7/4 CUBS (Hill) vs. Nats (Chico), 11:05am CT, WGN-TV, XM 183

[CubColtPacer]

Something has to be done with our catchers. The Cubs starting catchers are hitting 4-43 (.093) since Barrett has been traded. I'd guess our pitchers are hitting higher then that

 

Yup, the trade has been a disaster for both sides so far. The Cubs catchers are 4-42 with 4 walks I believe and a HR, and Barrett is 4-32 all singles, no walks, and a ton of opponents stolen bases. It's been a wash right now, but not the wash I was looking for-I wish both sides were doing well, not both sides doing awful.

I'm glad we traded our good hitting catcher for one who plays defense.

 

Barrett has done nothing for the Padres since that trade. He has bascially done nothing all year.

 

Well, since joining the Padres- Barrett has hit 250/250/281.

 

That is bad...but since joining the Cubs, Bowen has hit 050/200/050.

 

Yikes. I'll take the 250/250/281 over that.

[Coach C]

Boy, if he would had stop eating steaks, he might actually caught that.

And same goes for Bowen, and hes never done anything at the Major league level, where as barret has.

[killthegoat06]

Bring him home Lee!

[cjbucks]

Com on DLEE drive him in!!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We definitely need to do something at the catcher's spot. Hill and Bowen are atrocious.

 

I'd rather have Paul Bako over those two.

Bowen as a Cub- 2 for 20. 050/200/050. His OPS is 250. Hell Neifi had a higher OBP as Bowen had OPS.

That's a stretch.

bowen isn't good, but he isn't this bad.

[98navigator]

Eventually, the Cubs are going to break through today.

[Coach C]

My god... Demetri sure likes rumbling, bumbling, and falling all over the place.

[anabiono]

Are you positive about that? Cause Im not so sure

[killthegoat06]

My god... Demetri sure likes rumbling, bumbling, and falling all over the place.

 

That just makes it even more frustrating.

 

Rumbling, bumbling, stumbling.. :twisted:

[anabiono]

is there a really good reason we can't call up soto?

[Guest]

Screw you Furcal for ruining Lee.

and the argument could be that Barrett isn't as bad as he's performed with the Padres.

Today is beginning to feel like an old school Cubs loss.
