When has Scioscia ever put a catcher in the dog house?

In before Napoli

Does Cleveland rest their starters vs twins? Isn't that the final series of season?

Who would you rather have behind the plate? 

For years people bitched about Scioscia not letting his best catcher more...

I don't have a problem with Maldonado playing the majority of the games. He's the best option on the roster, no doubt. But IMO he's also clearly out of gas and should have been given more days off along the way. I don't think it's a stretch to say Perez could handle 45 games, giving Maldonado an extra 25-30 days off

No way.  They are playing for home field advantage through the playoffs and WS.

[Jwhitt33]

Fastballs down Broadway on pitchers count again.

[Docwaukee]

Paredes is faster than everyone on this board.  

[Waybackman]

Lindor is lucky he didn't collide with Paredes. Could have been a career ender.

Not only has Perez been in Mike's dog house all season, the dog house was located in SLC for most of the season.

Perez has about 15 games with the Halos this year, if that.

Graterol has played about 30 or 40 games and Maldonado has played something like 130/ 140.

Maldonado has 14 HRs - has shown some pop and actually hit better than expected earlier in the season.

Now it's the dog days (speaking of dog houses) for especially catchers and his offense has tailed off significantly the second half.

As for Perez, he did something behind the plate that Mike S. didn't like back in April and was on the next plane to SLC not be seen again until September -- he may have been called up when Maldonado or Graterol were on the DL for a short stint.........but thinking back -- I knew Perez was in real trouble (dog house trouble) when I think one of our catchers went on the DL, and the Halos called up the guy from AA instead of Perez.  Think I got that right.

Trevor Bauer turned a baseball into Tim Kurkjian tonight.

[Jwhitt33]

Looks like Bud will be on tap in 9th if we somehow take lead.

Do you know what he did? 

[disarcina]

Not sure, but you might ask Mike Napoli that question.

[Jwhitt33]

Of course

[milotiger]

Mike making the right moves again! jfc that guy is terrible.

[Angelsfirst]

F+#k you Ramirez

[HeavenlyHalos]

Should have walked him.

 

-Monday Morning douchebag

[fan_since79]

Ramirez is the kind of hitter that we could use a lot more of.

Perez? He wasn't even the backup 

 

[well_red]

fucking 1 step forward 1 step backward in every aspect of the game

[Docwaukee]

this fukkin' team.  damn.  they just can't get the little shit done.  unreal.  

[disarcina]

I don't know what he (Perez) did, but seem to recall Perez made some miscue, mental/ physical behind the plate. Scioscia was griping about it and all of sudden, Perez was suddenly a starting catcher -- in Salt Lake City.

[nando714]

Great teams find a way to win , Ramirez just delivered that big insurance run

 

[Jwhitt33]

Parker and petit give up 3 runs. Nobody is doing jack shit lately.

[VariousCrap]

That sucked.  Parker was making killer pitches.  Ugh.
