Maddon says Contreras is pretty much our starter now?

Where? When?

According to Jesse Rogers, Maddon says that Miggy is gonna catch Arrieta, Ross is gonna catch Lester, and Contreras might catch 2-3 of the 5. 3 would obviously make him the majority starter.

huh...well, there you go.

Well, that didn't take long. They must believe that Miggy is either hurt and not telling them or actually just sucks now. And they just don't give a horsefeathers either way.

Or he's hurt and IS telling them.

 

A player's injury status at any given point is just technicality. He might be just banged up all over but lacking a particular label.

That throw was awesome. And then to follow it up with the tag play at the plate... wow.

Jeez. Thought we were just getting another good player. Didn't realize we were also getting yet another great personality

[Andy]

I'm totally sold on him as the starting catcher if he can be passable at the plate. I don't know about his framing yet but early returns are very high on everything else defensively.

Yeah, he is fiery and full of self-confidence and plays with a lot of emotion. Man, I love him. That quote just made me hard. That's after his first career major league start. That's awesome.

I loved how amped up he was after driving in that RBI last night. I hope he ends up driving the meatballs insane.

I've only seen the replays, but he reminds me of Pudge a bit

I noticed after that RBI single yesterday that he has some big hands. Ladies, I think we know what THAT means, am I right

 

What does it mean?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

What a savage. I love this guy.

Contreras is going to bring out the worst in me, I assure you.

Between Strops over the top celebrations, the addition of Willson's energy/swagger and even Miggy has been fist bumping after big outs, we are going to piss off a ton of meatballs. I love it.

statcorner thought he had a good game

 

oddly he lost several strikes but also added a bunch, for +2 strike calls total...but as i said before i think that ump was either screwy with his zone or plain bad

Clearly you are confused by what a meatball is.

It's a circular, meat based food. But that's not important right now.
