Heard this posited today, and given his leadership, defense, and calming effect on the staff, I think there's an argument to be made. Thoughts? I realize it would be historic, but this was an historic year.

Yeah. I know everybody loves everything Cubs. But it's not like he's the only catcher that has a good influence on the pitchers and/or team. And there a lot of them THAT PLAY EVERY DAY.

Ya know when people will realize that Ross didn't mean that much? When the Cubs win 105 without him next year and Lester has the same stats.

Wait. No. Then people will say the Cubs catchers learned from Ross. :roll:

10 years from now Ross will still be given credit for the Cubs winning in that 2026 season.

I'm not trolling. Think about the impact he had for the greatest staff in MLB history. That has to count for something, and you'd be hard-pressed to argue that he's not more valuable than any individual pitcher.

He played in 67 games this year. I'm sure not all of them were starts.

Who gets credit for the other 95 games? I'm sure you'll say it's still him. Just by being there in the dugout.

Plum spelled backward is mulp. The sound it makes when you eat one and realize what the hell you just ate.

This is really running head to head with IMUs crowd estimate for Worst Thought To Come From A Cubs Fan From This World Series.
