Johnny Bench is the greatest defensive catcher of all.
He's the greatest catcher ever.
He's the greatest defensive catcher ever.
But Cal Raleigh is really good.
And Dan, not to get too inside baseball here, but we've changed the way that catchers are supposed to catch.
They're catching on one leg now instead of being on two.
And blocking a ball and receiving a ball is harder, I believe, than it's ever been.
And he still didn't have a pass ball this year in a season in which he hit 60 home runs.
It's stunning.
I don't think you do.
Now, the guy I spoke to is a little bit biased because he's a member of the Dodgers.
But when I called him before I started to do the playoffs this year, I did the Reds and the Dodgers on the radio for ESPN.
When I called this guy and said, tell me about your team, he said, we have the greatest roster in the history of baseball.
That's what he said.
And I'm not sure I believed it at the time, but the more you look at it, the Dodgers roster is ridiculously good, which, you know, you can do that when you spend this kind of money.
Their starting pitching right now is so preposterously overpowering.
I don't know how anybody gets a hit off of them.
Blake Snell just finished.
Two straight starts in which he pitched six innings and allowed one hit or less.
No pitcher's ever done that twice in their postseason career.
