Its sad when we are happy to have Bard as our catcher

But at least Bard is minimally competent.

It's all Rob Johnson's fault.

More Josh Bard!!

Karma police, arrest this man.

Fucking catcher's mitts. How do they work?!

Is this the official scorekeeper’s version of WP vs PB, or updated to reflect how many pitches Johnson actually should have caught/blocked?

Sometimes a pitch is legitimately wild, but watching him stab at a pitch bouncing in front of his foot , and also make no attempt to block it, makes me angrier than some of the other stupid things we’ve seen the M’s do this year.

No good.

He’d let it go right past.

Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.

I'm trying not to overreact, but...

Is it possible that this organization simply isn’t as good at evaluating talent as we thought?

by Jeff Nye on May 23, 2010 6:50 PM PDT reply actions  

I don't think that's the case.

I’m fairly certain that they are well aware of Rob Johnson’s passed-ball problems. Wak has said multiple times that they’re “working on it.” Clearly they’ve grown attached based on how he handled the pitching staff last year.

No

Rob Johnson is just bad and we don’t have any other options, I think

by barabuski on May 23, 2010 8:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

And if we add in Adam Moore...

The M’s catchers are tied in bases allowed from WPs and PBs and the bases the C’s have managed with their bat.

Oh, and Moore and Johnson have allowed 15 SBs and caught 4 runners. (Bard is 3 SBs, 0 CSs).

This might well be below AAA replacement level catching.
