Ben Zobrist: Righteous Dude

[David]

Zobrist is cool as [expletive], mojo, you stupid idiot

 

Broken, possibly drunk David is the best David.

 

not even a little

[Sammy Sofa]

Then get back on the case before I get IA on your ass.

[Sammy Sofa]

i didn't notice Zobrists nearly tearing his ACL rounding 1st after the HR. Settle down, killer

Speaking of possibly drunk.

[Thurman Merman]

Point towards not creepy weirdo: he did not mention God once in his on field post game interview.

 

My wife and I did have a good time making fun of his wifes music last night though, which was described as Christian EDM.

[Sammy Sofa]

Christian EDM.

He gets on base at a ridiculous rate. What else do you need to know?

[Sammy Sofa]

It feels like people are confused:

 

I have no problem with Ben Zobrist: useful player, but I'm kinda weirded out by Ben Zobrist: possible psycho loner. Given that is a team filled with lovable miscreants and scalawags, is he really as quiet and relatively removed from everything as I think he is? Prove me wrong by posting examples of Ben Zobrist being a cool dude.

 

Feel free to start another thread that is about Ben Zobrist's adventures on the baseball field; this is the one about trying to find out whether or not he's a creepy weirdo.

Doesn't help. Someone living at the highest point...awesome. Someone living at the furthest point...creepy weirdo nobody wants to hang out with.

So he might be a Yeti (not our yeti...or is he) or the Unabomber?

Ben Zobrist is a cool guy because after this

he didn't assault the umpire.

[badger]

Wow is that potentially the worst strike call in the history of the game?

[Sammy Sofa]

Woof. I forgot how horrible that was. The ump even apologized for it.

[Derwood]

was Frank Drebin the home plate umpire?

[Bull]

I love how Nathan can't even believe the call.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

was Frank Drebin the home plate umpire?

HEY! It's Enrico Pallazzo!

oh my god

 

oh my sweet jesus

 

that is the worst call i've ever seen in my life, watching that caused me physical pain

[rocket]

tbh if the cubs win the world series and zobrist is the mvp i'll get baptized in whatever weird church he belongs to

[BigSlick]

In a totally fun but apropos of nothing note:

 

Ben Zobrist finally got his slugging above his on-base percentage, for a very respectable : .261-.377-.413 line and a 113 wRC+. He's also on pace for 120 RBI which is hilarious.

 

Anthony Rizzo is on pace for 162 RBI lmao

[Inlearningmode]

Talk about turning the other cheek

[Aaron_Kennelly]

So this weirdo is pretty horsefeathering good, huh?

[Sammy Sofa]

It's pretty great! If only he weren't such a creepy weirdo.

[Guest]

Zobrist is a member of that Duggar religion.

 

But on the normal side, he pilots motorcarriages and collects dog excrement. He will also accompany you on the clavicord while you sing.

[Sammy Sofa]

Dude, he's not part of that Quiverfull madness. Don't scare me like that.
