Its sad when we are happy to have Bard as our catcher
But at least Bard is minimally competent.

If I could hate him anymore this would do it
Alas, I can’t

At least Bard has relegated him to backup/Felix duties?

Funny stuff Jeff!
I was surprised you hadn’t been disrespected yet Matthew, gotta keep the tradition.
David Eckstein is gonna fuck you up, Niehaus. - Jeff
Yes.
This is just the most hilarious thing ever.
On another note, while I hate Rob, it probably isn't quite fair to attribute all of the wild pitches to him.

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.
Not all wild pitches are the fault of the catcher
but not all hits are the fault of the hitter.

I'm trying not to overreact, but...
Is it possible that this organization simply isn’t as good at evaluating talent as we thought?
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.
Certain things Rob Johnson will never have:
A fish
A cold
A plane
A tiger by its toe

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.

So in other words...
Better than Moore 193/220/298 and slightly worse than Johnson 180/311/311. GAWD our catching sucks big time.
Karma police, arrest this man.
