I was hoping that Garza would figure things out and get it turned around. I see he went 0-4 at the place, any balls hit hard? Also, did he throw anyone out? Look comfortable behind the plate?

I can’t believe LSU can’t recruit a decent catcher.

Florida didn’t have a merry go round on the bases. He handled Cole Henry well, recieved the ball well, and is at least a threat to get a hit at the plate.

Although he does strike out a lot. I like his potential better than Mathis with the stick, I think he just needs a lot more at bats against quality pitching.

This comes from A TON of experience with catchers including my son!

I was really interested in your exact question. Garza looked very comfortable behind the plate last night where in other games he didn’t. He looked relaxed and that made his movements behind the plate look smooth which helped his framing tremendously!!! As stated didn’t see him have to worry about runners which affects those two points I just highlighted! And also, and this is key, having Henry on the mound can make a catcher look GREAT!!!

So to be honest i really liked what I saw with Garza’s behind the plate last night but how much of it was due to Henry on the mound? I assume he will start today so I think some of those questions will be answered today! But if he does continue to play behind the plate like he did last night, then he will be a beast!!! Which is assuming his hitting comes around!

Garza looks like a player. Hopefully he continues to improve. Finally got his first HR. Expect more soon.
