Martin has just been bad, really bad that's all. Carruths data after the Dickey game has him as the worst framer in baseball (2nd worst to worst)...and his framing has been bad today as well so I'm sure he will stay there another day.
Watch a Pirates game with Cervelli behind the plate.
Martin can't frame a boderline pitch for a strike right now if his life depended upon it. He didn't get a single call that last inning on the outside edge.
From what I gather the sample size is smaller with the BP data. But it doesn't matter, both tell you the same thing that his framing has been really bad so far this year.
Martin is currently the 2nd worst framing catcher. I really do hope he comes around because this isn't the same player I watched with the Yankees and Pirates defensively.
Cervelli is currently framing the Mona Lisa. Guy is a beast.
Gibbons and AA will start feeling the heat from the media if this continues for another week.
Gibbons will be fired before June. Hale takes over. AA is fired at the end of season.
I had some black s*** in my eye from the new turf
Henry Blanco wasn't catching
If the dome was open the wind would have kept those balls in
The ump was incompetent
Martin can't frame
It's not my fault.
