The Catching Situation

I’m not worried about the catching situation. I think both Catchers have upside with their bats, and nobody runs anymore. Severino is a solid “everyday” Catcher at this point. 

Cisco is not a backup catcher behind the plate. He might have a decent bat, but his glove behind the plate isnt fun to watch.

Well if they let him wear his usual hat it'd be a lot more fun.

 

Seriously folks, what is so hard about Sisco?  It isn't that complicated of a name and to me, his defense isn't any more painful to watch than Severino's lethargy.

This entire thread kind of seems like debating over whether you should drive the Accord or the Altima when you have a Porsche coming in on back order.

Worse, it's in the garage, you just haven't bothered to get insurance for it yet.

It's not on back order, its in.   You are debating whether to drive the accord or the Altima when you pick it up....

If you work in the tech industry, it's hard not to spell it Cisco.

Oh look, another "manipulating playing time" jab by CoC.

Did you see where he was mocking people for not getting "correct answers from people for the easy stuff" on the last page?

Isn't it ironic, don't ya think?

And here I was thinking I needed to edit it to say don't feel like paying for the insurance but turns out it wasn't necessary for you to get the point, and if you can get the point, anyone can.

No, I can't do 8 pages of talking about Sisco/Severino and whatever quad A guy that looked good in ST that wildcard is fawning over when we all know AR is the only thing that matters.  I just hit the 9th page cause I was bored and wanted to see what you dolts were up to.

Ive said it before. I mean no disrespect. I work daily in the IT field and with hundreds of CISCO manufacture devices, so my fingers are trained by the repetition of typing that over and over.

Lol...it really is a silly conversation.

Who cares who is the catcher right now?  People still don’t seem to understand the Orioles don’t want to win and don’t care about winning.  
 

The only thing that matters is that we should be set at C for a long time.

Im not sure mocking is the correct term, but whom I am to disagree with you. 

I dont think there is anything that I can say,  you wont jab at, chew up, or correct me on.

I will say...I do care to a certain extent when I see Severino have a pitch go through his legs that should have been blocked.  It's tough to watch sometimes.

Good catching is good for the development of our pitchers, which is an in-progress objective long before Rutschman's arrival. And there is no guarantee he won't be a big disappointment anyway.
