Eminor3rd Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 7, 2015 -> 11:35 AM) South Side Sox @SouthSideSox 39m39 minutes ago Tyler Flowers has been one of the best pitch framers in baseball so far this year, and he showed it Wednesday. http://www.southsidesox.com/2015/5/7/85642...d-what-he-could … Fixed the above. I hope it continues, but I don't think we should brand him with this skill quite yet. But hopefully we'll be able to do so soon -- he talks about how much he works on this stuff a ton in his interviews, so it stands to reason that we should see some improvement.

EvilMonkey Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Can we use the Designated Hitter for our catcher spot instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to only be framing pitches for relievers, not the starters. Wonder how that beef started? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconOnAStick Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 He should work on catching the ball imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 He should work on catching the ball imo. The pitchers should work on getting the ball to go more than 58 feet in the air before hitting the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
