What if Abreu doesn't have confidence in Maldy blocking a pitch in the dirt and is leaving his pitches up? Haven't researched it at all.
Actually that may be better. Get Diaz's glove and arm into the game and he hits better when playing catcher.
32289"]Hensley really PH for Bligh?[/QUOTE] I think Hensley may be the biggest disappointment (besides injuries) this year. I had huge hopes, and he still has the same ability as last year - He just needs to swing the bat!!!
Using the wrong denominator, considering the problem is number of total games caught period... and that rookie pitchers have made up nearly 60% of games started...
Of all the baseless, nonsensical, half ass insults that dumb people on this site have hurled my way, this one is by far the most insulting. Good job!
Diaz should be starting more, clearly. But you keep using the Baker hesitates to start him with rookie pitchers quote. You then compared his starts at catcher with Dubon's at 1B (2 whole times). Clearly, Baker starts him with rookie pitchers.
Not to Bregman. K'd on balls twice. 1-3 w/ 2B a run and 2 walks Is better than 1-5 w/ 2B a run and 2 Ks.
Which statement is most true Baker is hesitant to start DIaz at catcher Baker is hesitant to start DIaz at catcher with a rookie pitcher In other words, regardless of what Baker said, based on his actions, he is hesitant to start Diaz at catcher regardless who is pitching. And your percentage is wrong. Valdez, Javier, Garcia, Urguidy and Bielak have started 61% of the games (56 out of 92).
