Flowers doesn't thrill me but why do people blame the catcher for a pitcher's incompetence? Putnam is no star.

 

Putnam is not a fastball pitcher and Flowers called for a high one when he has been throwing splitters the whole time which nobody was touching. It was stupid.

Moss is the same guy who admits he can't hit breaking pitches so he always looks for fastballs

 

Yeah, but it's obviously Flowers' fault that Putnam can't locate his breaking stuff in the zone.

Don't get me wrong, Flowers sucks and I would love to play a catcher that was hitting over .200 and/or able to throw out even a single runner in his place... problem is, those are scarce resources in high demand.

He's striking out way more guys than last year, walking the same amount and last year his ERA was 1.98. His ERA's gonna come way down, he's just given up a fluky amount of homers.

 

As for the sign, yeah he could have shaken it off but a lot of guys don't. I don't imagine he would have shaken off the splitter, which their guys couldn't hit. I'm not gonna crucify Flowers for it, I just didn't like it.

I guess, but I tend to blame the guy throwing the ball. I do know that Soto is lousy as well.

I am jinxing the heck outta players tonight so I'll just say it's quite obvious that Abreu sucks and can't hit

He is f*cking terrible. I'd rather have Tyler Flowers up. More chance of the Bulls winning this year's championship than Abreu getting a hit here.
