The backup catcher argument is not worth having right now

It happened again.

Garrett Stubbs, you brought so many vibes in 2022 and 2023, but … Rafael Marchán absolutely cannot go to Triple A when J.T. Realmuto comes back. #Phillies

Again:

Rafael Marchan needs to be the backup C. Stubbs brings nothing to this lineup that Marchan doesn’t match, if not (in most cases) exceeds.— Ryan Schwartz (@Ryan_Schwartz07) July 10, 2024

Defending Stubbs over Marchan for any other reason than Marchan can play every day in AAA is psychotic.
