Why do our catchers drop the ball so much?

Not sure but Travinski has been having a nightmare behind the plate recently. Couldn't catch a cold

KP made the comment our catcher was definitely making it difficult for our pitchers. He drops several a game. Did last year also.

Why do LSU fans complain about everything?

our catchers


Its not all our catchers, its just Travinski, and he's been doing that every year, which is why you have a defensive replacement in Milazzo, and a better all around catcher in Neal, but you can't deny Hayden's hitting.

It’s that blonde in the bleachers.

The ball is spinning really fast and doing all sorts of weird shite. It’s not an easy job playing the catcher position.

Travinski is the weakest Catcher of the 3. He just isn’t a great receiver which will cost you some strikes here and there due to poor framing.

He has improved over his defense over last year though. He dropped a lot more than he has so far this season. Milazzo is a really good catcher who will steal some strikes with his framing.

Well there is a reason Trav was replaced at Omaha and suddenly out pitchers and defense improved

Honestly, I think they minimize the importance of bull pen time.

I heard there were volunteer bull pen catchers or something like that. Great but if you’re catching a game, you have to know the subtleties of every pitcher.

Travinski looks lazy behind the plate.

I wish Travinski would try to frame the ball a little better. Especially when we have umpires like last night.
