Anybody else seen enough of Castro's defense behind the plate? So many passed balls and an 18% caught stealing rate.

Garvers hurt so ...

That pitch by Dyson was definitely a wild pitch. Plus it's also on the pitchers to keep the runners at 2nd close. Not always the catcher's fault with stolen bases.

It might be worth looking at if steal attempts are down overall. But, yeah. And he’s still probably our best bet back there, glove-wise.

The White Sox came back on Cleveland, and Cleveland’s pitcher was... Carlos Carrasco. It was Carrasco’s second appearance since he went on leave.

 

That’s just a tough, tough call there to bring in Carrasco. Francona deserves some second-guessing, in my opinion. Not that I’m not unhappy about the results big picture.

I don’t think stealing means a lot anymore

I see that the Twins catchers throw out 19% of base stealers (league average is 28%), so that's bad. But the Twins rank 11tth in MLB in stolen bases given up).

 

I guess when you give up home runs stolen bases take a back seat.
