rferry Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 You catch the ball, and if you can't you keep it in front or near by. I'm sick and tired of hearing 'ball skips past LoDuca' or seeing it with my own eyes. His offense more than makes up though. :confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I got an idea. You go out there and catch and tell us how easy it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureGM Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I don't see what's wrong with his offense, he's batting over .300. He's also one of our best clutch hitters, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildMarlinMan2003 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Who cares....LoDuca is hitting .300 and he didn't lose this game. Villone and Jack did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinsFan253 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 People always say things like, "Let's see you do better", but we aren't professional baseball players so we naturally can't be expected to do better. People always use this excuse in defense of sports players, but why not other jobs? When people complain about Bill Gates's mistakes, do we say, "Let's see you do better"? I certainly never hear anyone say that in defense of our presidents. :mischief2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonDigital Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 no need to place blame on people for losses. duca did not lose last nights game. jack did with his questionable bullpen moves. duca is a top 5 catcher in the NL and we should be lucky to have him compared to teams like the d-backs who have Koy Hill shame on you. duca is a true asset for the fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofthefish Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 If you look at one game or one play over the course of a season there would be plenty of reasons to complain about every player. LoDuca overall is one of the better catchers in the NL, not the best but one of the best. He more than compensates with his bat, his attitude and intensity for any errors or passed balls. If catching was so easy Carlos Delgado would still be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins2003 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I already said in another thread that I missed the last few innings so obviously I missed something with LoDuca that has some people upset. Someone care to explain what happened that led to these anti-LoDuca comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
