re: CHC Thread 5/15: Cubs 1 Pirates 2 | Final

These Pirates announcers are butt hurt about the Cubs fan's throwing the ball back after a homer

With that said the dad was kind of a jerk from taking it back from his son and throwing it back.

I've gone full 180 on him. If schwarber were healthy it might be a different story. Still think personalized catchers are stupid (but that could just be my hate for tim mccarver)

If it helps Lester, then I am all for it. We can afford a below average in the lineup. I would much rather be resting our catcher rather than putting him through Sal Perez hell (playing every single day).

Also, he is such a great influence on the clubhouse and helps the team play to the best of their abilities. It is amazing how accepting everyone is to shifting around because you normally would think that would be losing your job because everyone loves and trust Maddon so much that they know that they will get their at-bats.
