          He's doing that because our lineup is a piece of shit, especially behind Stanton.

          But our lineup was a piece of shit last year, especially behind Stanton, and he didn't put up a Bonds OBP.

          I'll also predict this is a top-3 year in terms of total HR's for Stanton. He's going to have a lot of at-bat's with the game already in hand. Bomb city.

            My not so bold prediction: there won't be 4 separate post game threads made for that series.

                I agree with this.

                At what point will people stop making game threads for every game? Definitely after June?

                    Because maybe he becomes something down the road, so why start his clock?

                      I doubt thats the reason Erick had in his head.

                        That was actually one of the reasons.

                        But also, aside from him (Mathis) being terrible at hitting, I believe I've read several times that Mathis is one of the best pitch framers in the league. Seems like he's regarded as one of the better defensive catchers in the game, and I just feel like he's better suited to be a backup catcher.

                        Skipworth should be getting AB's somewhere even though I think he'll suck, anyway.

                          I would bet it's not very far off. He might also say "He's not ready". But those would be related.

                            I thought I had read somewhere that some sites(like Fielding Bible, I think) ranked Mathis as one of the worst defensive catchers in the game.

                              I've yet to really see how advanced metrics can be applied to catchers.
