What in the world just happened?

My guess is a hamstring explosion.

[CubInOK]

Make Knebel throw 40 pitches in this blowout.

Knebel leaving the field unable to use his left leg will have to work.

i wonder how something like that feels. if i twist my ankle very slightly, i turn into a giant baby.

So Hader for closer now for the VBs

[NotSoSober]

Eddie Butler has been a very pleasant surprise thus far

[entbird79]

Cubs looked great after their mental break

[Omar]

Rain to the rescue once again

Why the he'll did Counsell put in Kneubel?

he's going to opt out

 

honestly like wat kind of season would it take?

 

if he goes .300/.390/.500 with good for him defense (say 20+DRS), does he opt out?

 

.300/.420/.550?

 

obv i'm just doing this for the fun of talking about it bc there's not a chance in hell

Honestly I think he could get top 5 MVP votes and still not opt out.

yeah i'm not sure there's a season he could possibly have even on trout or harper WAR levels lmao

[ScrubMD]

My vision is a fixed Heyward in CF, Schwarber/Almora in LF, and Harper in RF.

I pulled mine while running the bases in high school... Fell down immediately and had to crawl the last few feet to the base. Couldn't do any type of running for a week or so, and then for the next month or so it still hurt to run. Stabbing type pain after the fact.

So much shade. They should have included a picture of their closer writhing in pain lol.

He'd have to have two solid seasons, right? One's not going to be enough. But if he put up back to back .290/.360/.490 type seasons he might opt out. But even then I think it would depend on how the free agent market goes next season. If there's another offseason of only the top handful of guys getting big deals, he might not feel like it's worth the risk.

that braun caught stealing was incredible on the brewers broadcast.

I’d prefer the main account not play in to this and just ignore it for the silliness it is and leave it to us message board underlings to make fun of

He had to think fast to come up with an excuse for the Heyward dong.

Yeah there’s no chance he opts out after the year. He’d have to put those numbers up the next two years and opt out a year after next.

 

Edit: I was at the game tonight and it got me thinking that I saw Heyward homer in Miller Park in 2016 at some point and saw one again tonight. I've seen 10% of Heyward's HR's as a Cub in person in about ~10 games I've been to in person since 2016...... so I have that going for me, which is nice

[WoodRules]

i wanna see what schwarbs looks like without a shirt on, i bet it's hilarious

 

 

[Thurman Merman]

I don't think the Brewers will be too worried about their closer going down. They've got the best 6 through 8 closers in the league.
