Hutchison is so f***ing slow to the plate, people are unfairly blaming Thole

Ya it is mainly Hutch's fault. When Yonder Alonso can steal off you it's not a good sign.

Yeah man, they're stealing off Hutch.

He is. But those throws have been rainbows and not in a good location on the bag.

[West Texas Forever]

What's wrong with Martin today?

 

Neck.

[burlingtonbandit]

Ya blame hutch for that Derp throw.

 

Hutch is so slow to the plate that its easy for guys to steal off him. Martin is so good that it masked it.

[nmrch]

Thole. FFS.

 

 

Thole f***ing blows

 

Lol Thole blows so much

 

I have a better arm than Thole. Just bad.

 

easy stolen bases against Thole, every singles are doubles

 

You guys do know that it's the pitcher that matters more when it comes to preventing stolen bases? Hutch is just too damn slow to the plate and he doesn't have a good pickoff move that holds runners close to the plate.

 

Think about why Dickey is so good at preventing SB's when pitching to the same catcher

It was Yonder f***ing Alonso

[TheHurl]

Tholes first caught stealing ever

 

he led the majors in CS% (44%) his rookie year.

That doesn't change that fact that Thole has almost thrown into CF twice in a row.

[Angrioter]

What happened with Martin today?

[dineke]

Barney > goins

[Rusty_Savage]

he led the majors in CS% (44%) his rookie year.

 

He's been pretty bad since he's been here

[West Texas Forever]

Neck.

Nice that Barney got a hit to get the Thole AB out of the way. With the top of the order up next they should be able to get something going. This pitcher looks terrible.

[nmrch]

R. A Dickey has one of the lowest stolen bases allowed rates in baseball history and he mostly pitches to Thole. I'll let you guys figure why Hutch oth struggles with the same catcher

[el duque]

too many fast balls in the middle

[West Texas Forever]

There is the good slider.

[Dylan]

Nice slider

[THANOS]

Nice strikeout there but I truly hate Hutch working in the middle of the strikezone, it's so damn risky.

[BigCecil]

Hutch is an enigma. He can have such good stuff.

[Cyborg]

Hutch <3

[dineke]

Too many strikeouts for Pete walkers liking

[THANOS]

Hutch is an enigma. He can have such good stuff.

 

Sure but tossing fastballs in the middle of the strikezone is too damn risky to avoid being crushed at any moment.

[Praxis]

Josh Thole is 38 out of 40 active catchers in CS % at 24%.

[Atothe]

Hutch's slider looking reborn

[nmrch]

Hutch is an enigma. He can have such good stuff.

 

He's fine when he doesn't have runners on base, everything falls apart when someone gets on. He's one of the clear exceptions to DIPS in baseball

[Spanky99]

You've explained it well enough, don't worry, mate.

When I played in College guys were throwing 86mph with some junk too, I wonder how much harder a 96mph pitch is if you knew it was coming, maybe 1 out of 10 times I could hit it.

[Angrioter]

Barney is a good bench guy. Catch the ball at 2B, 3B, SS, and hit the ball better than a pitcher (Pitcher bat > Goins)
