I don't mind trading Monty, but straight up for Maldonado? Really??
Really. It’s either much worse, or Theo is getting super desperate. They do have a history of carrying three catcher, though, so this might not signal another move is in the works to move Caratini if Contreras is healthy in 7-8 days.
 
I don't see how it's worth giving up Montgomery for Maldanado. Play Caratini and run Taylor Davis out there every fifth day.

Blame Maddon for continuing to run Monty out there against lefties. He destroyed his value and probably his worth to the team.
 
Another Theo gem!!!!!!!!!!!!:p:p:p:p

Arguably, your biggest trade piece...for a #3 catcher.

I swear. Why do I watch? I tuned in during the first inning, 2 outs 2-2 count I believe, and the first pitch I witness...HR. Then 2 straight hit batters and then an RBI single, and then another. 3-0.

Does anyone else experience that when you watch, the worst things happen?

As a precursor, I was watching the Bartman game and decided to record the last couple of innings on my VCR for posterity's sake, and, we all know what happened then.

Speaking of, Wrigley just isn’t the same since they got rid of those delicious orange fountain mai tais.
Speaking of, if you watch the video of Schwarber’s homer the guy that digs the ball out of the basket has a jersey that says Mai Tai Guy. He taught the kid next to him a life lesson. You gotta want it.
 
I'm normally a fan of Maddon using analytics with making his lineup but today has me shaking my head. Schwarber has homered in 3 straight games and Garcia has been hitting the piss out of the ball. But they are off for Russell and Almora?

I’m ok with Garcia but agree 100% with Schwarber. They’ve been trying all season to get him hot — he’s finally hot — and Maddon immediately sits him. Dumb!
