Greinke and Catchers

[Dback Jon]

Pulled this off the interwebs...

Greinke as a Dback:

367.1 ip, 130 ER 3.19 ERA with Mathis
205 ip, 100 er 4.39 ERA without Mathis


For his career he's had 8 catchers where he's thrown to them 3 or fewer games.....
those 8 combined stats- 48 er in 49.2 ip. 8.70 ERA
all the other catchers he's thrown to- 3.30 ERA. With only 4 of his regular catchers over a 4 ERA even.

Woof!

On a serious note witnessing Grienke and JRM not on the same page was maddening. I suspect we are going to have a turnstile of catchers when Grienke is pitching.

I should have posted this here instead of the Game #2 thread . . . . .

I appreciate the chemistry between a pitcher and catcher. But a star pitcher who comes apart when he doesn't have his designated catcher is not a star pitcher. C'mon, Robbie. Show 'em who's our #1.

But then, Koch gave up four HR's as did Greinke. So John Ryan Murphy's pitchers gave up 8 homer runs in the game. How much of the problem is he? Torey has a lot of work to do.
