showing up on web gems highlight reel once in a while doesn't make him more boring.

You know what's boring? Conversations about what players are boring.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

you're boring

[Omar]

In international news, boring, boring, boring. I'm incredibly boring. Do you know who's boring? Me. Boring, goring, zoring, loring, doring, noring, foring. Why haven't you changed the channel yet?

“If this particular group of youngsters were in a different organization that had a greater need right now, you’d probably hear a lot more about these guys,” Maddon said. “But the fact that they’re stuck behind a Bryant and a Russell and a Javy (Baez) and a Rizzo and a Contreras and a Schwarber, et cetera, et cetera, it becomes more difficult to really push or project upon these guys." - Maddon

 

Javy is a first name guy.

Maddon has loved Baez from day 1. I bet Baez is the emergency catcher because there's nothing he can't do defensively.

I mean yeah, he was. He will be #4 this year behind Schwarber if it were ever needed.

I honestly think I'd rather see Javy catch than Schwarber. Not because he would be better, but because of how fascinated I would be to watch him behind the plate.

 

edit: obviously not in a game that matters, but when we inevitably are blowing out the Reds in the middle of August, why not let him play all 9 positions?

The Cardinals would be even better. With the game ending on Javy throwing out somebody trying to attempt a meaningless steal.

Disappointed that that didn't turn out to be "how many dongs you got?" like I thought.

[jersey cubs fan]

did he say dogs or dongs?

Now we know what to name Javy's first 4-5 HRs, but we need some other ideas for the next 30 he hits this year.

Wait...what?

Wait...what?

 

They announced this a few months ago...he's getting a street dedicated to him in Humboldt Park. I thought it was weird as horsefeathers too. But then, it doesn't look like the bar is real high for those honorary street signs.

He's the only Puero Rican player on the WS roster, and Humbolt Park is a heavily Puero Rican area. That's the only real justification I've seen.
