OPS+, wRC+... take your pick.
If HRs were the end all measure of ones ability at the plate then Kyle Schwarber had a great year last season. [Reply]

I would say 4th.
1) Posey
2) Contreras
3) Realmuto
4) Molina
And thats if he doesnt take a sharp nose dive because there are catchers out there that have put up comparable offensive numbers with slightly worse defense in recent years like Francisco Cervelli, though he's not managed to stay on the field and Molina has like 1000 more innings since Cervelli has been a Pirate. Austin Barnes appears to be a good catcher as well but I have no clue what the **** the Dodgers are trying to pull over there with Grandal. [Reply]

I'm out in left field by the foul pole and the sun has been directly overhead all game. Actually not too bad. The concourses are freezing cold with the wind blowing thru. I'm just in a t shirt and thermal undershirt. [Reply]

Carp blows an easy out. Then Molina decides to make a point and have Hicks throw sliders the whole at bat. Ends up walking the guy. I don’t understand why you can’t make your point another day. It’s cold as hell. Why not just let him throw that 100 mph fastball in on their hands? [Reply]

yeah I’m sure the locker room needs more fun personalities. The locker room sucked last season. Players after the season admitted to clicks within the team.
I’m sure that the Bible study, chess playing and the everything is so deadly serious attitude of the manager doesn’t go over well with the younger players. [Reply]
