For the record, I have never seen a catcher not move to catch a ball. I'd be surprised if more than a few people had.
To be clear, I am not talking about a catcher who can't catch, is slow to move or attempts but fails to block a ball. That is going to happen, no doubt.
I'm talking about a catcher who never even flinches toward the ball, and remains motionless while the ball sails on by. If that happens and I take a direct shot, that's the last time that mistake happens and the catcher stays in the game.
That is kinda my point. It almost never happens. To happen twice in the same game isn't coincidence.

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
