Shea Langeliers after 11 games in AAA ball for Oakland-- 3 HRs so far and .308/.413/.615/1.028
He's thrown out 3 base stealers out of 7 attempts so far. He's already thrown out more runners than d'Arnaud has in his entire career.
He did not get much of a look with them in spring training, I was surprised.
So far they are basically using........Sean Murphy and.......................Christian Bethancourt as their catcher. WAT?
Langeliers should be along sometime soon.
Pache hit his second HR of the year on Thursday. He is wowing them out there with his defense already.
The curse of Freddie Freeman. I always thought Langaliers should have been untouchable. He might be the best catcher in the game in a couple of years, or at least one of them. I feel pretty confident that Olson has a really good chance of being better than Freddie the next six years or so. But it seems like what we really have to look at is Freddie, Langeliers and Pache (which we could have had) or Olson plus Rosario. And whatever we can sign in Eddie’s place when Rosario’s contract is up. I feel like Pache will be a .700 to .750 OPS guy and be the best defensive OFer in baseball, and that Langeliers has a super high ceiling. It will be interesting to see how he does over the years, but I have days where I still can’t believe he’s gone, I really wanted to keep him. I mean a LOT. Langeliers is the variable that could make us really hate this whole thing in the long run.

Yeah, the Olson for Freddie thing doesn't bother me that much. Hell, the Pache thing doesn't bother me that much either, but guys like Langaliers are RARE. I guess the bright side is that nobody steals bases any more, so the ability to stop the running game isn't as important as it used to be. Still, an elite defensive catcher that can hit isn't something you find very often.

We don't like catchers

I'm sure the that somewhere in the deepest darkest chasm of our organizational mission statement manual it is written that it is MANDATORY that at the catching position we have only players who have been mediocre at best offensively throughout their career and couldn't throw out Brian Snitker's grandmother trying to steal a base.

We don't steal therefore we don't see stealing as anything to be concerned about.
Plus we got 1 solid offensive year from D'Naud. Obviously that can be repeated.

Base stealing is going to come back around sooner than later

Snitker doesn't think base stealing and he managed us to a championship.
Sorry, but

Yes he has... but he's not here using naughty words in front of Snit's grandkids, so there's that...

MLB suspends Trevor Bauer for 2 years
No allowance for time server, so it'll be like 19 games into 2024 before he can play again pending appeal.

A case based on allegations, after they just let Ozuna off the hook despite video proof and cop testimony. I guess they figure they can gain points by such a grand gesture at least.

Way over the top punishment based on allegations. Not that I want to defend Bauer but ....... and no credit for time served? That will go to court I think
