Javy: The Only Cub That Cares

[soccer10k]

horsefeathers YEAH, JAVY!

[Regular Show]

Yesss!!!! BAEZ IS A [expletive] HERO! THANK YOU BAEZ!

[Agony and Ivy]

Someone mentioned wanting Mallee back a few pages ago, I wonder why nobody has hired a guy like Doug Latta (Justin Turner's private coach) to come on as an assistant.

 

Latta's secret is just PEDs and the Dodgers won't let him go

 

He worked with Mac Williamson this offseason. Did anyone hear ARod just openly admit Ken Griffey Jr and Edgar Martinez are stupid morons?

[OleMissCub]

Thank Christ and Allah and Shiva and Ronald McDonald

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Keep Javy. Kill the rest.

[Agony and Ivy]

Yes ARod, groundballs are the horsefeathering best.

[NotSoSober]

Javy has no idea who Mayers is

 

And to Agony & Ivy, I hear it now re Arod. HRs are an accident

Why are we supposed to care about or take anything away from 15 PAs Mac Williamson has had?

He did a hitting coach thing with someone earlier this year talking about how he should chop down on the ball. I wish Josh Donaldson would've overheard him and beat him to death with nothing but uppercut swings.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Buckle up.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

so many empty seats. are there Monday morning klan meetings?

[TruffleShuffle]

well, at least farrell is facing the absolute dregs of the cards' lineup.... can't give him a better chance of getting through an inning than this.

You can see how he completely changed his batted ball profile in the minors too. He used to be a groundball guy and now that he's lifting the ball he was a monster before he died with a concussion. He also has the 3 hardest hit balls for the Giants since the StatCast stats were public. And I'm not specifically talking about Latta, I'm just confused by why teams hire guys like ARod discussed. They never hit with the current approach when they played so it has to be hard to teach.

[SpongeWorthy]

i don't know if "hiding the ball" is a thing but farrell does it worse than anyone ive ever seen

[Cubswin11]

Is Butler ready to come back yet? Or who else hasn’t pitched in a while in Iowa (Tseng, Zas) that could be called up tomorrow for Farrell?

[Slugger_16]

A quick perusal of box scores show that the last Cubs HR with a runner on was April 20th (Schwarber 6th inning 3-run HR).

[TruffleShuffle]

jeez they must have a starter who can hit better than miles mikolas.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

I require sleep. This must end now.
