Sorry, he's a pro and it shouldn't take that much of a toll on him. I'll give him a pass on those days he catches Dickey, but that's it.

Common knowledge that catching is brutal and catching a knuckler is even worse. I think you are being entirely unfair in this case and that most people wouldn't question the hypothesis that catching a knuckler is hard on a catcher.
