How many double plays have we grounded into this year so far? Seems like we have at least 3 every game.

BARRETT IS REALLY SUCKING BEHIND THE PLATE. OMG

 

Gameday said it was a wild pitch.

 

It was but it was right infront of Barrett he turned the wrong way and let it skip away. TERRIBLE move--it hit his glove

 

Barrett is the worst defensive catcher in the league.

 

Y'know, even if that were true, and its not, his offense still outweighs it.

 

It is true. Im tired of hearing about "his offense outweighs his mistakes behind the plate." Hell, I rather have Blanco starting behind the plate each game because I know he wont be dropping off-speed pitches, I know he will block pitches in the dirt, and I know he will call a really solid game behind the plate. Barrett is garbage behind the plate. He is better served as a DH in the AL than he is a catcher in the NL.

 

HAHA.

 

The Cubs would be losing 4-0 right now instead of 4-0. So he has a point.

I'm not even gonna argue with you if you are going to cite vague, unreasonable things like "Calls a better game" in defense of a catcher.

I respect that you would rather focus on defense behind the plate, but it shows a complete lack of understanding the value of defensive contributions.

 

It's surely frustrating to watch, but his offense does actually outweigh his defense.

Alright, there's the start we need.

 

 

 

Guaranteed DP coming next...

 

That's the 2nd day in a row someone has been right about that.

 

It's hard not to be right when the team hits into a DP every other inning.

You aren't buying that they've only been "down by 4 after 8 innings" 45 times in all of time?? :D
