went full speed and dove towards the spot.

If you had ever caught, you would know how silly that statement is. 

A bunt pop-up isn't even in the same category of play as a swinging pop-up behind the plate anyway. Difficult for two completely different set off reasons. I also have never noticed McCann being poor with either and I doubt you can quantify it.

He had a glove on it so it wasn’t an impossible play to make.  I’m sure other people who have perhaps watched more games than you this season have noticed that McCann has struggled and dropped some pop-ups.

Looks like he just got his slump buster.

Yes he struggles but that wasn’t one of them
