are watching the game? The Astros GM has no back up catchers. Why?

Catchers defense, knowledge of pitchers, ability to throw out runners are primary. Hitting is secondary. Seven hitters need to step up. Have you ever received the ML pitcher in the bull pen or fielded the ML hitters ground ball. It is a different game. Your reflex action need to increase 50%.

A sign of analytics going too far (and replacing good common sense) is the Astros batting starting pitcher Zach Grienke in the 8 hole in a must win World Series game. There is no world where that makes sense. Front office decisions like this that are being forced down a manager’s throat are driving good baseball men out of the game. I’m looking forward to seeing spineless Rob Manfred present a World Series trophy to the Braves after woking them out of hosting the All Star game.

Even dumber would be to use Grienke as a pinch hitter....
