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

Or the fact that the guardians are playing awful baseball right now
Re: Can we stop with how great Pages is behind the plate ?
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?

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!

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

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.
