Big difference between knowing what the ump is calling as a catcher… and being able to recognize and hit those pitches as a hitter.Bregxit said:JPN06 said:
Yeah that's about what it looked like on TV. An inch outside the strike zone. And I think there's a big difference between being a good hitter that gets the benefit of the doubt on that call and being a guy who struggles to hit .200 & gets rung up a lot of that call.
We're on the same side obviously as far as we want him get good calls… but you're the one that brought up the fact that he gets screwed a lot and that being the case, that's a pitch he needs to swing at with 2 strikes.
He is the catcher that knows what the ump is calling. It's not the same as your typical struggling hitter.
