You know what? He's not wrong. I remember when Bengie Molina took Buster under his wing. Buster really accelerated once he had that support. it's really a shame that Buster couldn't/wouldn't/didn't support Joey Bart in that same way.
What are you talking about. He and his wife adopted two babies that were prematurely born. He chose his family. How terrible. I guarantee you that Buster when he comes back will mentor Bart and/or Bailey.
A lot of chatter for an over-the-hill, slappy-hitting catcher. [And do the Giants really want two DP machines in the lineup in Flores and Posey?]
Never the same since the collision at home plate. Understandable. Still a shame, though.
What's Vogt doing?
He was MVP and league batting champ in ‘12. After the collision. Look at his lifetime numbers. You are dead wrong. Again.

He had surgery for hip impingement in Aug 18. Had you watched that year and paid attention you’d have noticed around May that he couldn’t turn on the ball. All hands. Should have been shut down way earlier. Might have come back stronger in ‘19. Hes the face of three world championships. Just a slapsy hitting guy since that injury in ‘11. Vogt is in Arizona. Hit .167 with 1 HR this year.
