I am 100% fine with Burns liking Caratini better, it gives Contreras some rest plus a pitcher catcher have a relationship. Also 

• Caratini (8 starts): 2.08 ERA, .476 OPS, 6.5 innings per start, 3.6 strikeouts per walk
• Contreras (5 starts): 5.96 ERA, .816 OPS, 5.1 innings per start, 1.6 strikeouts per walk

I think his argument is that once we hit the playoffs, it should be Contreras catching every day to maximize the lineup. Which I could agree with and wouldn't have a problem with generally, but I don't know if that's the time to start messing with Burnes' mojo either since he basically has no rapport built up with Contreras at this point (which I think is also part of wiguy's point).

For what it is worth, I am most definitely not advocating we force Contreras on Burnes at this point. We just have to reap what we have sowed and keep rolling with Caratini. 
 

I’m just saying it’s frustrating that we will be trotting out a weaker playoff lineup in 25+% of our playoff games because Burnes gave up on Contreras catching him after a few starts.
