Catchers interference (which lets a runner to first). A passed ball on the third strike (which also lets a runner to first). Any number of passed balls during the game (some of which are due to the pitchers actions, but others are clearly the catchers fault).
And that's just as the pitch is reaching the plate.
Throwing the ball into centerfield, allowing a runner who would have had second to now also have third. Throwing the ball down the first base line on a bunt, which now allows the runner on first to go to third (and depending on the outfield alignment and that runner's speed, to score) and allowing the batter to get to second (when he was sacrificing himself).
Not blocking the plate; Jorge Posada is one guy I can point out that doesn't block the plate all that well, so runners tend to get by him more easily (in this area Piazza excels, however).
And how about the things that we don't see? Calling the game, for example. Yes, a veteran pitcher like Curt Schilling probably calls 90% of his pitches, but what about a young pitcher like AJ Burnett? If a catcher calls a particularly bad game (poor pitch selection, poor placement -- calling for the outside fastball when the batter excels at going to the opposite field would be an example) then he's costing his team not one run, but multiple runs. Piazza is supposedly pretty good at this also, though his judgement always seemed to be in question when Benitez took the mound.
The catcher is an integral part of the game, if for nothing else than the ball is thrown to him every pitch. My son is a catcher, I'm his coach, so I've witnessed these things first hand.
