    I say Romero but the gap isn't large. Advantage to Fernando for velocity.

    That's the thing: if umpires actually realized it was happening, it wouldn't be happening. We have very accurate ball tracking technology. It's more accurate than the umpires. Some catchers, year in and year out, get more strikes called for their pitchers. Others are the opposite.

    Hey, after a rough two weeks, Rodney has been very good. And he was let down by his defense pretty consistently during those bad two weeks. He was also pretty bad himself but the defense cost him at least one game, possibly two.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Also this.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Injuries. Before 2017, he never pitched more than 90 IP in a season.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't think the front office gets enough credit for seeing what they had in Romero and jumping him ahead of several other guys who easily could have been called up and it would have been a legitimate decision.

    It's a bummer that Castro is down. I think that actually hurts Garver, as it means one of the better framers in the league isn't there every day to teach him the nuance of the trade.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    He certainly has potential but this team is contending right now. They can give Mitch plenty of playing time to work out his kinks while also fielding better defenders to balance him out a bit. Catcher is the one position where that's really possible.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    No worries, it's something I noticed awhile back as well... but I've watched Garver catch. Maybe he calls an amazing game but he is not a good defensive catcher overall. I hadn't even looked up his framing stats until about 20 minutes ago but they confirmed exactly what I see from him behind the plate: lots of stabbing at the ball, loads of movement, and many missed called strikes. Maybe his offense carries the day as a poor man's Mike Piazza but he's going to need to hit a lot to make up for his defensive deficiencies.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    But who actually pitched those games? Because Garver is negative in framing. Maybe he calls a good game but he's not good at getting his pitchers called strikes. If you line up catching Berrios and Romero regularly, you're going to look pretty good... but that doesn't mean you are good.

    I wish this Romero kid was better at baseballing.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Facts and reason have no place in this discussion.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Just flipped on the game, didn't realize Sano was back!
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Alternative answer: because Garver is pretty bad behind the plate. Garver should be getting more starts than Wilson but in this situation, I wouldn't give him "full time" catching duties in his current state. I'd also be pursuing a catching upgrade ASAP.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Statcorner has Wilson at +1.0 RAA in just 318 opportunities and Garver at -3.9 RAA in 1123 opportunities. I think the conversation pretty much starts and ends there in the eyes of this front office. (also, Wilson passes the eye test while Garver fails it)
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Ah, the deadline. I misunderstood your point. I don't see it happening but I suppose it's a remote possibility.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I think it's pretty foolish to deal him if he's going to spend the season in the minors. He only has value if he's pitching against MLB hitters and succeeding. Besides, the Twins have options on Odorizzi, Santana, and Gibson. If you plan to move pitching this offseason, that's probably the place to start if you want any kind of return on the player.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    This is my thinking as well. Burning his final option during an injury recovery season likely keeps him in MLB for longer overall and he's getting paid either way.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Lewis is still 18 years old for a couple of weeks. He's fine in CR for another month or so (and it's not as if he's lighting the world on fire offensively). And Kirilloff has a lot of rust to shake off after being out for a full season. I expect he'll see a promotion soon as well. Both guys only have ~40 games played at Cedar Rapids.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm not sure why it took so long for Gordon to get this promotion but okay, at least he's where he belongs now.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    The difference between Berrios and Duffey is that Jose has more pitches than a curveball and throws them harder.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Rosario snagged a ball that Buxton had pretty easily and it appears Byron called him off but Eddie didn't listen. I don't think it was disrespect, it was merely Eddie being Eddie. I noticed it when it happened and watched the OF whenever they were on camera. Both were laughing and joking shortly thereafter so I don't think it was a respect thing at all, Rosario just plays his own game sometimes.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    This is the Lynn we all signed up to see pitch. About damned time he showed up.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Exactly. We’ve seen it plenty of times with guys coming off TJS.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Why doesn't it make sense? Guys coming off TJS recovery often lack command over their breaking stuff. I don't think anyone is saying May gets stashed in Rochester for the season, maybe just a month or two until he has a feel for pitching again. But if May has command over his breaking stuff right off the bat, it's a different situation.
