Oli, keep Pages on the bench and Svanson in the BP

Post by janb526 »

Supposedly, he is a great defensive catcher and botches a pitch, gets a passed ball and allows two runs to score instead of one. He is not hitting and swinging at pitches that are way out of the strike zone. I have some sympathy for Pozo for the small amount of at bats that he has received this season so far. Why is this team carrying three catchers when one of them never catches a game. And, why in the world, do you bring in Svanson in a one run game? For you Oli lovers, this is a perfect example of how dumb he is as manager. Plus, allowing Saggesse to bat against MIller. FOOLISH

Pages has allied 10 passed balls many of which he could have easily caught by blocking instead of lazily stabbing at 2 passed balls and committed 3 errors. He can throw but he can’t catch I would prefer a catcher who can’t throw but can catch bring up crooks svanson they are doing him zero favors by leaving him up

Where are you seeing 10 PB? I’m not seeing that. Just wondering.
