Pitch Blocking and Rants
Briefly

"Our catchers, using the one-knee style this season, have had 25 wild pitches against. One would imagine that the new style is causing wild-pitch numbers to soar."
"It would be hard to infer from that list that the one-knee style is causing the team to have many more wild pitches. Just the numbers don't prove that the one-knee style is causing a drop in wild pitches."
"When Brian Serven didn't corral a wild pitch, we had multiple rants about catchers on one knee, yet the data isn’t being checked thoroughly by commentators."
"Mistakes happen, yet it seems like the catchers’ new style gets the blame without any statistical evidence supporting these rants from commentators."
