As Blake has mentioned below, the Giants catcher and former rookie of the year is out for the whole season due to his injury. So, will Giants get a new catcher or will they stay with their back up pitcher Eli Whiteside. Bruce Bochy has decided to give Whiteside and opportunity and will not get a new catcher. Yes, the fans might not be very happy because as we have seen, Whiteside is not the best hitter. It is hard to see our catcher going 1-4 or 0-4 through the game, not helping get runs up on the board. He might not be the best batter but we need to think about his job, which is catching. We need to remember last year when he caught Jonathan Sanchez's no hitter. Whiteside has done a good job at catching and it is only fair to give him the opportunity to be the Giants new daily catcher. Hopefully, hit hitting will improve as the season continues. Giants wont be getting Posey back until next year so for the remaining of time we need to trust that Whitey, as Bochy calls him, will get the job done. Fans are not currently happy with Bochy's decision, they have even made a video about it http://youtu.be/ro109khfgWw, but they need to adapt to this new decision and support Whitey.
