Big Jon has fielded his spot very well. I'm not convinced Abreu makes all these plays.
And that goes back to my other post about who is catching which pitchers. Yainer catches the rookies and they have been in the minors with the current rules regarding pitch clock and limited throw overs. They have been forced to learn how to be quicker to the plate than our veterans.gambochaman said:AlwaysNextYear89 said:
As far as the stolen bases go, I'm having to listen this season rather than watch, and I cannot tell you how many times Ford or Sparks have said after a steal that the pitcher gave Maldy no chance. The runner stole it off whoever was on the mound. Tonight's steal they said was as much on Bregman because of where he received the ball. They said the throw was there in plenty of time.
And yet
Lets look at Yainers numbers

This team plays just like their manager. Like they have a 15 game lead and no sense of urgency.
