After nearly three decades behind the plate, I've seen it all from catchers. The good, the bad, and the stuff that makes me want to call time and have a conversation.

This week is all about catcher icks. The habits, behaviors, and little annoyances that catchers bring to the plate that drive umpires crazy. From framing pitches that bounced in the dirt to turning around to argue balls and strikes, we're naming names (well, not literally) and breaking down why these habits hurt catchers more than they help.

But this isn't just a venting session. We'll talk about what great catchers do instead, how the umpire and catcher relationship actually works, and why the catchers who treat their umpire like a partner tend to get the benefit of the doubt all season long.

If you're an umpire, you'll be nodding along the whole episode. If you're a catcher or coach a catcher, consider this your scouting report on how to stay on your umpire's good side.
