#Cubs' plan is for Contreras to gain experience, adjust to MLB environment, learn from Montero, Ross. Will be third catcher for now.

1st pitch Home Run!!

 

[Jaypers]

One Major League at-bat.

One Major League pitch.

One Major League homerun.

That sums up the 2016 Cubs.

Congrats, kid. :mrgreen:

Looking like a dream season for the Cubs...but it is the Cubs after all. What will go wrong this yr? Hopefully nothing, i doubt my Cards will catch them.

Now that the Cavs have a title, I think the cubs have a real chance

Amazing home run by W.C. He did a nice job of staying back on that change up, and then drilled it.
