McCann is easily outplaying him this year. I also hear a lot about Grandal’s framing skills but it seems like our pitchers have performed better with McCann catching than Grandal. I don’t know how to look up CERA but that’s my sense at least.

Neither of them have played twenty games

NICE!!!

Dear god what a turn

3-5-3!!

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I think pitchers work faster with McCann and never shake him off

Gio still has faced the min...

Abreu is great at making the throw to turn the double play, I'll give him that.

I know RR is an idiot and wouldn’t do it but honestly it would be a no brainer for me. If this trend holds thru the next 5 weeks, you have to start McCann in the playoffs, especially for Gio starts.

He has a right fielders arm. ???

Thing of beauty!

Abreu has been really really good on D.

Anything is possible. McCann has been the Sox best hitter behind Anderson. They will need him to make the playoffs and going into the playoffs. Shoot for the world series if you are making the playoffs.

I agree, just laying out the argument.

Yeah, his range is still pretty bad, but he has been fielding everything he can get to

And yet the regular season is almost half over. It’s a sprint this season, not a marathon

I really love how we can't ever celebrate McCann doing something good without turning it into a referendum on Grandal. Def one of my favorite things.

Yep and if they keep the Arkansas connection going, you play McCann also.

Abreu has looked much better all-around this year.

Ugh Engel has completely lost his swing

For sure. Keuchel certainly seems very comfortable with McCann as well. Why again did they commit to Grandal over the next 4 years rather than McCann?

For those wondering.

That means less than nothing without the context of who has caught who and how many times. 

TA HBP?

Thanks Jack. Looks like my general sense was right!

Several seasons of one of them being one of the best catchers in baseball.
