Great example on importance of serving others in leadership role. One skill lacking many catchers on all levels is how to excel in servant leadership. Roberts shows w/between inning talk and post game comments. Importance of being in sync w/P and serving the P. Not easy and takes training/reminders/communication. Being on same page in P calling. Body language when it goes wrong. Not letting poor AB’s carry over to field. Lot of heat on Dalton Rushing. Has caught 74 big league games. Not a full time C in minor leagues. All C’s have been in that spot. Frustrated with self because of hitting, miss a pitch, P not throwing K’s, ect. we react. It happens. Key is awareness of it and limiting those times!

Many coaches would prefer on this play to be in front of plate. Especially with ball beating R to the plate and having some time. Sometimes C’s get caught starting in wrong spot and the drop step takes us out of position. He may have also recognized the hop and believed to drop step, gave him best chance to handle throw, and still come back to plate for tag. C’s need to train both techniques of tag plays. Chance here to block plate off from R I believe
