I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. These scouts will tell you that catcher X can do a better job of calling a game using their memory which is notoriously unreliable. While the statistics show no correlation of skills between pitchers and different catchers.

I just don't think game calling is a skill that someone has a big advantage over another player.
