    Yeah, that one should have been much closer than the score showed. I'd imagine it would be a bit different if Nola shows us that mess next time around.

    I think that's pure speculation. We also don't know of anything else they might have been talking about. Be more upset we didn't upgrade an actual need like LF, rather than catcher.

    The tweet just listed all the Braves pitching prospects to make some top 100 list. Not that they were on the Marlins list. I think they wanted someone in the top 50 plus riley or pache.

    I would have done Touki, Wentz, Wilson or Gohara plus Riley and never looked back.

    The Phillies are back up 7-6. If they drop today, they'll be 1-4. I'm starting to think the Nats just might suck.

    Robertson didn’t look good in the Braves series either. The phils have an all star offense but that pitching could be an adventure.

    Realmuto isn't going to help that staff. He is a worse receiver/framer than I had realized.

    I do think his offense will be better due to getting out of Miami but I wouldn't be shocked if the Phillies catchers only have a 1 WAR advantage over the Braves at the end of the year now that framing has been put into the mix.

    I actually think we will outpace Philly in catcher WAR since framing has been added.

    i mean 5 games wouldn’t mean anyone sucks regardless of when in the season it happens

    Someone mentioned in the game thread that JTR looked like a HS catcher trying to frame the ball, and he was spot on. Constantly snapping the ball into the middle of the zone after he catches the ball. It was really bad.

    Compare it to how Flowers catches a pitch while moving the glove as he's catching it. It makes it look like the pitch carried his glove into the zone, rather than some obvious snatch into the zone after he catches it.

    One would think with all the talk around baseball about framing and such, the umpires would catch on and call the ball where it crossed the plate... but no.

    This is why I hate the idea of robot umps. Framing is a skill that has been taught and used for decades. And now (thanks in part to FG) it's a quantifiable skill. Robot umps would make this skill obsolete and this bothers me tremendously.

    I'm less bothered by the thought that balls and strikes would be accurate.
