No Vitters! WTF?

Please tell me you're kidding. The guy is 5 for 54. OPS of .292. If he's not in the lineup everyday, they're working with him to where he can be in it and deserve to be in it at some point.

Wow I was butchering the pronunciation of Bianchi's name in my head when he was the member of the Cubs 40 man for a few weeks last offseason.

Starlin's approach at the plate looks so much better lately.

Beast Jackson: Walk Machine.

 

He's doing it just to spite Kyle.

[davell]

Really pulling for Brett.

Roughly 20% of all actions taken worldwide are for that purpose. I have far-reaching effects.

Wood probably gives up another, i dunno, 5 runs today with Vitters at 3rd

 

i lost track of how many good plays Valbuena made tonight

[Schwarber Fan]

Axford couldn't close a door against anyone else this year...

 

sad team is sad.

 

Glad I missed most of this one.

Rizzo 0-4 with 3K's today. OPS down to .771 for the season now.

 

He's hitting .233/.283/.282/.565 in August (27 games, 113 PA) with 3 XBH (1 in his last 18 games), 26K with 9 walks.

 

For an unfair comparison, his OPS last year (in 49 games) was .523.

 

Despite the extreme negativity from me in this post, I still believe in Anthony Rizzo, but I'm a bit disappointed with how he has played since his hot start.

I kind of hate the PCL right now.

I guess the joke wasn't so obvious.

[sneakypower]

so all of your posts are jokes?

[C.C.]

Just the ones you don't get.
