9/11 GAME ONE Cubs (Arrieta) @ Phillies (Morgan) 4:05 PM CST, CSN

It's a double header. They aren't taking Ross out here.

You have 3 catchers on your roster for a reason

[Ski]

[expletive] masterful, Ross. -_-

[ARCubsFan]

And Ross is still in. Bad.

 

It is a double header with 30 minutes in between games. They aren't going to pinch hit with Montero and make him catch 13 straight innings just because you hate Ross.

They have Schwarber

[bukie]

No because the cubs arent reactionary idiots.

[ctcf]

This Baez kid seems pretty alright.

it's a double header and all we're really fighting for is whether the wild card game will be at home or not. relax.

[ctcf]

lol jake

[Sammys Boombox]

They clearly aren't going to use Schwarber as a catcher from here on out if they weren't willing to do it there

[Schwarber Fan]

You guys are fooling yourselves if you think Maddon didn't PH for Ross there because it's a double header. It's a nice excuse for him to use though.

and madden has already said Schwarber won't be catching Arrietta.

Who missed a week with a muscle injury and still doesn't look great. Again, making knee jerk moves because you can't handle Ross's existence is not on the menu.

Russell!

<3 you, Addy

I see you're still you.

[Ski]

That was... unfortunate baserunning.

[Schwarber Fan]

Well, that was dumb. Jackson is going deep though.

[Ski]

Curse you, BABIP luck.

[Schwarber Fan]

Oh well, should be enough.

[Smack]

well, Russell just brightened my day

Aramis fan fan, eventually you will comprehend basic logic like the rest of humanity.

Well Schwarber has been catching Hendricks lately, so it wouldn't necessarily be subjecting Montero to 1.5 games.

 

The bigger point still holds though. The win would be nice, and a lot of wins would be even better....but this doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.

[ctcf]

did castro get pulled for being a doofus?

And as TT already mentioned, Schwarber is still coming back from an injury and maybe not throwing him back behind the dish so quickly would be wise.
