How much longer is Brad Ausmus going to be allowed to be our everyday catcher?

He'll be the everyday catcher at least through the end of this year. He can't hit, but he calls a tremendous game and pitchers love throwing to him.

 

Overrated.... simply because he can't throw runners out anymore like he did 3-4 years ago. I think they should switch him to only catching the young guys.

 

Pitchers don't seem to think so. In the last game Pettite pitched, Bill Brown mentioned how Pettite loved pitching to Ausmus because it was "pitching on auto-pilot."

Look, I'm not an Ausmus fan, but you can complain about him all you want, but it's not going to change a thing. He's going to be the everyday catcher for the rest of the year.

 

Not sure what games youve been watching, but the dude makes contact.

His performance at the plate is just swell.

 

This comes up every year that Ausmus has played with the Astros. He's a poor hitter...we know that. Pitchers love him and he's smart behind the plate. He's not going anywhere this year.

 

Wow. Just wow.

 

Bradley is without a doubt our best player. Just watch him heat up soon.

 

[sarcasm] His defense is so good that we should win out the rest of our games this season. If you don't get that, it means you obviously know nothing of baseball. [/sarcasm]

 

OK, replace BA. With???

 

Chavez or Quintero

 

Brad or Raul, whomever is in automatically becomes the worst hitter in the majors.

this team is in deep trouble this year

we've score >4 runs exactly once

we're averaging 3.25 runs/game (2nd to last)

 

Maybe she can hit...on me.

(What a backstop.)

 

Brad now has the worst BA of all MLB players with his .089 - Good job Brad! Anyone in the minors could outplay him at the plate and behind.

And please, how many more games must we watch Adam "Leadoff K" Everett?

 

I'm just making a stab in the dark here but maybe it was because of your repeated use of foul and abusive language and destructive threads. Whatever you feel about someone, it is usually better received if you offer some valid points rather than derogatory insults.

I personally enjoy clutchfans over other forums because of the constructive nature of the discussion and well formed thoughts that are expressed and expect to see abusive threads closed down as a result.

And the word you are looking for is "inexplicably"

 

Ausmus' prowess in calling games and handling pitchers would be a huge asset if we had a lineup that could make up for his terrible bat....but we don't have that anymore.

 

I agree...He can't hit sh*t...yeah, calling a good game is great, but its only part of the game...However, look at our options...We're stuck like Chuck...
