    He saw the ridiculous misunderstanding of baseball knowledge on the first pitch....that’s not hindsight, that’s current info

    Ervin seems to be swinging for HRs like everybody else does of late.

    Is Casali repeating the same pitch in order to get him to throw something?

    That's foresight, not hindsight. If you aren't certain that the batter is smarter than this then he doesn't get the greenlight. It's obvious Ervin isn't smart enough to have earned the greenlight.

    Not a big fan of personal catchers but Casali and Bauer aren’t on same page at all

    Definitely an effect

    Bauer is crap.

    Sounds to me like a lack of aggressive managing and giving away an opportunity.
    You are assuming way too much in this whole scenario.

    Ervin has a .376 OBP and a lifetime .340. He’s normally had a solid walk rate, although less this year. He gets on base fairly often. That was the “current info.” Anybody can swing at a bad pitch.
