4/28 Cubs (Wells) @ Phillies (Blanton) 6:05 WGN/MLBN

[El Duderino]

Go Cubs.

[Little Slide Rooter]

The 2012 Phillies are in grave danger of becoming the 2009 Cubs. Not awful, but a very disappointing follow up to the prior season. Sadly, after the 2009 Cubs come the 2010 and 2011.

[MWV]

Oh my god, what if they became the '71 Twins?! Manuel would be forced to pinch hit for himself, TEARING THE FABRIC OF SPACE-TIME!!

[Rizzo Smash]

Soto is out with an injury. Castillo starts and bats 8th.

[NOLA]

Soto is out with an injury. Castillo starts and bats 8th.

 

So who catches if Castillo gets a hammy?

Didn't Jeff Baker used to be a catcher or something?

1-0 cubs!

[BleacherBadger]

can't stop these cubs

[Little Slide Rooter]

Soto is out with an injury. Castillo starts and bats 8th.

 

So who catches if Castillo gets a hammy?

 

Probably Soto.

 

I'm pretty sure Jeff Bakers been dubbed the emergency catcher in the past, though I don't think it ever came down to it.

I suppose Randy Wells could, but all the running back and forth would be tiring.

I was gonna say, we drafted Wells as a catcher and converted him, right?

[El Duderino]

oh yeah, wasn't marmol a catcher?

Stewart called out on strikes
