05/31 Dodgers (Kazmir) @ CUBS (Arrieta) 7:05 CDT, ABC7

It's kind of hilarious how awful Montero is at all of the obvious stuff. Fortunately for him, it's 2016 and can make a living off of framing. Like I don't know if he's thrown a ball to 2nd in the air as a Cub.

 

He was solidly above average last year without accounting for (elite) pitch framing even slightly.

 

Really? His passed balls weren't as bad but I seem to remember a really long streak of not throwing out any base stealers

[BigSlick]

Jesus the fielders are failing Arrieta all over the place, come on guys

[BigSlick]

Rizzo quite obviously makes the tag, call it and go to the dugout

I want fielders on the field with 2 outs though

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I have no numbers to prove this and have no idea if it will be correct, but I really feel the Cubs will take the lead this inning.

What on earth does that include, if not pitch framing? I have him at 18% CS as a Cub, and the wild pitches look bad when you take into account the fact he's caught fewer innings than most on the list.

[BigSlick]

Wow...Zobrist looking totally confused today. Very surprising

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Zobrist sucks

[UMFan83]

Wtf Zo?

 

Pretty sure the next time he goes hitless he's getting a rest day the next game

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Zobs going through a strikeout phase the last three games. It's OK, though. Good player.

[Ski]

Let's score some runs, guys. We're past the Cubs era of getting shut down by crafty lefties.

Needs to be benched to be taught a lesson.

[BigSlick]

Don't know where that pitch missed

[Tryptamine]

Nice call ump.

[Ski]

Call it.

[NotSoSober]

gotta love the best pitcher in baseball not getting that call..robots, please

[bcl412]

The pitch was very borderline. Not really a bad no call.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Pirates fall. Let's get back to 7.5 up

 

Am I weird for not acknowledging half games when it comes to standings? I strictly look at loss column.
