It’s no longer a platoon situation at catcher. John Buck made his season-high sixth straight start Friday and appears in line to get the majority of playing time over Miguel Olivo for the foreseeable future.
“Game management,” Hillman explained. “I like what he does for us behind the plate as far as helping us read swings and helping the pitchers follow the game plan.
“Miggy will still mix in there, but I just feel that if we’re going to be successful, we need to be as consistent as possible with who is running our game. I believe Buck does a better job at that.”
