Well Mac needs to catch him next time

Yeah I mean if there's that big of a discrepancy it's a no-brainer IMO

 

[msstate7]

I’d wager most pitchers are at least a tick better with McCann catching them. He’s the class of his position when it comes to game calling and pitch framing.

I don't know about framing, but I do think Mac calls a better game.

 

[salmagundy]

Brault about done. 69 pitches thru 2+ IP

Yea I think Flowers actually generally rates as a better framer—though McCann still rates well there—but the game-calling factor may very well mean advantage McCann.

Lol anyone think our genius of a manager is aware of this stat? And if he is, do you think he’s actually willing to make the switch?

 

[msstate7]

Dammit. Dude completely lost control and then threw 5 great location strikes in a row

 

[msstate7]

Why FF?

 

[jpx7]

Markakis should not start against LHP.

 

[CyYoung31]

What a joke.

 

[msstate7]

Riley and albies, pathetic

 

[jpx7]

Riley and Albies really bailed dude out there.

 

[Braves1976]

some around here think snit is a good manager yet Culberson didn't even get an at bat vs the nats after he was the main reason we beat them last year. Plus Markakis continues to be played too much again this year. I don't care how cheap he is, that hurts us.

Neck is trash again

He’s still starting Markakis against LHP, so probably not. Then again, a Riley, Acuna, Camargo outfield would be disastrous.

Man, rough game so far. We’re doing very little when it matters and the Pirates looks clutch af

How do the Pirates look “clutch”? I could hit what #MyAce is throwing up there.

 

[msstate7]

Why in the hell is fried out there?

Frazier missed a cookie there
