Playing Alex Milazzo at catcher won’t get much press, but was genius

I understand Travinski was hurt, so the decision to play Milazzo was an easy one, but it was crucial.
Trav lets too many balls get by him, and in these tight games, we couldn’t afford to give up a run on a passed ball.
Sure Trav hits bombs, but with the wind blowing in, Millazzo was the better choice.

I’m not sure how “hurt” he was.

It was noted on the board several times. We went defense heavy the past games and with the variables and conditions at play, it is the right move.

His defense has been great behind the plate. He blocks everything and frames the ball well. That tag at home was nails. I hope he gets one solid rip at the plate in the final.

The way y’all talk travinski was letting every other ball past him. I don’t remember him being that much of a liability. Hell Milazzo let some get past him tonight but no one is making a post about it.

Milazzo is the most under appreciated player by our fans. Dude is a warrior. His hitting has improved and he is elite defensively.

Milazzo looks about as bad as Thompson at the plate most of the time.. I was worried those two being automatic outs every time through would bite us..

A calming and encouraging presence, impossible to measure what that does for those pitchers.

He also had to execute his end of the bunt play. Morgan made a historic play but Milazzo had to execute to finish it off.

The mouth breathers here won’t give CJJ credit though.

Milazzo also frames the pitch very smoothly. I definitely think it affects how a home plate umpire calls balls and strikes

So when Florida sweeps should we have played Trav this weekend coming?

If Travinski is hurt then he had no choice. If Travinski is not hurt they better get his butt back in the batting order.
