Jerry Grote was one of the best defensive catchers of all time. Not all round that would be Johnny Bench. But Grote could handle a pitching staff. We got him at just the right time. He was the catcher that brought Seaver, Koosman, Ryan, and Gentry along and helped turn them from throwers into pitchers. By the way his caught stealing percentage in 1969 was 56%. Unheard of by today's standards.
The Dodgers Series
It's not over till it's over. I hope. Friday night Thor was awful, Saturday Jacob was great, Sunday the Dodgers did to us what great teams do; they win those one run ballgames. Wheeler also pitched great on Sunday as well. Our bullpen continues to suck.
