Because our SP are the only part of the team that is working right now and bringing in a new catcher with no experience catching for those starters might affect that.  They should absolutely be figuring out a solution to their massive catching issues but I'm not sure sending Amaya to Iowa and making the catching situation Gomes (a worse hitter and catcher) and a new guy is the best way to address it.

If Amaya's arm never improves I would cut bait after the season, regardless of how well he frames and works with pitchers. You cannot have a guy who autmotically puts runners in scoring position like that IMO,

[UMFan83]

How many warning track shots are we going to hit today.

[UMFan83]

Busch's out there had a 105 mph exit velo, was hit 394 feet, and had a .930 xBA

pretty excited to see how the Brewers manage to get the lead back, my money is on a chopper hits a low flying bird to deflect down the line for a leadoff triple

I wish Happ would give up switch-hitting.

I've said this before but after reading comments from switch-hitters who tried it, the transition may not be as viable as it seems. He'd likely be atrocious LvL too.

He is atrocious RvL, so at that point you platoon him with someone who can hit LHP.

uh little isn't supposed to be throwing 93 right?

[Derwood]

JFC Amaya

[profisme]

This is why we can't have nice things.

[WhyCantWeWin]

What the horsefeathers is Amaya doing back there

[abuck1220]

amaya is the second worst catcher in baseball.

[Rcal10]

Cubs have to send Amaya down. I don’t care who they have in the minors he has to be better than him. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Can we trade for Casali back?

[CubinNY]

get Aliendo to AAA

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Let's give Aliendo a shot.

Morel is going to light up the league, it was just a matter of time 

Both his hits today were the other way - if he keeps doing that he will.  He doesn't need to pull everything.  He hit an absolute BOMB the other way last year in Philadelphia.  Hopefully he keeps looking that way.

[Rcal10]

This Little appearance shouldn’t surprise anyone, should it? He can’t throw strikes. No idea why Counsel put him in.

How about walks and a blooper

[We Got The Whole 9]

Ok if we give up a hit after that DP I'm gonna lose it

[chibears55]

Poor Morel, hits a game tying homer and then gets benched for Madrigal 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[UMFan83]

Why cant the Cubs win a game like 8-1 or something?  It seems like every game is a loss (most of the time) or a nail biting 1 run victory.

[CubinNY]

horsefeathers horsefeathers

 

[UMFan83]

And the bullpen blows it

[We Got The Whole 9]

A sweeper in the shadow zone up and away and Sanchez obliterates it 420 to center. Just horsefeathers off already, baseball.

[Derwood]

That ball was outside and Sanchez still took it out to center
