Sean Manaea, by A’s catcher:
Matt McBride: 4.05 ERA, .506 OPS against.
Josh Phegley: 2.61 ERA, .680 OPS against.
Stephen Vogt: 8.42 ERA, 1.001 OPS against.
Vogt is seriously awful at catching. I have never seen such horrendous gamecalling in all my life. He’s a good hitter though, so he needs to go back to LF, where he was before the A’s grabbed him. He calls so many challenge pitches to good hitters when the bases are empty, that’s why the A’s have given up so many solo home runs ever since he took over at C. It’s such a ridiculous call, you don’t give MVP-types anything to hit, ever. Yet the A’s often do when Vogt’s behind the plate.

He’s looked horribly sluggish this year behind the plate, I’d rather see him at 1B and have them bring up either McBride or Maxwell

I have never seen a catcher not catch a baseball as often as he does. It’s like he wants to get hit with the ball and sometimes even the bat. He’s not a smart guy, we’ve seen him on tv enough to know this. But he can hit, if he plays LF or 1B he’s a quality ballplayer. I wish the A’s would just get players who are playing the position they’re supposed to be, like Vogt should not be a C and Semien should not be a SS, but if they’re in LF and 1B the lineup is actually even better than it is currently.
