Josh Hamilton's last 2 months..

[StarlinOnYou]

Does anyone have the ridiculous stats since around May/June - AVG/OBP/OPS and how significant they are? I know his hitting streak recently ended, but he is still on fire.

 

He was hitting .265 after April and is now posting a .339/.385/1.001 line.

 

Pretty incredible run he is on.

[17 Seconds]

Since May 18 (not including today's game) he is .406/.439/.731 (172 PA)

[Keener98]

And Hendry traded him for nothing!!!!!!

[CyHawk_Cub1679667117]

And Hendry traded him for nothing!!!!!!

 

HaHa!

[RedFlash]

And Hendry traded him for nothing!!!!!!

 

I know he had no intentions of keeping Hamilton, but that is a horrible decision he made.

He didn't really make that decision, though. For the gazillionth time on this board, he agreed to trade the pick to the Reds BEFORE he even knew who the Reds wanted. He would never have stuck with the Cubs as a Rule 5 pick because the Cubs didn't have room on the major league roster for another outfielder.

Why let facts get in the way of the Hendry bashers.

[SouthSideRyan]

Can everyone please stop talking about him being MVP

I feel like I'm Kurt Russell in Big Trouble in Little China and you're all Lo Pan

He was the Dennis Eckersly of the 2000's. Hendry didn't know that he was completely off clean and had his life back together, just as the Cubs didn't know if Eck was off the booze, even Dennis admitted to it when he said he "didn't blame the cubs for trading him."

 

Just like the 80's I wish we had Eck after we traded him and josh now

[jersey cubs fan]

He's hardly "completely off clean".

WHAT.

[Tracer Bullet]

[jersey cubs fan]

It'S not a debate.

This is seriously the best joke account I have ever seen on any message board ever, you guys.

So obviously you have little knowledge of cubs history then, nor the understanding of temperament of people with an addiction.

 

If you are going to throw out a combative statement without support of why you think I am wrong then just don't post a reply.

 

or go back to the Cubs message board

You're all twisted... he's not just insulting you because he thinks you're incorrect in your assessment (though you are), it's that you're perpetuating the myth that Jim Hendry let Josh Hamilton slip through his fingers when it's been clearly documented and proven God knows how many dozens of times over the last several years that the Cubs had no intention of even using the draft pick, let alone use it to draft Hamilton, nor did they know that Hamilton was the selection the Reds were going to make. They struck a deal with the Reds beforehand and did what the Reds asked them to do. Because of this, he is in no way comparable to the Dennis Eckersly situation of the 80's, because Josh Hamilton never spent a single day as a Chicago Cub. They didn't trade him because of his baggage or his reputation, they traded him because that's the agreement they struck with the Reds before the draft even happened. They had absolutely no intention of keeping Josh Hamilton because they had absolutely no intention of using that draft pick for themselves. Is it that hard to comprehend? Also, comparing Josh Hamilton's situation to an alcoholic in the 80s? Really? You could throw a can and hit a baseball player in the 80's who was on something, it's not very common for a baseball player today to be addicted to the things Hamilton was addicted to. You could make a Who's Who list of players in the 80's who were addicted to drugs or alcohol.

And Hendry didn't have to do the Reds a favor and making that pick, either.

[Bote McBoteface]

But regardless of that fact, Hamilton was never going to be a Cub. It is a moot point.

I'd love to get $50K for doing a favor.

And you know the inter-working of Hendry's mind now. the baggage is/was the most obvious reason he was gone before he got here.

[SouthSideRyan]

Oblivious

Oblivious

At this point, that's a compliment. I'm going with dense

[expletive] really? At this point you're starving for attention, there's no way you could be this ignorant regarding the matter without intentionally doing it to annoy people
