And a great catcher can make even a good pitcher better.

A great catcher at calling games with.....say.....the Nationals pitching staff is not going to do much. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 14:09 5
- And a bad catcher can still screw them up. - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:13 4
  - he could also tell the batter what pitch is being thrown, but you're still wrong. - Guy Feb 26, 14:14
  - In no world ever is the catcher more important than the pitcher. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 14:14 2
    - Never said he was. I think they're actually both important. -- nm - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:15 1
      - Yes...you did. Me: Pitcher is the only position close to goalie importance. You. Catcher might be closer. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 14:17
not really. it makes a difference, but not like you're suggesting -- nm - Guy Feb 26, 14:08

- as far as goofy make shit up arguments go, this is a good one. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 14:08 7
  - The pitcher and catcher are a team within the team. - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:11 4
    - This is like saying that Tiger Woods' caddy is why he's won 14 majors. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 14:12
    - the catcher is an important position. More important than the pitcher? Hell no. Most important in baseball? Pass that crack pipe over here. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 14:12 1
      - Didn't say he was more important, but that it might be a better comparison to the goalie. - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:14
    - Which one are you? -- nm - RC's Mom Feb 26, 14:11
  - How can you them apart? (nm) - musubi Feb 26, 14:09 1
    - for this one, at least, it's one that I've literally never heard anyone espouse, ever - Reagen Feb 26, 14:11
