Bryce Eldridge hits his first homer, but boo birds emerge in Giants' 13-3 loss
SAN FRANCISCO — Giants president Buster Posey understood the value that catcher Patrick Bailey created through framing pitches on the periphery of the strike zone. But Posey also valued the optics.He didn’t like the times when Bailey was so determined to pull a pitch into the zone that it ended up ticking off his glove for a passed ball. Posey wasn’t OK with those balls to the backstop, even if the analytics would justify them as part of doing business. A couple of springs ago, Posey relayed the message to Bailey: Framing is important, but so is being a consistently clean receiver. The optics mattered as much, if not more, than the value creation.You have to wonder: What does Posey think of the optics now?Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
