Schwarber: Fully torn ACL and LCL. Out for 172 meaningless games.

I think we need a thread title change but not sure to what.

 

"Is exit velocity useful?"

 

"How much money will the Cubs make when they charge $6600 a ticket???"

Kyle Schwarber's Exit Velocity is So Great The Cubs Are Making 1/4 of a Billion Dollars a Game in The World Series

The concern about his running on that double seems really silly to me. He said after his last game that he was just there for the ABs and running wasn't even a worry. The fact that he even bothered to go to second says enough to me.

 

Yeah he made into second base just fine when I saw that I wasn't worried at all. It showed he could do it when it counts so that's good enough for me.

Yup and even went into a foot first slide with no hesitation/sloppiness and looked completely at ease doing that tells me all I need to know.

Shaddup, Tom. Go back to your hole before you get salted.

Schwarber's knee is fine; I think too many of us were scarred by Derrick Rose's body being inexplicably made of lies and Popsicle sticks.

I'm not wrong. Not being able to win a popularity contest be damned.

 

Not wrong about what? Questioning whether hitting the ball hard is useful?

Schwarber's knee is in such great shape, he'll make it all the way home before his 27mph dong lands.

Is that the narrative we're going to be running with? I guess I should not pretend to be surprised.

 

Hey, just looking for clarification here.

Literally lold at this

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Also, and it's hard to believe this needs to be spelled out, exit velocity is a measurement of how hard the ball is hit, which can proxy to how well Schwarber is timing pitches in the AFL. If he had gone 2 for 3 with a broken bat single and a bloop double, that'd be less positive than his actual result of a hard hit groundout and a double down the line. Or in other words, exit velocity is simply putting a finer point on the eyewitness accounts talking about Schwarber grounding out sharply, or smoking a double to RF.

I really wish Grant was a Cubs fan and Al Yellon was a Giants fan

[Sammy Sofa]

Maybe Otani has a shockingly weak exit velocity and it's keeping Tom up at night.

Definitely.

i wonder how many other teams have at least 3-4 blogs that are objectively better than their SB Nation guy

"Is exit velocity useful?"

 

A second completely unnecessary post that is not intended to do anything but bring about unnecessary confrontation.

 

horsefeathers the heck off

[DurbanJer]

Ugh - going back to the Game 1 WS thread.

 

Schwarbs in the WS is going to be the best news I've hears since, well, Saturday!

Not many. I think Yellon is so inept that you could probably select a dozen or so posters off of this board who could do a better job. BCB is a joke.

I think that was actually his brain and not his knee that is made of Popsicle sticks.

Sure, but he kept actually breaking, too.

[BigSlick]

It's crazy how excited I am about this. Schwarber only has 21 career MLB home runs, and yet I'm confident he's going to add to his Cubs career postseason record. He was my favorite player last year, just a pure joy to watch, and that swing is *kisses fingers* violent and sweet at the same time.

 

I guess I have to buy my second shirsey of all time.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Tom, exit velocity directly cooperates to a percentage amount of each ticket sold in stub hub. The faster it comes off the bat, the more money Cleveland makes.

 

 

Does that help?

[minnesotacubsfan]

It literally had nothing to do with homeruns regardless of what statcast tries to tell you

We should start a site where we write articles about the Cubs! Too bad there's not already an established site out there that will let us do it so we have a built in user base :(

 

Wait a minute.... OH SHI
