warm it up, kris

[Cubswin11]

He also wasn’t commanding anything great and couldn’t put guys away. Also seemed like him and Willson might have been off on what to call.

[Agony and Ivy]

Did we just have a four pitch half inning?

Is it meatball-ish of me to think that outside of his cannon of an arm that Willson is...kinda terrible behind the plate?

I've been pretty disappointed with the outright misses(at least 3 passed balls already) as well as stuff like the pitch he dropped in Cervelli's last at bat. It was clearly a strike and simply catching it would've gotten him the call and (based on the ensuing events) saved a run.

I wouldn’t say terrible but he definitely needs work back there in blocking balls and what seems like getting lazy at times and not catching balls. Don’t know what to think, or if anything has ever been reported, of his “game calling” or if he really even has those duties or if it comes from the dugout or pitcher mostly.

[Agony and Ivy]

That was hit hard.

[Sammy Sofa]

That's the kind of stuff that's been jumping out at me, too, and just generally he doesn't seem like too great a framer, either.

 

PLEASE BE BETTER, WILLSON.

 

[Ding Dong Johnson]

dammit, why couldn't this be one of the games I'm not able to watch?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

At least our new No. 5 pitcher isn't nearly as annoying when getting his butt kicked.

[UMFan83]

Oh yeah I'm definitely feeling the vaunted vibe now.

[Cubswin11]

We either are going to comeback and win this game or end up losing like 13-4

[Bryants Disco Ball]

You will be thankful you are able to when the comeback happens. Comebacks are far more exciting.

Yes, his teeth are quite respectable and considerably less horselike thus making him less annoying

Schwarbs gonna unfurl a fat dong right here.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

bless your goofy giraffe legs and the terrible places they take you, Polanco

[Sammy Sofa]

Schwarbs gonna unfurl a fat dong right here.

 

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr he won't even get Willson over to 3rd. One or the other.

 

[Cubswin11]

Those are two ugly at bats

[Bryants Disco Ball]

That's where you just want to see some nice contact after a leadoff double, maybe even score a point without even needing a hit. Oh, well. Still plenty o time left.

[Sammy Sofa]

There's no point in anything anymore. Just give me the food death.
