2014 HR Derby Discussion & Transactions
Sammy Sofa replied to Southpaw191679666239's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Holy [expletive], I've never been in 1st. -
Are you talking about the graphics that start the broadcast? I mean...my 7yo notices that stuff, but I could care less about it. I remember the mid 80's openings too, but that's because I was 7yo at the time. So you care about it? But yeah, that intro is horrific. Even worse than that CSN intro from a few years ago with the SWINGBATTABATTASWINGBATTABATTASWINGBATTABATTA thing The current intro is so lame. Both the pitcher and the batter look like the same scrawny gritty white guy who should have washed out, and the "HR" looks like a pop up thanks to WGN's usual crappy graphics work.

NO. Just no. It's really not impossible to envision. It's more sad how many people just accept it.
-
Ugh, not sad or me at all; I can't wait until their cheap, low rent operation is long gone.

Good Lord, you're not kidding. -

They lured them into the studios with a 2 day-old plate of sandwiches. Then Tom stuffed the plate into Laura's purse. Only because he doesn't have any pockets on that barrel with suspenders that he's always wearing.

I'd rather keep the bitchin' offense.

Yeah, by then the Wrigleyville crimewave will have progressed to murders.

Eh. Partly it's because of how much I've come to hate the rooftops and largely because the stadium is facing the wrong way to have the skyline visible it just seems sort of...blah. PNC could literally not be more perfectly placed, so it's pretty unfair to really compare any stadium's location to it.

what a gorgeous [expletive] park, jesus christ Yeah, I miss being able to go to it more often. Easily my favorite place to see a baseball game. You can park right across the river and walk over the bridge and it's just [expletive] perfect. Meanwhile the Cubs get to come home to Fart City.

I've read it several times. I'll feel a lot better when he actually starts producing like that player. Until then I'm very worried he won't (at least not consistently). I think he'll bounce back, but he's not going to be the "perennial All Star" everyone was hoping for.
-
Consistently? I hope I am, but I think most of the time he'll be hovering below or above 2. Certainly could be a lot worse, but I think he's just too vulnerable against LH pitching and not damaging enough against RH pitching. He's just not the young Ryan Howard-type offensively where he can overcome how drastic his splits are. I know it seems like most here hate BR's defensive metrics, but I was thinking of their 2012 rating for him when I said that. I don't think he'll regularly be ranked that high, but I think his defense is more likely than his offense to sharpen up at this point.
-
I expect them both to be in the neighborhood of 3-4 win players and they really don't need to be more than that. That's not to say that, being good players, they won't have hears where they'll perform great (just like they'll have down years). I think they'll be lucky to consistently be 2+ win players, and a good chunk of that will be propped up by their defense. Again, not the end of the world in terms of general baseball, but kind of the end of the world given what the Cubs are trying to do; or at least a big ass tsunami to a bunch of the coasts. You can't honestly tell me that they weren't expecting/hoping at least one them to break out in a big way.
-
It's not even that I necessarily want Cashner back; I'm just very wary that Rizzo, like Castro, could very well not be the cornerstone players that the Cubs both really, really want and need them to be. It's appearing more and more like they're counting on their player development to pretty much break all their way.

If people bump a thread with "told you so" stuff? There absolutely would. Otherwise, you're right. Mostly because that stuff actually stays in the game thread. But also because we're not sociopaths. Holy hell, and I thought I was fast and loose with the hyperbole. Yeah, the response was brought on by this first game of the season, but it was yet another game where he looked horrendous (and not simply because he was facing a good one) against a LH pitcher, which has been an ongoing trend for over two seasons now. There's several threads dedicated to this player and none of them have been active lately because it's the beginning of the season.
