We supposedly have these defensive catchers who can't throw runners out or in this instance catch the ball. I know it's all about their framing but damn.

[Agony and Ivy]

I wish I could mute Karros. [expletive] he's awful.

Oh come on, Ross has been great on defense.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 82-49 (.626) when they draw 2 or more walks.... 4-12 (.250) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[PrimeTime]

So why Deno over Schwarber against a RHP? Also Montero sitting in favor than Ross? Lineup just looks way more beastly when those 2 instead. Im guessing righties hit Wacha better? I'll trust whatever Joe does

[Isaac Vines]

Len was mentioning that its because Wacha's change-up is more difficult for lefties to hit...

I was wondering if they would. Did anyone else on the site point out the obvious to them?

You've got it, Wacha has a consistent reverse split, because of that changeup.

I was definitely upset with Ross on that play at home plate...but overall this season he has been lights out behind the plate.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 4.30 P/PA..... Cardinals are seeing 3.33 P/PA through 2 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Nope. They are oblivious to it. They are complaining about the strike zone again too. I am officially obsessed with that site now that I know about it. It probably won't be as fun when the cards are winning.

Plus the throw was slow and offline and just sucked all around.

[PrimeTime]

Shut up and sit down Pham

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 5-2 (.714) when they've won their last 4 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

one guy said something like "good to see a cubs announcer and a former cub doing an impartial broadcast"

 

i asked if it was sarcasm

 

he implied that it was. i was a little surprised at this level of self awareness and lack of delusion, and then i realized that he meant the part where he said they're trying to be impartial

Did you then point out the obvious?

[kujay]

I was just thinking it would be great to get 4 out of Wood. Nope.

nah. don't want to be that opposing fan troll guy who comes on another team's board and defends his team.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 2-3 (.400) when their starter pitches 2-2/3 innings or less.... 84-58 (.592) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[bukie]

Would have been nice to get Heyward, but not a bad 12 hitters from Wood. One less walk would have been nice.

Well, you'd actually be defending Fox!

Yeah I thought so too after that 7 pitch first inning.

Peralta swinging at a pitch a foot off the ground on 2-0. Thank you.
