call me crazy, but...

why do I get a weird sinking feeling when a relief pitcher comes to pitch and Molina is the catcher?

I felt like Frankie was intimidated by the Yanks, intimidated into throwing only fastballs at first. Iit's weird it almost seems like he doesn't make his pitchers feel comfortable, like there is something bothering one of the two of them.

I never get that sinking feeling the few times Taylor is the catcher, don't have a clue why.

I don't think you're crazy, OC. I get that same feeling. Don't know why.

Good observation... I have no answers but it seemed clear to me Frankie was not fully himself last night with Molina. He was throwing high and gave ARod a pitch on a silver platter that he belted and tied the game. I was very nervous Frankie was going to do it again before the game ended.

Same feeling. Molina wasn't in the game either. It was a difficult game to catch toward the end. What about our outfielders trying to catch going backwards...what happened?
