This is so true…there are so many casual fans I’ve talked to that think Dusty is a great manager and Maldy is some defensive wizard that calls amazing games.
Maldy also does a bad job with framing too. He's lazy with it. Hope Framber doesn't lose his cool here.
I’m shocked there are two players worse defensively. But then again not shocked Kyle Schwarbers fat ass is one of them.
Shame that you can't put in your best line up with the season on the line because of seniority. And as a result the entire lineup gets labeled as not having heart or it. Strangest thing I've seen in 9 years, Donovan not being allowed on the USA squad b/c of history with manager. We need focus and send good vibes to our 1-8 hitters. Let's tie it up now.
Moldy needs to get his greasy arms off Framber, the ump might think its a sticky cheating substance...
I hate it when people downplay what damage Maldonado does to the team. Just for fun, let's imagine a hypothetical scenario where you are a pitcher who tends to throw sinkers a lot, but your strike out pitches are cutters and curve balls that you locate pretty low most of the time. Let's say you start a game out by striking out a batter....only they get on base due to your garbage tier catcher allowing yet another passed ball. Now you have a runner on base and you start to wonder if you can risk throwing your go to pitches anymore because they have a pretty good chance of not being caught....maybe then you start to locate those go to pitches a bit higher than you want to and you get shelled as a result and give up let's say 4 runs that inning. That entire scenario is caused by the decision to play a garbage tier catcher. Have someone even halfway competent back there and that's potentially a 4 run difference before even talking about swinging a bat. You know, just a completely made up hypothetical.
I find it amusing (not really) and surprising (not at all) that you folks (morons) continuously blame things on the wrong people. Good luck with all that.
