4/5 cardinals (wainwright) @ cubs (lester) 705 pm cdt espn2

[ARCubsFan]

Alright, can we stop with this personal catcher nonsense?

[Sammy Sofa]

Christ, Castillo would have had him out by a mile.

[OleMissCub]

"How did Kruk break his arm?" could be a fun game

[treebird]

it can't be good that david ross is too old and feeble to throw the ball all the way to second base

[Sammy Sofa]

.

 

Are we gonna migrate over to the Mad Men thread for a live-watch?

[Wilson A2000]

No. The infield is flat. Gravity would have had no effect.

 

I'm going to to assume this you intentionally being clever, because otherwise, holy [expletive], I need to go and fly off of a hill.

 

Never assume I'm being clever. You are smarter than that.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

On the other hand, that's two Ks for pitch-framing. Important ones.

[Tryptamine]

This strike zone is literally a foot too wide.

[George Hayduke]

Glad Lester got that, but what a ridiculous strike zone.

[Rex Buckingham]

This strike zone is a joke

[HendryWallet]

So will Ross catch every Lester start? That's going to be annoying

[Dr. Cub]

I'm going to go waaay out on a limb and say Cubs score 4 runs this entire series. This strike zone is an absolute joke.

[Wilson A2000]

Well it's the only reason Ross signed a two-year deal

[Sammy Sofa]

No. The infield is flat. Gravity would have had no effect.

do we get to remove ross when lester comes out?

Home plate umpire changes every game.

hopefully from this mortal coil

[Gilby]

Ross did throw the first runner out and if not for the wind, may have homered his first AB. I'm far from his biggest fan, but let's not go too far with the Ross hate.

[Fred Hornkohl]

.... The infield is flat. ....

 

No, it most assuredly is not.

 

It's less pitched than the angle of descent of the Germanwings plane at least

 

All of that plus $1.89 will buy you coffee down at the Flying J, eh?

[Geech]

I like the way you think.

[Irrelevant Dude]

do we get to remove ross when lester comes out?

No, because then if both backups get hurt the Cubs are out of catchers.

[treebird]

yes, if not for the fact that the wind isn't blowing out to center at 75 mph

[Hairyducked Idiot]

So when do the Cubs score their first run of the year? Thursday-ish?

[Dr. Cub]

In other news, the sky is blue.

When does Travis Wood get his first at bat?
