API in relation to Catcher's rating
i had wondered if a higher rated catcher would call a better game than a lower rated one.
Ex: if i have jose molina(or any of the molina brothers) behind the plate would their veteran presence and championship expierence contribute to better suggestions by the API?
or then again, if i had Jeff Mathis behind the plate would the API suffer? IRL Mathis is looking to Mike Scioscia to call the next pitch in important situations. so would the game take this into account and penalize Mathis less because he's coached by the game's best manager?
Or is the API just all the same regardless of who's behind the dish?
do lower rated defensive catchers cost u more than just passed balls and wild throws on pickoffs and steal attempts?
Might bad catchers also throw off your pitchers game and/or confidence?
any input would be appreciated cause i have never been able to figure it out
