I'd say catcher's effects are pretty limited to the minor leagues, in a Crash Davis with the original Nukester kind of way. In the majors, it boils down to helping the pitcher remember the scouting report of the hitters and keeping him in rhythm with calls he likes. Not doing either of those well would probably not effect his pitching much, but could make him pretty disgruntled.

Eh, my thoughts anyway. At the ML level, the pitchers know what pitches they're comfortable with. If it was the catcher's exclusive job to call the game, they wouldn't let pitchers shake off signs.
