I'm okay with it if there is no base runners.

Totally agree. I was a catcher 55 years ago and was not lazy like today's catchers.

We’ve given up steals and passed balls because of it but don’t worry everything is going great just give it some time.

Neither of those examples did it with runners on base. I we have no one near those mlb catchers either

Tony started it and Santiago took it to an entire different level. Santiago would throw people out from his knees though.

He was Elite! College catchers are not!

me also....what I am seeing is just poor coaching and pure laziness. Costing LSU big time. The first OM game was all on the catcher not blocking a 3rd strike. LSU wins if he just blocks the ball and makes routine throw to first base for the 3rd out.
