I expect a foul every now and again but the battery for this team never was on the same page, catcher setup out pitch is in, 60 foot fastballs, that bubba couldn’t/didn’t block and lots of hit flesh

Turned into a long painful game

Grab the catcher by his protector and make him block the ball. I do high school and college catchers like that. I just dont trust them.
