Caratini kept calling fastballs cause he was worried about the runner stealing ,   zero reason Rogers should be throwing MEAT !!!!!!!!

Two cutters and three sinkers. I thought Rogers might come back with a cutter. Either way, Rogers missed his spot. Caratini could care less about a stolen base. Almost every SB is on the pitcher. I sucked at holding runners.

Caratini is not a good catcher, and the plan is to have him as the number 1 catcher next year?  We are getting a glimpse of what that will be like.

Not sure if you watch the games or follow some other way .... Caratini is a decent catcher. He catches everything, calms down our inexperienced pitchers, and is really good on tag plays. Catching is not a problem. Hitting? That is a horse  ....

Seats behind home plate to have the river view as your background is chefs kiss for your 1st experience. You have any local food at the ballpark?

No.  Ate before game at North Shore Tavern then couple local IPAs at game.  Going to eat at game tomorrow.

He was a DFA pickup and is 30 years old with limited upside.  He will go on a hot streak for 7 to 10 days, then you have to live the flyouts and strikeouts.  No one else to this point in his career thought he would be beneficial as a starter to help their team.   Let's try and raise the bar of expectations for this team.  

Not try. Do.

Last year wallner hit around 20 homers and had around 40 rbi's  ...

Have you noticed Buxton has 17 homers and only 27 rbi's  ...

Clearly Buxton is going to break wallners record if it is a record ...

Joey Gallow was the same way. 

HR × 1.2 = RBI.

Sounds like a nice hustle double for Keaschall.  The Pirates radio boys said that Cruz was lazy getting over to the ball.

He was totally half effort.
