Napoli > Mathis at calling games
Or at least the same. Updating a previous Fanpost, in which I found Mathis' Catcher ERA was better than Napoli's even when controlling for quality of pitcher, I've got a new post at OCR that finds the differences are entirely driven by BABIP luck. Mike Napoli, I apologize for that earlier stuff. Play on.

That’ll give you some inkling as to whether the skill is repeatable.
Napoli had the lower BABIPs in 2007, by quite a bit
Saving countless runs with my defense.

Eyeballing it, no discernable difference between them in 2006

What about catcher ERA, overall and per pitcher?
Not busting yr balls; genuinely curious & with no quick way of finding out myself.
