Aggressive Omar

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, I'm a member (and, as such, excited (in a deptessing sense) to think a National League team my actually be challenging the Mets noiton that Piazza can't catch anymore. (I'm surmising there. It's perfectly reasonable to assume that the Mets just weren't offering Piazza enough to find out, but perhaps offered him no less than the Pads are now offering.)

I don't think, however, that the packster was merely talking about "defense" in terms of throwing our runners (TOR). Nor Vic, who had a seeming different opinion of LoDuca's LoDefense. But, rather, I think they both were offering a more holistic view — throwing, yes, but also gamecalling, plate-blocking, pop-gobbling, bunt-chasing, pitch-framing, ump-baiting, field-leadership — the whole damn bit.

I've got to get my own argument here. I can't carry packy's forever. And I only really give any credence to this one of his three main points.

(On edit: Those were Chuck's points. I'm not carrying packy's argument. He picked up Chuck's and dropped it, and now I've got it. Oh, woe.)
