Plate discipline: MLB umps crack down on blocking home

A few close plays at the plate over the past couple weeks have infuriated MLB catchers

AUGUST 22, 2022 • Associated Press

Sitting, but looks like top catcher Nola is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact With starts behind the plate in three of the past four contests and eight of the previous 11 games, Nola appears to have overtaken Jorge Alfaro as the Friars' No. 1 catcher. Alfaro will get the starting nod Sunday, but Nola has been the far better performer in August with a .730 OPS to Alfaro's .374 mark.

Back on bench Nola is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Nola had seen an uptick in playing time of late while Jorge Alfaro had nursed a knee issue, but Alfaro looks to be healthy again and will pick up his second start behind the plate in the Padres' last three games. Though he no longer has a clear path to the top catcher's role, Nola is off to a strong start to August and should play more than the typical No. 2 backstop. In 11 games so far this month, Nola has hit .265 with a home run, four walks, six runs and five RBI.

Drives in three Nola went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Giants.

Impact Nola took Jarlin Garcia yard in the sixth inning to tally his third homer of the season. He has started four of the Padres' last five games with Jorge Alfaro (knee) battling an injury, though Nola has only three hits across 13 at-bats in that span. For the season, Nola has a .247/.318/.324 line across 283 plate appearances.

Opportunities picking up Nola will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Impact Nola will step in behind the plate for the fourth time in five games while fellow backstop Jorge Alfaro (knee) is tending to an injury. Alfaro isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list, but Nola may have forced his way into a timeshare at catcher. Since the beginning of July, Nola has slashed .277/.342/.323 with three doubles, a stolen base, five RBI and four runs in 21 games.

Darvish fans 9 in 7 innings, Padres top Diamondbacks 5-3

A fired-up Yu Darvish struck out nine in seven innings and the scuffling San Diego Padres beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-3

JULY 16, 2022 • Associated Press

Registers second steal Nola went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Nola supplied a two-run double in the second inning and scored on an Esteury Ruiz single. In the third, Nola grounded into a double play that led to another run, and he added a single and a steal in the fifth. The catcher has hit safely in his last five contests, going 6-for-16 (.375) in that span. He's posted a .242/.309/.309 slash line with two home runs, 25 RBI, 24 runs scored, eight doubles and a pair of steals through 236 plate appearances. Nola has started to push for more even playing time behind the dish, starting four of the last eight games while splitting the catching duties with Jorge Alfaro.

Returns to bench role Nola is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact With Jorge Alfaro overcoming a knee injury and stepping back in behind the plate Sunday, Nola's four-game run in the starting nine will come to an end. Though he should play more frequently than most No. 2 catchers, Nola will likely be little more than a low-end starting option in mixed leagues that keep two catchers active now that Alfaro is healthy again.

Plates two runs Nola went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Phillies.

Impact Though Jorge Alfaro's hot bat has earned him a near-everyday role at catcher or designated hitter, Nola hasn't completely fallen out of the lineup as a result. In fact, Sunday marked Nola's fourth start in five games, He's gone 6-for-15 with a double, five RBI and three runs over those four starts and should continue to hold down at least a part-time role with the Padres while he's swinging a hot bat.
