roger_that Old-Timey Member Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 Say Nido starts, but there's a crucial two-out AB in the 7th inning, do or die spot, and Buck PHs for him. McCann comes in to play D, but is injured or ejected almost immediately. Who catches?
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 Wild-ass guess? Guillorme. He has a catcher's build and we know he's got good hands. And knowing Buck, whoever is the emergency catcher has already been practicing.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 Yeah, I pretty much settled on Luis as well. I think it was rifle-armed JDD prior to his trade.
Gwreck Old-Timey Member Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 A Daily News article from May indicated that Guillorme had indeed volunteered to serve as emergency catcher if needed.https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-luis-guillorme-super-utility-infielder-20220524-ul7imeqcf5czvdl5pnpmm6dvci-story.htmlhttps://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-luis-guillorme-super-utility-infielder-20220524-ul7imeqcf5czvdl5pnpmm6dvci-story.html

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 Eduardo Escobar caught the ninth inning of a https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SEA/SEA201706060.shtmlblowout game back in 2017, when the Twins put starting catcher Chris Gimenez on the mound.He obviously threw down the right signals, as the Mariners went down in order.
