Um, that's a really tough play to make. The ball was called for UP, not in the dirt.

 

As a major league catcher, you have to stop that. And it's not like it's a rare occurence or anything. That's his 8th passed ball of the year. Keep in mind it's only June 3rd.

The ball didn't hit the ground, and he screwed up the throw that would've beaten him easily.

 

And on top of that, he keeps calling the high strike with Marquis, who's best pitch is the sinker. I really do question his intelligence.

What?! Marquis missed by 3 feet. You stop a 90 mph pitch where you transition your wrist completely the other way.

It's no secret that he isn't a smart player.

Jones you are a joke, have you ever tracked a fly ball before?

 

Guessing from that adventure, I'm going to say no.

Yeah, b/c you never want to change the eye level of a batter. Never.

I know he's not a smart player, but I really do wonder if he'd even be able to crack 100 on an IQ test.

Barrett hasn't looked good behind the plate this year, but I'd be inclined to agree if you were to suggest that many of his defensive miscues have been at least partially due to the pitching staff.
