I don't mind Leon or Vasquez catching IF Devers is not in the game too. The other guys can cover for the fact that those two are black holes. But Swihart hits better and runs better than both of them-and his defense is acceptable too.
I think that the results a pitcher gets are 99% on the pitcher, not the catcher. Swihart is a fine choice as a catcher-he has earned a job. We do need a second catcher; that would be Leon.
Like I said, if Leon is that great a catcher and was responsible for the low ERAs of our SPs then our RPs should also get the same benefit.
They aren't.
Jacko is right about Kelly. He has sucked for a very long time. Since June 1 his ERA is nearly 6 (5.97) and his OPSa is nearly .800 (.797). He should not be on the playoff roster. He has worked himself out of a job IMO.
