    And "it's only April22nd/been X number of games" doesn't count, dammit.

    Off days are boring and stink, so I'm placating myself by checking out the Cubs' individual splits on BR. Almost everyone is looking pretty, pretty, pretty, pri-tay good in some way...except for Bryant. Someone smarter at baseball than me make me feel better by pointing out some things that I'm missing when I end up bummed out by consistently mediocre his splits seem to be so far.

    That Cain contract is going to age incredibly poorly for the Brewers. He’s 33 and he’s got three more years and $51M left after this year. Even if the Cubs got 2018 Adam Jones OPSing .732 and playing a bad right field, he’d be pretty easily worth the $3M the D-Backs are paying him just to get Almora’s bat out of the lineup. People do this all the time: they love to point out that the back end of a contract could be ugly but completely gloss over the fact that they're possibly going to get surplus value on the deal by year 3. Last year he was 6.9 bWAR and 5.7 fWAR and this year he's added another 1 to each of them in the first 6th of the season, so he's well on pace to do that again. That will cover the 80m contract and then some if he gets to 12 WAR. Who gives a crap about what happens thereafter. Yeah, they're getting what the Cubs were desperately hoping they would get out of Darvish's deal. It really doesn't mater if he sucks the last year (or even the last couple years) of the deal with the pace he's playing.

    Fowler is such a nice guy he even helps out opposing pitchers trying to hit a home run:

    You wanna get nuts? LET'S GET NUTS. Tyler Chatwood finishes the season with a better WAR than Bryant.

    Holy horsefeathers; this thread horsefeathering exists.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Three horsefeathering kids already? What a lunatic.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Ditto.

    Is it irony or coincidence that it's now Cubswin11's turn?

    Way to swing at a bunch of garbage, Rizzo.

    QUALITY START STILL IN PLAY.

    It feels like a variation of Marmol's downfall: once the fastball command goes, people realize very quickly you don't have to swing much at everything else.

    Off the bat, the crowd seemed to think so. Then were disappointed when the shortstop caught it.

    Bryant's gonna get one of those runs back this inning. PRINT IT.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Alright, just put that pu inning behind you, Yu.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Descalso, you slowpoke goober.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    I'm gonna be positive for once and declare that Darvish will still get at least a QS today.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Oh, horsefeathers; I was thinking it was for five and how bad THAT was.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Ye gads. Easily Theo's worst Cubs signing.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Schwarber heard Backtobanks.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Also: Bryant's spot in the lineup is like when Weird Science screeches to a dead horsefeathering halt so Anthony Michael Hall can riff to a bunch of old blues musicians with his "black guy voice." Yiiiiiiiiikes.

    Bryzzo after Bryant lured Rizzo into his weird Mormon version of a slumpbuster:
