The Catching Situation

[Il BuonO]

All of this is unfair to Sisco who hasn’t even made a start yet. I’m perfectly comfortable letting him take the reins.

Looking forward to his 0-3, 2K, 1 HBP performance.

Passed ball, wild throw to second.  Severino didn't exactly set a high bar.

Apparently, y’all have become much more serious here than I remember. Sisco doesn’t exactly thrill me.

And Severino took a beating behind the plate in both games getting hit by foul tips. 

But he is leading the team in hits, tied with Mullins. Just like we all predicted.

You saw the post in which I was predicting his only contribution on offensive will be by HBP?  Does that seem overly serious to you?

I just like taking shots at Severino's defense, because I think it is more lack of effort than lack of ability.

Just once I'd like to read/hear someone say that they only use Total Zone or UZR or Statcast data as the sole, indisputable measure of a player's skills.  Just once.  Because I've never heard anyone say that, but at least once a day I see someone make a point of saying they don't do that.

Not sure I understand your point. Like dWAR, I doubt that any GM uses "Total Zone or UZR or Statcast data as the sole, indisputable measure of a player's skills."

But there are plenty of fans who find WAR or dWAR to be discussion ending, with no nuance accepted. In other words, many use WAR or dWAR as "the sole, indisputable measure of a player's skills." That's not only dull and unintellectual, but foolish.

What’s worse is watching occasional games and extrapolating off the impressions one gets from those games.    Or getting an initial impression and never moving off it no matter what happens after that.

He ruined your prediction already.

I think some thought my first post was serious.

He’s showing off. 1-4 with a hit and 3 k’s.

I wasn't expecting so many at bats when I made my prediction.
