Why did Javy Lopez not catch games for Greg Maddux regularly?
Javy Lopez did not regularly catch Greg Maddux because Maddux wanted to have his own personal catcher. He is one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history and certainly earned the right to ask for that. His personal catcher wasn't Lopez because Maddux only pitched every fifth day and Lopez's bat was too valuable to use for only a fifth of the season. Maddox wants his own personal catcher. This not only gets a second catcher some playing time and at- bats it also gives the regular catcher a day off every five or six days so it works well. Maddux wanted a catcher he could bully. He also liked to work fast and Lopez took too long to get the ball back to him.
