Second among MLB catchers in WAR...the fact that his 3.2 is double Yadi's 1.6, I'm going to go ahead and believe he's axactly twice as good.

I'd say you are axactly right.

Science is nothing if not axact.

I go to games solely to see Molina frame pitches.

Weirdo. I go in the hopes I'll get to watch an umpire take over the game and show those spoiled players what a big boy he is.

Fuck that, I go hoping I see dudes in Blues Brothers costumes or face paint.

FUCK

As long as he's only out a month, nothing is fucked.

If he's done for the year, well fuck.

Gonna need to revise expectations from "Cubs are back!" To "First Team to 85 Wins The Division"

I mostly feel bad for Willson who was having a borderline-supreme season.  I think it's good they have Avila, and Caritini has apparently gotten hot since going back after homering and winning a game in his last plate appearance for the Cubs so there's a chance they can mitigate, to some degree, Willson's absence but if he's shut down for the season then that'd be tough to overcome in the playoffs.

Fowler's hammy cost him 4 weeks last year, correct?

Probably time to give Grandpa a call.

Question for the statfhags...

I can't find it, but I wonder how much better/worse Contreras' framing (which is a problem at all times) gets with men on base.

Asking because I wonder if his desire to show off the cannon attached to his right shoulder is costing pitchers strikes.

Bump for the starting NL catcher's gig. And for being better than Yadi.
