Catcher has been a dead spot for a while now.
If "for a while"' you mean since Mitch Meluskey then yes.

Ummm…Castro was a legit All Star the one time and Gattis/McCann had a few moments.

That's all I got.

We were having this discussion yesterday, best I could come up with was Biggio.

This offense is comatose right now. Only two runs against this dreadful pitching staff from the Rangers? Dunning was trash all day and we only managed one.

Another fyi: I looked up Korey Lee. Currently hitting .219 in 64 ABs in Sugarland

We had a tendency to make scrub pitchers look like Cy Young candidates last season too

Click made a terrible evaluation of the catching position.

it's killing the team
As much as I'm *****ing, this isn't true. He's continuing to make the long term play. Now, if those both flop then we'll have to address it. We have two promising up and coming options and Maldy has been good on D and working with pitchers.

Catcher across the league is generally a black hole. They're not the reason we are where we are. The rest of the team is.

Why is this rookie pitching in almost every game

Play the platoon correctly and it wouldn't be bad at all. This is more so on Dusty.

It was a joke. That's what the wink face means.

Yes, Castro was good that one time. Chirinos was decent too.

We definitely need Korey Lee to figure it out enough to get up here, although I'm not sure if his career .749 OPS in the minors is going translate to much more at the plate here in the Show than what we're getting now. It seems clear that the plan was to run it back limping around at the plate in the 9 hole one more year, but it's getting tough to justify.

McCann and Gattis combined for 30 HR and 117 RBI in 2017. That's is the best catcher combo ever for Houston

May as well be 10 runs with this offense. Dusty just keeping everyone else fresh for tomorrow, big brain.

Parker Mushinski sounds like a good name for a drink.

He's not a great hitter. He's just not terrible which about all you can ask for from a catcher.

They probably played 180-200 games combined with the DH so counting #s are overstated. Regardless both were at least league average or better.

Actually understated on HR…33 total from the catcher position…over 100 RBI as well.

Catchers hit better than DH and LF that year.

I just looked up Gattis' numbers that year at C vs DH and his hitting numbers when playing catcher were so much better

They only played a combined 181 games in 2017, so it wasn't too much overlap.

Play the platoon correctly and it wouldn't be bad at all. This is more so on Dusty.
One has to wonder how irritated Click is with this sort of thing. Dusty constantly ignores or misinterprets the data.

Pretty sure Dusty has a book that says "DATA ANALYTICS 101" buried in the bottom shelf of his desk that has yet to be opened.

Can't wait to see it again tomorrow. Groundhog Day with this team.
