Bob already said it(though I said it first), but that was a great play by Soto, never hesitated, went right after the ball and made a great throw. Kendall probably does the same thing chasing after it right away, but he doesn't get the throw I'm thinking.

 

Nice inning Carlos.

 

Way to criticize a guy based on a hypothetical situation. That's fair.

 

He didn't criticize him; he just stated facts.

 

Fact: Kendall's arm is crap.

 

 

Based on that, it's reasonable to infer that he may not have been able to make that throw.

 

Why trash Kendall's arm because of a play Soto makes? Does that make any sense?

 

Are you being serious?

 

The catcher who is currently playing makes a great play, A poster comments that the teams catcher who would regularly be playing may likely not be able to make that same play.

 

It wasn't really off topic.

 

Actually it was. All you guys who are all over Soto use anything you can trash Kendall. The fact is, we have no idea how that play would've been different had Kendall been playing. Maybe it wouldn't have gotten through him in the first place. It's completely unfair to criticize players based on plays that other guys make.

 

kendall may or may not have made trhat play, but i think it's fair, based on statistical info, to say that he wouldn't have.

To show it was an exceptional play that the normal catcher doesn't make? I don't understand why this is such an issue.

 

It was a very good play by Soto, and you should have just left it at that. Bringing Kendall up in regards to that play makes zero sense.

No it's not, thats an utterly ridiculous thing to say. How the hell do you think a determination is (or should be) made between which players play, and which players sit. Discussions exactly like this one "Player A can do this. Player B would most likely, base on what we have seen of him, be incapable of doing this."

This is madness, I made the comment that Soto has a stronger, more accurate arm than Kendall. These are facts. When an OF soaps up a flyball and I mention that Jacque woulda caught that, would you jump down my throat for that?
