I didn't realize it was the 11th. He needs work

[vegascardsfan5890]

Are catchers getting weaker and weaker?

I swear every catcher I see has sucked at throwing out runners

Need I mention a slumping Braves team.

there's been the shift in catching the last few years....lower and lower to the ground...most, if not all, are now on one knee to get that target low to the ground and bottom of the zone....makes it tougher to thrown out a runner from one knee, or get up from one knee and then throw.

Maton>>>>>>>>Helsley>>>>and on to Gotham!

[Handsomebachelor]

Only way Donovan doesn't get hits is getting hit by pitches.

Crazy that he's quietly the guy with like the most hits in the entire league like they have been saying

[CardinalInNC]

Oh no

Looks like no Maton until Saturday again either, unless this inning is short

[rockondlouie]

NADO flashing Platinum glove today!

[82birds]

Nado

it's just plain fun watching him play D

fun for us, not for those in the visitors dugout

[CardinalInNC]

Well ok x that, Maton could be used again tomorrow night if needed

That was minimal pitches needed for that inning

[rockondlouie]

I'm still in the "sign Maton" to a 2026 contract NOW camp, guys been GOLD.

[vegascardsfan5890]

Chip and Brad really do discuss everything except the baseball game

[82birds]

Maton solid again

cuts "six outs left" in half
