the obligatory jason heyward is working really hard to improve article:

 

https://www.mlb.com/news/cubs-jason-heyward-working-on-swing-for-2018/c-266199328

 

When will these articles stop?

 

His swing is broken. He tries to fix it. Video comes out of new swing. Modest improvement and people start claiming he's "fixed". Starts to decline again. Starts to slump. Hits tons of grounders. Somehow hits a HR and then returns to slumping again. Has a bad year with momentary flashes of success at the plate. Tries to clear mind and make improvements to swing during offseason.

 

Wash, rinse and repeat...

Well, I was talking more about a specific filler article, like a really specific filler article that focuses on one player who happens to play for the Chicago Cubs.

 

I guess I never mentioned his name. Sorry about that lol. My fault Sammy Sofa :lol: ...

Either when he's magically fixed, or when he's no longer on the team. And then it'll be someone else.

FFS why can none of these guys take a decent photo?

You think it’s so easy to surreptitiously photograph a pitching coach as he furtively masturbates in public?

I dunno about other beat writers, but Mark Gonzales is especially inept at photography.
