[Schwarber Fan]

Wada next time thru if we haven't acquired a starter by then.

[Guest]

The fact that Marlon Byrd is good is pretty annoying.

 

good thing he's not?

[UMFan83]

Guess we can't hold them under 3 runs every game. Step up offense

[Tryptamine]

Can we get the DH please?

 

That wasn't on Schwarber, that was just a shitty pitch.

[Andy]

Rephrase: The fact that he's doing anything remotely productive, after being a giant turd much of the time he was with us, is annoying.

Byrd put up 5.8 fWAR for the Cubs in 2010-11

[Andy]

Schwarber dong would be superb this inning. That stupid lineout he massacred is looking more annoying now

[Schwarber Fan]

Russell showing good signs last few games.

Byrd put up 5.8 fWAR for the Cubs in 2010-11

 

4 of those were in 2010 (admittedly had no idea he was that good that year), but combined after that he had like 1.5 over a season and a half. Still not great.

I was just about to say, he appears to have made adjustments/be locking in. I think we could see a hot streak out of him soon.

There's a wide chasm between giant turd and still not great.

[UMFan83]

[expletive] fowler you got the heart of the order up

[Guest]

i was about to make a post talking about how awesome fowler has been lately and then that [expletive] happens

[Irrelevant Dude]

How slow is Fowler?

[rocket]

The hell was that

[Derwood]

Fowler is not very fast for a "lead off" guy

[Soul]

Whaaa?

[Schwarber Fan]

Are you [expletive] kidding me???

Indeed, I'll make sure to go to Fangraphs before reflexively being pissed at an old ex Cub homering off us in the future

[Fro]

Reds announcers talking about how Hamilton is super-duper gold glove awesome for making that play.

[Soul]

Great play by Hamilton. Or, more likely, Fowler just sucks.

len and jd were gushing over it too

[Cubswin11]

He had the whole play in front of him too, he could've gone halfway to 2B and turned around and gotten back once he saw that was cut off
