Wtf does that pose mean? It's been spotted on the MLB roster as well. I'm sure it's cool, but I'm not [expletive] cool enough to get it.

 

Pretty sure it's something Bonifacio brought in. Don't know what it really means though.

 

Here it is:

i really like it, if only for how much starlin seems to hate it. anytime he slides in for a double, it's always *get up, dust yourself off, straighten your socks, REALQUICKBONIFACIOSIGNAL, pull on the buttons to straighten my jersey, clap your hands, look in the dugout to make sure you're not getting yelled at for not doing the thing, adjust your helmet, ready to run the bases*

Here you go:

 

 

I fully admit that the meatbally side of me <3's these dudes (no that's not weird at all) and is convinced they are going to be awesome despite the fact that I'm fully aware of prospect attrition rates and that in reality the numbers are really against them all being good. But [expletive] that it's more fun my way.

Someone find a giant version of that photo for desktop purposes.

[A New Era]

Is it time for someone to write a meatball article about how that pose is going to be a "Cubs thing" and it how it just happens to coincide with the Cubs starting to win and to be a part of a "winning culture"?

 

Oh no I can feel the meatball sensation sorta tingling inside.

for some reason I remember it starting with the Marlins, and some team got annoyed about it because they thought they had stolen it. weird [expletive].

[RammyFanny]

Lol, Yeah I've had those load as just a blank spot every now and again (on my phone though).

His bat speed is nuts. I'm surprised people don't project more power for him.

He is a much bigger guy than I had thought. On that note, it's interesting how the prospects we have now all look like badasses, even Alcantara for his size.

[Guest]

Both Russell HR:

 

LF didn't even move on either of them.

Ive seen people say he has major pop for a SS. Read in at least two spots right after the trade he could potentially get you 25 to even 30 hrs.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

He has more HR/PA the last two years than Vogelbach, while younger and at higher levels.
