The backup catcher argument is not worth having right now
It happened again.
Garrett Stubbs, you brought so many vibes in 2022 and 2023, but … Rafael Marchán absolutely cannot go to Triple A when J.T. Realmuto comes back. #Phillies
— Matt Rappa (@mattrappasports) July 9, 2024 Again:
Rafael Marchan needs to be the backup C. Stubbs brings nothing to this lineup that Marchan doesn’t match, if not (in most cases) exceeds.
— Ryan Schwartz (@Ryan_Schwartz07) July 10, 2024 Defending Stubbs over Marchan for any other reason than Marchan can play every day in AAA is psychotic. One of them is a good hitter from both sides and has a rocket arm… the other opened his fat mouth after game 5 in the NLCS and hits .206. Nonsense
