Here’s what people have been saying about Murphy:
Mark Bowman (during Monday’s game): “Every pitch matters. Sean Murphy didn’t challenge this 3-2 pitch that could have resulted in a strike-em-out, throw-em out double play. Had the inning-ending DP been recorded the Mets would have scored just one run in what became a five-run first”
@MHIIisKing: “The amount of Braves fans who hate on Sean Murphy is INSANE TO ME. The dude is consistently a top 5 defensive catcher in the game”
@bnachop: “Why is Jim Jarvis (70 OPS+) getting more starts than Lane Thomas (103 OPS+) or Sean Murphy?”
@BigWilks23: “So Jim Jarvis can continue to his rampage of nothingness but Murphy starts every 3rd day? This is getting stupid.”
