Why would 1 catcher have zero and the other one 11? McCann obviously is calling more inside pitches.

even if he is calling more inside pitches (we don't know) it's still on the pitcher....not the catcher

It is a team sport and it is called a battery. It may very well be on the pitcher. If the count is 0-2 and the catcher asks for a fastball down the middle...yup...it is the pitchers fault for following the catcher's sign.

yes, it is the pitcher's fault, because he has the final say.

Guarantee the young guys are not calling off the signs very often. And why would they be more wild with 1 C but not the other.. Based on Reb's numbers more inside pitches are being called. Not a bad thing per se - gotta throw inside. Not sure how much our Manager calls the pitches ..
