Already sick of Grandal’s pitch selection 

pitchers call the games, not catchers.

They're going to walk in a run aren't they.

How long did Moncada get? So because because ceiling is lower that means time to improve is not allowed for both?

Come on, man.

Yoan is an all-world talent that everyone knew was raw. Madrigal is a maxed-out slappy hitter that is supposed to be polished.  There’s a huge difference.

epic fail Bummer, epic fail

also this strike zone is as bad as any I saw last year, absolutely brutal

As long as we don’t mind missing the playoffs this year like we didn’t in 2018 for Moncada, that reply is fine.

He is a lazy catcher.  The balls that get past him are not complex pitches that are moving like crazy.  He just loses concentration and it just gets past him.  

Can we trade Grandal for McCann straight up? Slightly joking...

I think we all know how this is going to end

Wait, what.  I must of missed this in college.  You mean I could of called the game.  Fuck me.  I did it wrong.  The guy dressed up in armor kept signalling me with fingers.  

They should tell Madrigal to get out of the huddle and his little ass in timeout

Awful HORRIBLE LUCK inning

Well, since knee jerk reactions are all the rage here...

HOW ABOUT THAT AMAZING BULLPEN WE GOT! Trade all these bums (no pun intended) immediately!

Madrigal and the ump fucked us

 

What a shitty way to give up the run.

Have to give credit to Upton there for that at-bat.

Well we lose.

part of being an elite framer - the best in the game by many accounts - relates to being vulnerable to passed balls at times. It's not lazyness, it's how you have to receive the ball.

I know it's only one game.  Still frustrating!

Who leads off the 9th?  Tell me not Leury.

game

you gotta come home with that throw dude

Stayed up until midnight to be pissed off, damnit!!

The term catcher in the name implies what he is supposed to do.  They don't call the position framer.

yes, pitchers throw the pitches they want to throw. hence how they shake off catchers. blaming a catcher for a pitch a pitcher decided to throw is literally hilarious. not surprising you were a pitcher; they love to blame everyone else for their decisions.

Typical west coast collapse
