08/28 CUBS (Hammel) @ Los Angeles (Kershaw) 9:10 CDT, WGN TV

[Little Slide Rooter]

This team just doesn't match up well with any kind of left handed power arm; definitely need to upgrade with another RH bat this offseason. Denorfia is a decent player but having him bat 2nd is not a good situation at all

 

How is he decent? He's below replacement leve or slightly above depending on who you look at. And the only reason he's 0.5 wins above replacement on fangraphs is because of his defense.

 

He's a decent player in his given role as a utility OF. He was batting 2nd because we were up against perhaps the best left handed pitcher on the planet and somebody had to bat there.

I wish sontensei had waited a day to go nuts. This would've been a good thread for him.

Wait, did I miss a meltdown/banning?

Check out the gam thread against Bumgardner.

What if banning sontensei somehow threw off the balance of things and the Cubs are starting a death spiral that they'll recover from. What if that goofy bastard was some kind of cursed good luck totem. WHAT IF.

Oh man, didn't read that far since it had already been taken over by his idiocy.

 

Props to Hayduke for calling him a little doodle.
