Imagine playing baseball your whole life and being as bad at it as Flowers is.

Why did we send down William?

Not sure why flowers getting hated on. He's a solid player for us.

He hasn't had his 7 game breakout yet.

Probably to protect his clock. Hopefully AA doesnt re-sign Flowers this winter. A TDA/Contreras platoon sounds amazing.

He had a .325 BABIP last year and hit .229 with a 34% K rate.

He is one of the worst catchers in the big leagues.

Jerry Day?

And yet he was at 2.1 fWAR in 85 games.

It's actually on Aug 2nd and has been cancelled this year. Normally it's a tribute to Garcia

Wrong day probably jinxes this game.

Because of pitch framing, not his offense.

Touki always worries me. He can be cruising and then **** hits the fan and a big number gets posted. He usually gives up runs in bunches or none at all.

You can pretty much say the same thing for all of our starters not named Soroka or Fried.

Good inning for Touki.

Obviously. SJ said flowers was "one of the worst catchers in the big leagues" and wanting contreas though.

Another K for Acuna. Looking at 2 called strikes on the inside corner.

He's totally lost at the plate right now.

Ozuna a bad man
