Gary Sanchez is pretty horrible behind the plate and the Yankees seem very reluctant to move on from him even when he hits. 128 makes me think many teams today would tolerate Piazza behind the plate for his HOF bat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if your pitchers think you can call a good game, especially with stealing bases taking such a small role in today's game, and you can frame, the other stuff doesn't matter so much. Carlton Fisk wasn't all that defensively, took forever to put down the numbers, but his pitchers loved throwing to him , so now he has a reputation as a top defense catcher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven inning doubleheaders are one of the changes I hate. Last year was different so I get a temporary change. For regular doubleheaders in non shortened seasons...no way. Constant changes to the game are not to be taken lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get it for this year as I guess there is still the possibility of a lot of double headers due to the virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Colome would be much worse if he wasn't closing. I think getting the "save" forces him to focus and pitch much better. If he wasn't as focused, his stuff would become much more hittable. Sox don't need to spend more on their bullpen. They should put whatever money they have left to spend elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He apparently never scrolled down to the threads claiming no respectable free agent would sign with the Sox because the manager is allegedly an alcoholic racist. Or the thread where Sox fans were trying to financially destroy the team because they wanted Hinch instead of LaRussa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the swear filter is fucking broken, can we just turn it off completely? It makes no sense that b****ing and moaning is filtered and fuck and shit are not.
