That's a lot to ask of the pitcher. Catching the ball and awareness of the base to tag. The infield only has to worry throwing the ball properly.
We are just so bad with risp and less than 2 out. Seems like lately, except for last night, we are extra bad.
Diaz is a catcher. He hasn’t done that very much. Arrighetti dropped one of those a week or two ago as well.
I’m guessing because Tucker is at DH and Caratini has been catching Arrighetti. Personally I would have just given Diaz the day off.
