Direct quotes on how intangibles and stats like catchers ERA along with many beers and a night out led to Ross being a Cub. Did you think they were looking at his WAR?OPS?

the front picked both of those guys? huh The front office picked up Miggy too. It's not about Miggy vs Ross or Kelly vs Amaya. If a guy throws better to a certain guy it's not a slight against the other catcher. The Red Sox tried this last season doing with Wong and Bello.

you have 88,000 posts maybe just maybe you aren't the guy to be telling other posters when a point needs to be made?

Saying catcher ERA is pointless is comical. Make sure to watch the 2016 stuff Theo and Jed talk about how they saw surplus value in Ross because of catcher ERA, while others teams saw an overpay.

Cherry picking. He provided the data and brought up pitchers throwing better to certain catchers. A guy with 87,000 maybe shouldn't be telling posters when a point needs to be made. This a board for discussing baseball.

point that doesn't need to be made?

Thanks for acknowledging he was correct.

thanks for sharing the data.

I love that Mk49 provided the data and you guys are still it doesn't make a difference who catches who. Must have missed David Ross, Eddie Perez, and Henry Blanco careers.

Justin Steele update today multiple weeks away from starting to throw the ball again.

Justin Turner 2.0 on this years roster isn't a bad fit.McCutcheon getting the at-bats Kingery/Lopez have been getting is an upgrade.

https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2026/05/28/farewell-nicky-lopez-hello-new-bench-option/ Bretts first good idea in awhile. Mccutchen is a great fit.

Bregman shaved his head maybe the whole team should.

Nobody asked for the check swing?

Clearly someone needs to save one of Edwin Diaz's chickens so we can sacrifice it.
