Banged up, bats gone cold, and Milazzo is great behind the plate.

Wind blowing in
Defensive catcher is most important with small ball

Milazzo currently has a higher CWS avg by whatever his batting avg is because Trav’s is 0.

Milazzo stops runners advancing & Trav has allowed runs on pass balls.

Travinski is great but with runs being more difficult to come by & Johnny whole staff on the mound this move made sense today.

Wind blowing in and is a power hitter, hasn’t been hitting, average catcher to a top tier defensive catcher in Milazzo.

Travinski had a nice second half of the year, but the fact remains that he is a terrible defensive catcher; it is that simple.

You don’t see the difference behind the plate? Travenski isn’t hitting so he’s a liability .

Banged up. If the wind changes you put him back in the lineup well rested.

His last ab in the 1st WF game, it appeared to me that he was grimacing when running to 1b. He was replaced the following 1/2 in.

I didn’t think much into it at the time bc Milazzo to play defense at the end of the game is normal. Travinski not playing B2B especially when there were some spots he could have PH (not just for Milazzo) tells me he is hurting. Really sucks that it appears Neal is unavailable bc you want to be able to PH Milazzo if the situation arises late in a gane.

LSU is winning and you are whining. Seems appropriate for an LSU fan.

Because milazzo is light years better than travinski behind the plate.. travinski has more passed balls than anyone I have ever seen and you can’t argue his bat when his average in the CWS is like .000. Milazzo steals you strike and can knock down balls in the dirt.. I don’t get how you people can’t see this… the wind at Schwab is not in travinskis favor

My favorite part of this thread was how the OP’s question was answered 17 times, the same exact way, but in slightly different words

Do people not read the responses before responding?

For some reason, I trust J more than I trust fans.
