July 14, 200719 yr Does anyone have the win-loss of when treanor starts vs. when Olivo start? From What ive seen, looks like its time to give Matt his big break
July 14, 200719 yr Well Matt can't hit his way out of a paper bag but at this point, I can't take the dropped Olivo balls anymore. Its just gotten out of hand. Its almost like there is a hole in the web of his glove. I sit there and shake my head at the TV and want to vomit. Tonight was the final straw for me.

July 14, 200719 yr Just found this... kind of funny Matt Treanor against the AL for 06 / 07 .433 / .441 / 1447 It's only like 28 AB's, but whatever
July 14, 200719 yr at this point treanor can definitely hit his way out of a paper bag, he is now hitting in the .290s and is vastly superior in the field to olivo, who has been worse than garbage unless he's facing bob wickman most of all, olivo continues to be a catcher who simply cannot catch, it seems like he has passed balls/misplays every game, treanor deserves a chance after tonight, he can't be much worse
July 14, 200719 yr Well Matt can't hit his way out of a paper bag Isn't he hitting upwards of .280? .288.
July 14, 200719 yr It's at the point where offense can't/shouldn't even enter the discussion. Olivo's probably costing us 3-4 runs a week with his glove.
July 14, 200719 yr at what point is enough enough? you build your team around pitiching and defense. olivo can't defend and does not help his pitchers out at all.
July 14, 200719 yr I agree Olivo was terrible last night, but Dontrelle's wildness certainly didn't help. He was crossed up on quite a few occasions.
July 14, 200719 yr Look at any great starting staffs, ONE GREAT CATCHER! Boston with V-tek Detriot with Pudge I am dumbfounded with Padres with them having 3 different starting catchers this year. But mostly Bard Dodgers with Martin
July 14, 200719 yr Look at any great starting staffs, ONE GREAT CATCHER! Boston with V-tek Detriot with Pudge I am dumbfounded with Padres with them having 3 different starting catchers this year. But mostly Bard Dodgers with Martin Catcher position is overrated. Pitching coach almost always calls the pitches. A great catcher (in terms of catch and throw) makes a good pitching staff really good since he can shut down the running game, pick runners off, not allow balls to get to the backstop, etc. However, benching Olivo isn't going to make our pitching improve, just our defense. What I mean is Dontrelle won't magically turn into a 20 game winner again, but rather we'll just win most of the games in which we score 10 runs.

You can say it doesn't make a difference, but numbers are interesting. Oh, it makes me wonder. Oh, it really makes me wonder. [/broken record]
July 14, 200719 yr Miguel Olivo is the reason Dontrelle Willis has no control. I get it. Fact remains that, not just with Dontrelle, everyone's numbers are up compared to their norm with Olivo behind the plate. So no, I don't believe that a catcher doesn't have an impact on how well a pitcher produces.
July 15, 200719 yr Their norm? None of these pitchers has pitched to anybody but Olivo. Trelle is the only starter we have (aside from Kim, who Olivo doesn't catch) that had a significant number of non-Olivo innings, and many of them were in his ridiculous (and probably flukey) 2005, so his numbers are skewed. Take out what he did in 05 and his numbers with and without Olivo probably look similar.
July 15, 200719 yr Treanor is definitely more liked as a reciever by several members of the staff. If only he could hit as well as some of the pitchers, he might get more action.
July 15, 200719 yr Still a HUGE difference between the two, actually. His 2005 numbers don't have that big impact on his career numbers, it was only 223 innings. And it's not like Olivo is a sole proprietor.
July 15, 200719 yr I was rooting for Treanor to get the job before it was cool. ive been a big trean fan for a while now...and misty mae only has little to do with it

A sample size that big certainly makes you have to think Treanor, Lod Duca, and Pudge made a difference. Treanor has had some great catchers to learn from, and he is obviously very good. I torn on this, because I don't want to give Matt a chance, have him fail miserably offensively, and have it cost us. But at the same time... that man deserves it.
