5/8 Dusty Baker's Nats (Roark) @ CUBS (Jake) 1:20 PM CDT WGN/MLBN

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

How hard is it to catch the fing ball? Hopefully Montero is almost ready to come off the DL soon.

[fallacy]

Ross needs to start all Jake's starts until Montero comes back

[BigSlick]

Even though I disagree with him, going the "YOu never played baseball!!! nerds in the basement!!!!!" argument is really the wrong thing to do

[JennieGarthAlgar]

When will Miggy be back? Assuming no rehab?

[Sammy Sofa]

Montero: come home soon.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Can somebody remind me what Castillo had a huge problem with his last season with us? Was it passed balls all the time? Can't remember but it was something.

[Schwarber Fan]

It seems like Montero has been out forever.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 18-4 (.818) when their pitchers average 15 pitches per inning or less.... 5-2 (.714) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Pretty much the whole catching aspect of playing catcher

It definitely effected the Cubs record negatively

They didn't really have a choice, they lost 2 catchers in a row. Sometimes you have to use replacement level players.

Arrieta losing a few strikes/pitches to Federowicz's D doesn't make your bizarre crusade against him coming up for 2 weeks any more sensical.

We are 9-1 since Montero's last game.

[Careless]

I'm shocked that the 5th best catcher in the organization isn't very good

[David]

lol do you think people expected him to be a good player?

 

he's just a guy they had to call up from AAA to fill in for an injury. basically the definition of replacement level.

[David]

He's just mad that Contreras wasn't called up.

[BigSlick]

lol at Len "it took Colon 7 minutes to round the bases"

[Hairyducked Idiot]

0.80

 

Cubs win percentage after this game or Arrieta's current ERA?

 

(Both)

[bcl412]

This ump loves the outside pitch. Grrr

[Fred Hornkohl]

It definitely effected the Cubs record negatively

 

CUBS are 9-3 (.750) when Montero starts at catcher

CUBS are 11-2 (.846) when Ross starts at catcher

CUBS are 3-1 (.750) when Federowicz starts at catcher

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Ski]

Roark is hitting the corners tonight. We need to start protecting better with two strikes.

[BigSlick]

I will say this though: Federowicz is having a shockingly hard time receiving the ball
