Yeah, benching a guy who hit two huge dongs and looked really locked in just because it's a lefty on the mound is peak Joe "smartest guy in the room" garbage Keep Schwarber locked in a strict platoon...but will find tons of excuses to fit Almora in there no matter what.
Though it is sadly hilarious that, much like the surge in dongs, this super pitching appears to be something the Cubs were somehow missing out on. (Cue some jackass with stats about how the Cubs' strikeout numbers were actually amazing last year)
It's butt, because signing a baller hitter would ideally give the Cubs at least a bit more freedom to maybe work out some kind of a trade for a non-butt pitcher.
Yeah, so many key parts of the pitching equation was handled along the lines of, "older pitchers with obvious issues who will be a year older and we'll just hope they figure it out and/or don't get hurt."
Why are there zero Cubs in any of these various commercials on the MLB app that are packed with players from around the league? I mean, I guess I'm mostly just wondering where Baez is.
