The thing I hate about a Schwarber Soler quasi platoon is that there is no good way to combine their names to sound cool like Bryzzo.

 

So I can't say "Cubs best lineup minus Schwarler/Solerber"

[Sammy Sofa]

Schwoler is perfect. It sounds like some kind of fancy boner.

[tfarks]

What's the enunciation there? I'm reading it as Schwo-ler. Which I think is great. Based on your boner reasoning, I'm guessing you're saying Schwoler like bowler.

First one reads the same as the second one to me

[Schwarber Fan]

Why would it be anything but "Schwo-lair?"

 

And secondly @ UMFan, how was that not the obvious mashup?

Basically what was said above Schwo-lair. Instead of just ler, like bowler, you need the inflection.

[Sammy Sofa]

You guys overthink these things.

[Cubswin11]

Hopefully that Jeimer stock keeps getting pumped up for a mid season trade

[Schwarber Fan]

You guys overthink these things.

 

Schwarber's name is pronounced "SH-WAR-BUR" and Soler's is pronounced "SO-LAIR"

 

"SCHWO-LAIR"

 

Why is this even a discussion?

[Sammy Sofa]

Probably because I brought up boners and boners are distracting.

[David]

i don't get as excited for spring training broadcasts as much as i used to but for some reason i find these espn ones fun

 

maybe it's the fact that they're night games and i have a game to come home to after work

[jumbo]

you mean "JAY-MAIR?"

[UMFan83]

Jake not looking super sharp in his dress rehearsal game.

 

He's hitting his spots though which is all I think anyone cares about

 

Edit: or not

[UMFan83]

Wow Jake pulled after 1/3 of an inning and 34 pitches

[treebird]

someone post the dog in the fire

[Wilson A2000]

Jake has a blister problem? Not good.

[UMFan83]

Its ok just a blister. I'll take that reasoning

[David]

damn blisters

[Bote McBoteface]

Blister issue! Whew!

[jersey cubs fan]

Let me go on, big hands, I know you're the one.

[David]

Jake has a blister problem? Not good.

 

among problems jake could have, i'll take this one. he's not ismael valdes.

[Gilby]

I'm reminded of one of JD's great jokes from last year when Jake had one of his rare bad outings and he said it was Jake from State Farm pitching, not Arrieta.
