Oli and the media kept telling us how great he is …. Well does he get the blame now that the pitching sucks?

You know the pitcher decides what he throws and actually makes the pitch...

You’re correct but a lot of people on this board said “he handles the staff well” or similar crud. You hear it about others who fail on many areas, e.g., he’s a “scrappy little guy;” or “he’s great in the clubhouse.” Pages has been highly overrated on this board.

Pages is easily the most depressing player on this team. Every other player at least possesses the potential for some upside.

Only potential from Pages is an empty food cart.

Yes it is and really silly. So they have evaluated the sequence of pitch calls to determine his call if the game. And yes the pitcher has the final say.

I think of it as, "He's holding the spot for Bernal and Crooks."

Makes me feel better about .204 .248 .318 .566

yet the pitcher calls it all was not the solution to WC catching. it was a problem. And this even though pitcher can wear pitchcom and call his game to the catcher.

The pitchers did a very good job. I guess you are still part of the crowd that doesn't get it regarding Pages.
