4/24 Cubs (aregood) (Lester) @ Reds (Leake) 6:05 CDT, CSN

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm going to set the over/under on Cubs dongs in this series at 6.5.

 

maybe if we stop talking about the dongs they will come

 

We've had a pretty decent number of dongs already. It's not like we've been held dongless.

 

the hype for the first KB dong is off the charts -- i dont think it will die till he finally does it, then i think he'll go on a rampage.

 

The .500+ OBP is keeping me happy in the meantime.

Dong buildup is not healthy

Wely was coming back into my good graces with the hitting but he really pissed me off yesterday

[DiamondMind]

Is there some numerical data to support my irrational thought of catchers making awful pinch hitters because they're creatures of habit?

If we are going to insist on playing him, though, I'm glad Maddon is hitting him in front of Lester so teams will keep walking him.

I think that would be hard to study since most catchers don't get used as a pinch hitter since, A: they may be needed if the starting catcher gets hurt, and B: catchers aren't usually that good hitters in the first place.

You better tell him no problem because we've already discussed this too.

[NotSoSober]

nice to have fowler back. lester has been horrible so can we just make schwarber his personal catcher instead of ross

Schwarber leads AA in almost every offensive category.

[treebird]

very glad to see fowler back.

 

lester's stuff looked much improved last time out. time for his first good start as a cub.

[DiamondMind]

If he bombs tonight he's out of excuses. I really hope that's not what the post game PC is about. He has got to get that cutter working.
