Silas Ardoin appreciation

[Chop]

The fielding and throwing of catcher Silas Ardoin stood in stark contrast to the opponent's catching today vs. Tennessee, and was one of the key factors in our victory. Ardoin's bat has also been solid the last half of the year and into the playoffs. Catchers are often overlooked. He deserves lots of credit for the success of this team.

And (from what I've seen) most red-blooded young men from Louisiana with French surnames are going to do some of this, from time-to-time.

Phenomenal play behind the plate all year.

He's been the underrated gem of this bunch. The glue that holds this team together.

I think it may be the most important position in baseball other than the pitcher on that particular day. We've had some great ones just in the past 20 years: Curtis Thigpen, Taylor Teagarden, Cameron Rupp, Tres Barrera, to name a few.

^No question - that double play was the key to the victory.
