The 2018-2019 Cubs Offseason Rumors & Discussion Thread AKA The Rickettssss take a dump on EVERYTHING

[Cubswin11]

So nobody needs to give clicks. Theo literally said this about KB in the article

 

”Given what we're trying to accomplish, it would be virtually impossible to envision the deal that would make sense to move them. I just don't believe in untouchables. Why limit yourself?”

 

So it was the old, player wasn’t listed as untouchable so they must be making him available click bait article.

Not exactly. There were "sources" that the Cubs had expressed a willingness to trade Bryant, *then* when asked about it, Epstein gave the generic "nobody is untouchable" quote.

 

How serious is that willingness? Nobody really knows either way.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Theo/Jed says something or indicates something we like = 100 percent telling the truth.

Theo/Jed says something or indicates something we don't like = Not true. Just playing around. Going to sign Bryce soon.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The important thing to remember is that every offseason report that contradicts anything we assumed we knew before the offseason is obviously wrong.

Yup. You can decide if you want to trust Buster's sources or not, and the headline for sure is a way to get people to read (the horror), but not sure there is any incorrect news here.

[Brian]

If they said Bryant was untouchable under any circumstances people would react negatively as well.

Don't be willfully obtuse, it's a really bad look.

BDB/PWC's doom bonering game has been highly underrated here since like 2015...maybe because it's always masked/softened with something like "but I don't know as much as you guys so I hope you're right" or "don't get me wrong, i really want < good thing> to happen, but"

This is obviously just the part of the movie where our protagonists seem down and out. Training montage coming up!

 

Nagging, career-curtailing injury immediately follows.

or we could go with:

 

prior rolling around on the ground grabbing on his shoulder

 

sammy's helmet exploding

 

d-lee's wrist

 

nomar grabbing his crotch

 

kb's slide (did we actually see this happen?)

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah. It was weird:

 

[The_Achiever]

I still don't believe the slide excuse for KB. His swing has always looked ouchy for his front side/shoulder, with that high finish on balls he doesn't make contact with.

 

I don't know what happened with the two-handed finish, I like that much better.

You don't even watch baseball anymore until the playoffs because you're too cool, so I don't give a horsefeathers what you think.

you've confused "don't really get emotional about a game" with "don't even watch"

 

i'll have you know i wasted plenty of hours watching regular season cubs in 2018

[Ding Dong Johnson]

you're not a true fan until you've thrown your remote and broken your tv

[Sammy Sofa]

"I sit there like a robot watching my favorite baseball team a LOT" is kind of a complete self-own, unless it was intentional, in which case: nicely done.

[Sammy Sofa]

Does it count if David does that because the TV tried to steal his lady (the Instant Pot)?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

You can 100% tell how things are going for the Cubs by how many pissing matches the board gets into.

I love David the Robot, you jerk.

I broke a cell phone during game seven and almost did after bears Packers this year. I'm not a sane person.

To add to this, if the Cubs could horsefeathers up 1/16 of the season in one night I would be just as crazy as you guys in those threads
