Nice bounce-back W. But, man, this team strikes out A LOT.

Awesome. Enjoy. That will be a great experience.

Let's see what we (he) checked off today:

* First cubs game
* First time singing Go Cubs Go
* First time seeing someone sing Take me Out to the Ballpark from the pressbox.
* He saw future Cub Bryce Harper homer (For reasons unknown to me, the friendship between Bryant and Harper fascinates him)
* Seeing his favorite player (Contreras) homer (He loves catchers)
* He wore his Aggie hat and had several Aggies come up and give him a high five. Oddly enough, almost none of them expected that I would say "I went there" and just assumed we were strange distant Aggie fans.
* First trough experience
* Peanuts at the ballpark is apparently the greatest thing ever.
* First lemon chill. I've created a monster.

Epic bullpen meltdown. Carl Edwards Jr. needs to not pitch again for a while.

Rough week. He got us out of some tight spots the week before though.

Q is a long term move. Bullpen arms will go up and down. Relax.

Yeah, they'll probably get in a better groove the next 50 games. Hopefully Q performs how he did his first two starts, not the last two. Wilson's been meh at best.

I'm assuming that's an AustinAg quote? This thread got much better when I put him on ignore.

Not jumping off the ledge, was just hoping for a more immediate "splash" from the three newcomers. Aside from Q's first two starts, not much impact from them. Maybe Avila will come through today.

And, hey, Junkhead... Suck it. Just because you "started" this thread doesn't mean you control it, jerk. Basically, go F yourself.

Jay has actually hit over.300 against lefties over the past three seasons.

Yep. It's a tad bit frustrating seeing a trade happen to get a guy rest and you run him out there anyway because he's the only guy hitting.

Preventing this was literally why you got Avila.

Yes. I guess I'll tone down the "rant" a little.

He had 1 less game played this year than Buster Posey. (but Posey has only 80 games catching vs Willson's 94)

Top Catchers in terms of game played:

Maldonado (97 C, 98 total)
Molina (96, 98)
Contreras (94, 102)
Realmuto (91, 97)
Grandal (85, 91)
Perez (85, 99)
Wieters (85, 88)
Castro (80, 81)
Posey (80, 103)
