ya know clutchy, it's a little known fact that leeches were a key factor in the..
…the fall of the Roman Empire. It’s true. Why just the other day on my route, I ran into the curator over at the Museum of Natural History and we discussed the de facto standard of health ratings achieved during the reign of one Julius Caesar. But as soon as he was voted out of office, if you catch my meaning there, that Brutus charactor wasn’t so quick on the uptake and pretty soon the lack of leeches led to dissension in the troops and then all heck broke loose.

I don't want to say Ronnie is losing it.
But it sure sounded like he’d never heard of Casey Coleman’s dad, who was a contemporary of his. Sure, Joe Coleman was in the AL while Santo was in the NL, but Ronnie did play two games against him in his last season with the White Sox and he went 1 for 5 with a walk against Joe.

That play was painful.
I was driving through St. Louis and heard it from the Cards’ announcers.
Ya.
It must have been 3-2, ONEDEC ran, batter walked, ONEDEC overslid, and was TOOTBLAN’d.
Yep lead off the 9th inning of Cubs Cards game at Wrigley with the Cubs down
by one or two runs ( I have blanked that out) and took off on a 3-1( or 3-2 I can’t remember that either) , the batter walked but Cedeno OVER RAN 2nd and the evil troll got him. I think he had been waiting his whole career to use that one. Lou came out to argue but it did not matter. Instead runners on first & second with no outs the Cubs had a runner on first with one out. The next batter promptly hit into a double play and the game was over.

3rd catcher?
Assuming we go with a bench consisting of some combination of the usual suspects already discussed here… who’s our emergency catcher? Say what you want about Jake Fox, but it was nice having him on the roster for that very reason just in case.
The way the roster is shaping up now, the only one I know of with catching experience besides Soto and Hill is Marmol. No way he gets behind the plate. Anyone else?
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Wells used to be a catcher I think
