He's a freaking catcher.  The position with the highest defensive premium and lowest offensive replacement level.  Do you expect him to be a good offensive player?

I expect him not to swing at a horrible pitch and ground into an inning ending double play with a guy on 3rd.

I would have kept Nix in the game, but they were putting in Hairston for a hit and run or steal attempt to get out of a double play to help score a run. Then he is good defensively. I don't like the decision but I understand it.

(Nix should be DH with Hairston in RF...)

Running for Nix accomplished nothing!
Hairston instead of Nix in the 9th :?

Morse has been saving crap throws all over the place.

Morse = Gold Glove. It shouldn't even be a question.

Coffee gets a 1-2-3 inning. Ugh we should be winning this game. Hopefully we can break through this inning. Their bullpen sucks.

The Angels have no chance of winning the AL West because they play all of their home games on this field.

He's been mediocre defensively too for the most part. I expect him to have better ABs and not to chase pitches for the hell of it with runners on base. He is not playing at the level of a starting-caliber catcher.

He may be an okay backup guy down the road but he has not convinced anybody that he can be the starting guy long term.

Then you will often be disappointed (obv!, I know!), because pitch identification (against MLB pitchers) is a ridiculously difficult skill and even the greats often swing at balls.

Their opponent plays their games against the Angels there as well. Your logic is flawed.

spoprtsfan, do you actually think Ramos has been playing at a mediocre level defensively? Serious question.  He has the third-highest WAR on the Nats and it sure isn't because of his bat.  You're being totally unreasonable right now.  If you don't think he's a "starting-caliber" catcher you clearly haven't examined many other teams' catchers...

Matt Stairs, if you don't suck, hit a homer here.

Their opponents also play their home games someplace else.  The Angels are on that field for every home game.

Bobby Cassevah is a bad, bad pitcher. And he is going to shut us down just like he did last inning. Unreal, it's not like we are facing a shutdown dominant set up man.

I wouldn't having the bases loaded 'shut down.'

Your logic is flawed still. You say playing at that park hurts the Angels. Their opponents also play there so both teams are at the same disadvantage. It means during Angels' home games both teams are as likely to play poorly. Think about it for a sec.

When you throw Stairs, Desmond, Bernadina out there, these things happen.

Desmond and Ramos both have horrible pitch recognition skills. Not sure who is worse

I don't haunt a lot of gameday threads and I'm not a high-volume poster, but I have been following this board since day one and joined in the first 5 or 6 months and I can assure you that SF has yet to say a single positive thing about anyone or anything.  It's his way of showing love, love love, baby.

On the bright side, if the ump hadn't messed up that call we're tied right now.
