Precisely, kdl.
Tony Wolfe

(would never happen, obviously)
Paul Sporer
8:45
They've needed a catcher foreverrrrr
Imagine if they had taken Posey instead of Beckham

Gil Hodges 0 for 21 in 1952 or 53.
Paul Sporer
8:46
Ty chat, I was hoping someone would look up Roach's Q
Derek
8:46
Posey would probably be in SF by now anyway!

Is there a case to be made for the Rays starting their other catcher, or is Zunino's propensity to run into one worth all the Ks?
Paul Sporer
8:46
Sure, but the Rays might've copped a series in the interim
AvatarDavid Laurila
8:46
Zunino is there mostly for his D.
Paul Sporer
8:46
I'd say it's worth it given his defense
Dal Maxwell
8:46
In 1968 I was 0-22 in the W.S.
bosoxforlife
8:46
I didn't have to look it up.

Remember when Zunino had just enough power that he wasn't totally worthless? His Mariners days seem a million years ago.
Tampa Bay Rays Liotta
8:47
remember when Toby Hall was going to be the Rays franchise catcher
Tony Wolfe
8:47
THERE'S a name, wow
Paul Sporer
8:47
Guess when you push 50 pitches in 2 IP, can't really go far
AvatarDavid Laurila

Looks like autocorrect maimed the Dal Maxvill mention.
Paul Sporer
8:47
I love John Jaso in his time. He was a shit backstop, but dude could hit
sadtrombone
8:48
You saying that Zunino is worth it because of his defense? Maybe when he had more power or defense, but not now.
Paul Sporer
8:48
For the Rays right now in comparison to Michael Perez, absolutely worth it
Also have to consider how comfortable pitchers are w/him
sadtrombone
8:49
Jaso was a shortstop? How did I miss that? <googles furiously>
Paul Sporer
8:49
Isn't everyone a shortstop? lol
Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

Here comes the four hour game.
Tony Wolfe
8:50
it was inevitable
Paul Sporer
8:50
Jaso was never a SS as a pro
kevinthecomic
8:50
Well, Robert's gave him a chance to get thru 2.....
sadtrombone
8:50
ha, I misread "backstop" as "shortstop". whoops.
Dave Roberts
8:50
The most shocking thing about this postseason was finding out that former Dodger catcher Kyle Farmer was playing SS for the Reds
Tony Wolfe
8:50
gotta get a bat like Kyle Farmer in the lineup however possible
8:51
I always say this
Section329
8:52
And Jaso was fan friendly. Saw him catch Felix’s perfect game
AvatarDavid Laurila
8:52
Wow. Had no idea Jason caught Felix's perfecto.
Dave Roberts
8:54
Obviously they don't want to get too far behind, but lifting your starter when he's given up 1 run in the 2nd inning feels like a panic move
Paul Sporer
8:55
It's how Gonso has been handled in his last 2 starts, too, plus they have game 7 Buehler in their back pocket
Cat Latos
8:55
I feel bad for Gonsolin, the team obviously had zero trust in him once the postseason rolled around even though he had a great regular season
Paul Sporer
8:56
Ya I was kind of annoyed by it. Of course the night I was heavily calling to let him go, he just didn't have it
AvatarDavid Laurila
8:57
FWIW: Dylan Floro learned his two-seamer in college from Dave Serrano, who coaches at Cal State Northridge.
Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

How many IP was Gonsolin supposed to get? Am I supposed to be rooting for Roberts to empty the bullpen, or was he supposed to go one time through?
