    Fools, they don't realize necromancy only makes Javy grow stronger.

    I was super annoyed Friday night at the lack of scoring because it's a game the Cubs should have won. Yesterday ... not so surprised, I didn't like the matchup on paper and after seeing Kluber slice & dice in Cleveland. Tonight the Cubs should get the W and return to Cleveland to get Babe Schwarber back in the lineup. And yeah, they were talking up 'the Cubs can't hit curveballs' on the Score, I think. The Cubs will hit curveballs tonight. Go Cubs! Go Cubs!

    You are confusing lovable Latin players Maybe you missed the earlier post where i said I hope Baez contines to be Baez. I honestly thought Rizzo looked upset. But hey, i must hate Castro and even Aramais when they were here Lovable Starlin mirrored a Bryant throw to Rizzo.

    can someone put this in the OP just in case we really need it? I just tried to sign in just in case I needed to quickly tonight and it didn't recognize my username. You have to register there separately. If you think you might have used a different username and want to restore access, PM me.

    I mean that was a pretty poor showing by Rizzo. Rizzo : cement-footed :: Adrian Gonzalez: ??

    So, basically they don't need to shift because Javy doesn't need any help over there. Maybe you slide Russell over a little, where it is more likely that a ball will be batted. And that helps make sure there is no hole up the middle. But why would you ever stick a player next to Javy? Just let Javy be Javy. And if Zobrist is at second, it's basically the same thing. Give Zobrist his little zone over on the right side and let Addi handle everything else. We are good enough defensively that balls hardly ever get through the infield without a shift. So why stick all these guys with insane range next to each other? The ball isn't get past them anyway. I was glad he addressed this because you keep hearing on the national broadcasts (or home team radio during the season) how the Cubs shift less than any other team. Clearly the way they align defensively isn't accounted for (which is great, ASFAIC). The Lester anti-bunt-defense is a great example. The Pittsburgh announcers were completely befuddled by it (and Hurdle's challenge re Zobrist, I think at the time, needing to wear the 1Bman glove). The broadcasters ended up assuring each other that it was a play that Rizzo & Zobrist dreamed up in the dugout and that 'you'd never see that in a game that mattered.'
