lmao so someone fucked darwin barney on purpose lmao

[Cubswin11]

What's the maximum amount of time a guy can be on paternity leave? Hopefully they've told Barney to take the max time.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Great, one less name that Javy has to remember.

[CubInOK]

Al Contra is good enough for Javy to remember. Javy would never get Barney's name though.

@ESPNChiCubs: Just talked to Alcantara. Says they called him in after the game and he didn't know what was going on because it was a "crazy game".

 

@ESPNChiCubs: Said he's a little in "shock." Understands it's just for two days. Big smile and congrats from Iowa teammates.

 

We all were, Manny. We all were:

 

@ESPNChiCubs: Sep note. Manny told me he was hoping to manage after the ejections

 

If it's truly just for two games, it's pretty pointless. May as well just send over Watkins or Valaika. Unless paternity leave is code for go have fun while we try and trade you.

"Hey Javy, I'm Darwin Barney"

"Hi David Brownstein, nice to meet you"

 

*points over towards Rizzo and makes a face like "What's that you got there?" and walks away*

lmao so someone [expletive] darwin barney on purpose lmao

 

He drives in babies with the glove

[Hairyducked Idiot]

lmao so someone [expletive] darwin barney on purpose lmao

 

He has separate gloves for batting and baserunning, but he couldn't be bothered to have a glove for this.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I kinda like the idea that if you are Javy's minor league teammate and not a top-50 prospect he doesn't bother to learn your name.

 

That awkward moment when Logan Watkins and Chris Valaika realise that they're not amongst the future five.

I like your take better. Kudos.

I'm picturing Javy introducing himself to Vitters and Brett on a daily basis.

[Clem Fandango]

John Vittrel and Brent Johnson

[Hairyducked Idiot]

He tells them his name, and when they start to respond he just laughs and says "it doesn't matter" before turning and walking away.

Soler did end up pinch hitting and drew a walk.

 

Gleyber Torres hasn't played in two consecutive games.

The visual of Javy doing that made me laugh

[jumbo]

He does have a relatively big wallet

Rickey Henderson style. Walks up to Olerud in Toronto (I think) and says, "Hey why u wear a helmet on defense? This dude in New York used to do that too."

 

" Yes Rickey, that was me."

 

Rickey is a Hall of Famer so [expletive] teammates if Javy is that good.

Yeah, that was who I was thinking of. "Hey man, ain't seen you in a few days.....Rickey, I got sent to the minors 3 months ago."

Not as exciting as The core four/future five/sexy six or seven, but this guy seems to be doing well for himself in the VSL:

Wladimir Galindo 17 years old (DOB 11/6/96) 159 PA .296/.367/.547 7HR 13/38 BB/K

 

Never heard of him, came to this when I googled him:

[Guest]

He just calls people what they look like or for things they've done.

 

Lake is Guy who Can't See so Good, Olt is Plop, Arrieta is Charles in Charge, Schlitter is Dirty Jesus, he obviously will think Coghlan and Ruggiano are the same person and will cause a few problems, Jackson is Black Dracula, Schierholtz is Guy who never takes his hat off, Barney is Samoa Joe.

We talked about him in last year's IFA thread a bit. We don't have a bonus yet but he was well thought of by Mayo at least, so he probably got low six figures.
