    Contreras being labeled a catcher is much worse. Contreras has 5 PB. TDA had 5 last year in like 100 more innings

    Contreras could be better, but Fried has no idea where the ball is going.
    Yes but pitchers are going to have to back foot some off speed pitches in the dirt occasionally man...balls in the dirt can be pivotal to an aggressive hitter...like all of ours.

    I like em. A catcher that cant block pitches though is a huge liability.

    No more than he has any idea of how to catch. TDA getting hurt is magnified big time here. Willie needs to be in Gwinnett learning on the job ... not in the show.

    Don't understand the "one knee" stance. Is it true that he didn't use it in the minors and is having to learn it now?

    If that's true, we have complete incompetence running the team

    The one knee stance helps frame pitches better even though it sacrifices some ability to block balls in the dirt. It's why Flowers had issues from time to time but was one of the best framers in the game.

    Not sure if Contreras is learning that on the fly or not.

    Down 5 in the 5th, chip says it'll take a comeback for the ages. I agree, chip... this team just doesn't have that dangerous feel to them they had the last few years.
