[John Denton] Jack Flaherty on him pushing for Willson Contreras to return to catching duties on Monday: “What was said a few weeks ago was out of frustration & was more about myself in terms of executing pitches & making pitches and that’s something I haven’t done.

[More Flaherty: “Whoever is behind the plate isn’t going to change that. It’s on me to execute. I love having (Contreras) back there & he gives you confidence with that competitiveness he has. I’m looking forward to it, it’ll be fun & he & I attacked Milwaukee before.”](https://twitter.com/johndenton555/status/1657454936357994498?s=46&t=Xn0juU2C4hEaElfmeGb4jQ)
The art of backtracking.
did flaherty publicly state it was contreras fault? i don’t recall him saying that
It’s bad to blame the catcher for your inability to play like you want to. The actual issue, though, is the organization *listened to the diva pitcher throwing a fit* instead of seeing that for what it was and handling it internally. That’s embarrassing.
WTF 😂
Uh huh. Suuuuure
