Yeah, but ball 4 to Contreras was a strike.

Umm… he’s been one of our best players and is new to playing 1B and has been one of the best defensive 1B in the league. He hasn’t been a bad signing at all!
And he has a home run and 4 rbi in the game

Ummm. They paid him too much and didn't need an 8th catcher in the system. It was a bad signing!
As evidenced by pages starting the majority of the games… Team is stacked with mlb ready quality catchers.

As much as I’d like to sneak into the post season I think I would rather miss the playoffs if it meant removing that P[ositively] O[bnoxious] S[impleton] we have as Manager.

Sneak view of his iPad shows why he didn’t pinch hit.

Still an overpaid, unnecessary signing. That money could've gone to a starter and it should've. Like I said, he's not a bad ballplayer. Just wasn't a signing that we needed.

Is the system shy of good catchers? Also, is Contreras even a catcher anymore? As I stated earlier, not a good signing for catcher.

O'Brien squeezed when HP Marquez calls ball 4 to Arrez. Was a perfect pitch, low inside corner... Shoulda been a K... Rookies don't get those calls very often though...

$17.5 million a year for 3.0 WAR per year isn’t something I’d call an overpay. He’s been solid for us

Good Lord! You have really low standards for offensive production. Other than RBI's? He's average at best. Like I said, I like the dude ok but it was an unnecessary signing. They paid too much. Money could've gone for a starter or a POWER BAT.
