Can't stress enough: both times, the runner is out 100% of the time with a confident throw. Easy outs. Two free outs. 

He's as good as ticketed to AAA after this showing IMO. 

Wrong.

Got to play defense to play for Buck!

 

Told ya'll he was making the team.

Yes. Indeed. He plays good enough defense.

I am not at all surprised that he made the team.

I expect him to get the starter's workload by the all star break.

Happy for him and excited to watch him play, for sure. Looks like you didn't read the whole thread. That's ok.

Looks like that sweet LH bat won the job. Good was hoping that's the way it would fall.

He's a wizard beside home plate

I do too. I see it as a straight platoon.

That would make Sisco the primary catcher then. Many more right handed starters.

Right.

See what I did there?

That might be true by midseason, but I see it more 50/50 out of the gate. Buck's been known to surprise us though, so definitely not out of the question.

If you look up I said the all star break and Weams agreed with me.

I do think they will ease Sisco in to some extent.  Maybe 100 starts for Sisco to 60 for Joseph.  (Wynns gets two in September)

I see him as a ROY candidate.

Gotcha. I basically agree, but it's going to depend how Sisco fares, obviously. If he's over his head defensively or pitchers indicate they prefer Joseph, not sure. But I agree he's not up here to sit 4 out of 5 games.

Sure if he is exposed on defense and the bat doesn't perform as expected things are going to change.

I think the plan is to ease Sisco into the dominant half of a platoon.
