Russell inevitably, unfortunately, returns to the team, and in his first AB he loses his grip on his bat and it goes flying into the stands for the bajillionth time. THIS time, however, it conks Tom Ricketts right on his gigantic coconut, and the veil between worlds is torn apart as we can't figure out who the hell to root for.

I sincerely think that outside of the Phillies, nobody offered him more than 10/300.
-
Coaches, FO and owners are all rotten to the core.
-
Oh, good; I can resurrect my popular "is Rizzo sick?" meme from seasons past.
-
Almora clearly sharted.

Personally, that's not true. horsefeathers, it would an insanely refreshing miracle if an abuser was actually upfront about what he did wrong and actually was sorry and wanted to be/do better and what he was actually doing/has done to be better. Not that it would absolve him, but holy horsefeathers, it WOULD make at least a bit of a difference. Dude, however, isn't even gonna sniff that, as per usual with these dudes. Would you have changed course on wanting him on the team? If so what would that have looked like? What you're describing would be better no doubt, but it's hard for me to imagine even a completely transparent and honest and truly rehabilitating Russell giving an answer that would cross that line for me. Especially given how much of the damage he inflicted was in manipulating his partners, the harm/apology/harm cycle, etc. Would I WANT him on the team? No. Could I somehow tolerate him on the team and not actively despise the organization enabling him? Probably. But we all know this dude is never gonna do something like that.

The only way that nightmare was any good is if it means he's medicated to the horsefeathering gills.

...long time. -
I guess I figured Baez would make some kind of Kenny Powers-esque debut.
-
Mna, it seems like pretty much everyone is there. Who have we not seen yet? Baez, Rizzo, Zobrist, Lester...Almora?
-
The only answer: Tim will do the right thing and start the appropriate forum so we can share links.
-
Quit trying to steal David's bit.

i always thought marlo delivered that line in a weird way He was a weird dude.
-
Happ's pissed he doesn't actually get any hearts.

I'm a complete horsefeathering Two-Face about how horribly glad I am that the Cubs have perfectly set up team options at exactly the right time for a a guy that is likely going to age into being a not valuable starting 1B pretty damn quickly. Which horsefeathering sucks, because he's Rizzo, and he's one of the (tiny)faces of the WS team and the franchise, and he's exactly the kind of guy who should harken back to the ye olden times of guys riding out most of their careers with the same club, but the Cubs are going to give him the boot as soon as it "makes sense" and never look back.

He, if that's what he is now, great. I don't think he is.

I was thinking more what was said on the previous page, largely because it's something I've been worried about watching Rizzo last season. After his horrible April, in which he played hurt with a bad back and went on the DL/sat out. He hit .303/.393/.512 with a 139 wRC+, .380 wOBA, 24 Dongs, 11% BB and K rates with a sustainable .300 BABIP from May 1 through years end. He was pretty much his same self after a bad and injured month. Overall offensive value keeps slipping year after year; slumps keep getting longer. It's great he has those surges to bounce back somewhat, but he's not that far off from just being a dude, unfortunately; that insane August OPS was sustained by a .333 BAbip, and he's not that kinda guy. I'm thinking about a 3-3.3 WAR next year is his likely best case scenario.

Well, no. But then that wasn’t exactly my prediction. I was thinking more what was said on the previous page, largely because it's something I've been worried about watching Rizzo last season.
-
Is predicting that Anthony Rizzo, he of the steadily declining offensive production, will continue to decline offensively really that bold a prediction?
-
It definitely has that feel, like things are on the downslope. 84 wins. To be clear, I do not agree with this
-
this is the most insanely privileged horsefeathers. ok guys sure we entered into a billion-dollar agreement that will help enrich an alt-right propaganda machine but they probably wont do propaganda on our channel so its cool right "Look, we acknowledge that we're doing business with a monster made completely out of feces, but look at these other things the feces monster owns and how little of the feces you can actually smell!"
