i don't know why you're suddenly dismissing javy's 2019 just because his damage came early in the season. he was worth 4.4 wins last season in 138 games. with his defense and positional value, i have a lot more confidence in javy being a good starter going forward. even before he broke out offensively and was still at 2B, he was a 2-3 win player.

24th in team batting average

Figured we’d lose with Lester, but it sucks to lose like that. Hopefully Jon can give us a couple more starts like that. Please be better Offense and Ross.

I’m not dismissing it or saying he’s bad. I’m saying 2018-early 2019 (looks like May) was the only time he ever really was elite. There’s a lot of other data saying that’s not likely the player you can expect him to be. Imo. Bryant was still better in 2019 and while a 4.4 win season is really good it’s not superstar good. 2018 has been the only time Javy has been in that 5+ win close to top 10 player in baseball group.

 

I’d just bet on KB for having more value over the next however many years by him not needing to be a crazy athlete to derive value, being able to be an average to slightly below defender at a few spots (3B/RF/LF/1B) and his approach (even including the injured 2018/2019 years his BB/K, plate discipline, batted ball/contact numbers have stayed pretty consistent and at elite levels in some spots with the only outlier/drop being the power dip in 2018 due to the injury and defense dipping a little. Everything else is remarkably consistent) vs Javy and his unique approach (it’s hard to find many comps for his profile having success at elite levels for extended periods) and needing to remain a better athlete (staying a plus defender, base running, bat speed, etc).

fuggin classic cubs. cant wait to see what kind of nightmares unfold tomorrow and sunday as they begin their quest to finish behind the brewers yet again

 

Why are you even here? You clearly don’t like the team. They do nothing but annoy you. If you’re just going to come here after they lose and do your usual “the Cubs are blowing it again” schtick, just go away.

 

I promise I wont post after a single loss the rest of the year if the cubs win a single game this weekend.

 

I don’t mind complaining after a loss - everyone is going to do that. It’s the nature of it that’s annoying. Like they lose a game and all of a sudden they’re going to get swept? I mean, it’s obviously possible. But it’s just as likely the Cubs win the next two games as lose them. Just like it’s possible the Cubs don’t win the division. They’re in a good spot with 15 games left and hopefully they can do enough to close it out.

the door is still open to trash the cubs after wins

You’re definitely more than welcome to trash Ross after he makes his next terrible bullpen decision that costs us a game.
