Gray credits Pages heavily for the complete game shutout tonight. Seems he is more valuable than you think

We’ve always been told Gray calls his own pitches. Did that change or is he just being the clsssy vet passing praise to pages?

The truth is, Sonny is an avid reader of CT. He saw this post and is laying a first class troll on you! 8)

Recently, a brilliant analysts said this:
"Right now, he is easily the best catcher (defensively) from the group which has populated the roster this year.
The pitching staff and the coaches have made it very clear that he is the one they trust."

Pages is very good behind the plate, his defense and pitch calling are solid.

That said, (IMO) Bernal is the one to watchout for as he could combine both defense& hitting! :D

Probably half of pitchers in MLB combined with any catcher could throw a complete game shutout against Cleveland right now. Did you all look at that lineup?

Pages only gets credit for the games in which pitchers pitch well he doesn’t get any of the credit when they get blown up or pitch badly that’s the rule

You’re right. Gray was actually garbage.
This kind of (bleep) just slays me.

C'mon that's just stupid. Sonny had electric stuff last night and gave up only one hit while rarely missing the plate.

seems it wasnt hardly 2 weeks ago it was a cardinal catching comedy of errors of balls going to the backstop. People were PO'd at the catching in the game threads.

Why would you miss the plate against that lineup?

Mikolas has a 6.09 ERA with pages catching this season 3.18 with Herrera catching and 1.25 with pozo catching according to some posters logic on cards talk it must be pages and his calling terrible games with MM pitching that the lizard eater isn’t a cut young candidate this season

If he was catching. Pozo is catching.
But yes, I don’t think Miles would have a shutout with Pages!
