  1. Though those 18 games in Sept/Oct. are actually what salvaged those 2nd half numbers from looking even worse. Go figure. Maybe he needs his mutant lumpy spine.
  2. I don’t think it came out until after the season but basically he was dealing with a back injury for a good amount of time and playing through it, iirc, sometime in the second half. Tracks with this damn org. Ugh.
  3. I don't remember either (SHOCKING). But as with Bryant, historical injuries with the Cubs don't do much to make me feel better in terms of hoping they'll get better.
  4. Second half of 2018 Kyle: .221 .323 .417 .740 BAbip: .272 tOPS+: 80 sOPS+: 103 wOBA: .304 wRC: 20 wRC+: 89 Take your pick. THE TREND OF STENCH CONTINUES.
  5. And he'll still be mediocre at best at 111 games this season.
  6. If he was on a team where he didn't have to be in the field, sure. I don't mind the Cubs having him around as a bench bat/sometimes platoon guy...but it seems more and more like the ship has sailed on him being any measure of THE guy like they had hoped out there. I'm just saying, if Theo and co. are determined to have these Frankenstein's monster-lineups, I would have preferred something like having to juggle Schwarber, Bryant, Baez and Machado between LF-3B-SS than what they're stuck with. Stupid greedy team.
  7. The window where his numbers were "great" was due to an even tinier sample size than the one you're griping about people reacting to. 3 games in March: .417 .462 1.000 1.462 11 games so far in April: .125 .205 .200 .405 He's projecting to be lucky to be a 2 WAR guy out there. He wasn't good in 2017, and his 2018 value was bolstered only if you go by Fangraphs' VERY generous appraisal of his defensive ability, which is looking more and more like something he would have to be able to sustain to justify keeping him as the main LF guy.

  9. I am doing that towards the idea that a sentient canned ham should be indefinitely automatically penciled in as a corner OF for this team because of what he did 3 seasons ago, and regardless of how he's performed since.
  10. It's jersey's time on the block.
  11. PS: thank goodness the Cubs don't have that good player, and instead have a bunch of cheap guys of wildly varying states of ability and health. Like, why bother paying for the steak when you can have 4-5 cheeseburgers that have been sitting in a bag in the back of the car? It's not like they were in the sun being down on the floor like that, plus it's been pretty cold!
  12. Zobrist got more than Hendricks That was back when the moves Theo made more often than not turned out good. After he was replaced by a lookalike in June 2017 everything “Theo” does seems to backfire miserably Everyone thought the mustache "disguise" was sooooooooo cute...
  13. It's insane how so many guys on this team just completely meltdown on gimme RISP situations. For horsefeathering YEARS now.
  14. This gigantic bust is one of the main reasons the org acts like they didn't need to sign Machado or Harper.
  15. What a pair of absurdly hapless AB at the end there. Schwarber is horsefeathering terrible.
  16. Can Schwarber become the hero and drag his BA back above the Mendoza Line?
