Murphy is a horsefeathering wretch of a human being, and he better make up for the garbage horsefeathers right the horsefeathers now.

 

That's a start you miserable sack of horsefeathers.

[Sammy Sofa]

Man, they have to win this. I intentionally am not going to any of these games so as to give them their best shot. WIN, DAMMIT.

[TMan92]

I would walk Zobrist

[Bryants Disco Ball]

He a FA after the 2022 season

 

You're going to have to show your work on that one, fella.

FA after 2022 would mean he has 4 years left, I have no idea if 2022 is the year but 2019, 2020, 21 And 22 is 4 years.

 

It would be. But he's a free agent after 2021 just like a lot of our guys.

 

I am willing to be corrected, but I'm quite sure I'm not wrong. I hope I'm not, at least.

Earliest FA 2022

[Bryants Disco Ball]

That was such an amazing at-bat.

[UMFan83]

Zo is pretty much the only Cub I am comfortable with batting in those situations. Maybe Murphy too but mostly Zo

[Sammy Sofa]

Alright, that's something.

 

Hey, Kris; we miss you, buddy. This would be a good time to come back.

Right. Which means he's a free agent after 2021.

 

Listen, I look at the dude's stats all the time and cry. This is his fourth season. His first season he played 142 games but it didn't "count" as a year. So this is his third full season. You get six and then you're a free agent.

 

You don't even have to apologize when you realize I'm right, because it means he will be off the team sooner than later.

On the plus side, this is probably it for Strasburg. 90 pitches at least and he’s up 2nd next inning. Hasn’t gone over 100 in any of his three starts since returning.

[UMFan83]

Brilliant move to walk Bryant to get to the 4 pitchers

[Sammy Sofa]

What is Almora did something amazing here?

[raw]

Pinch hit

[chibears55]

I like the potential of this lineup top 5, obviously it alot better if Bryant starts hitting again..

Then add Heyward in the 6th slot, makes it even deeper

[Bryants Disco Ball]

What is Almora did something amazing here?

 

Then he wouldn't be Almora.

[raw]

I can't get this game to work on ESPN+, but did Almora just let go the only strike thrown in that AB?

[UMFan83]

I like the potential of this lineup top 5, obviously it alot better if Bryant starts hitting again..

Then add Heyward in the 6th slot, makes it even deeper

 

 

Why Heyward? He has like a .650 OPS since June

[Sammy Sofa]

Pinch hit

 

Seriously; any particular reason to not use Happ there?

[Sammys Boombox]

Too bad we don’t have anybody better than Almora to hit behind the OBP machine that is our top of the order right now.

Yeah, the best lineup possible was the one from yesterday. It's not our defense lineup, but it's our most potent.

[chibears55]

 

It would be. But he's a free agent after 2021 just like a lot of our guys.

Sorry but youre wrong..

 

He becomes a FA in the 2022 offseason, not the 2021 offseason..

 

Hence Earliest FA 2022

The 8 best hitters on this team are easy to distinguish from the remainder. (excluding Bryant's current injury) Edited September 7, 2018 by UK

More like .675-ish. Gross, but still much better than Almora. That said, I'd rather have Schwarber there.
