Not so untypical, imo. Yeah he can hit...but wtf has that to do with past balls? Typical...everyone else sucked with risp, but AJ will get the rag this inning.Lol.
I love AJ as a person, but man if you can't be good defensively then what do you offer besides "chemistry"?
Yes, but if you watch baseball, you would know why Ellis is playing...and to constantly make a comparison of them is immensely useless.
I get why he's playing but I think he plays too much. I get why he's in today and if Kershaw swears by him than you give CK what he wants.
I personally feel like the "personal catcher" thing is overblown. It sort of always seems to fit that AJ catches him on days when Grandal needs a natural day off or they're facing a lefty. But, I would find it weird that the best pitcher in baseball depends on a specific catcher, especially one that struggles
