    Imagine the meltdown here if the FO whiffs on both Machado and Harper. Forget heroin to the forehead; people are going to be swan-diving into vats of needles.

    Kyle Schwarber actually is what countless terrible Cubs fans (redundant) thought Sosa was when it came to "meaningless" big hits. Weird.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Good news! Williams has been pitching great in general for at least a month now.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    OK? Schwarber still sucked in these situations in 2015 and 2017, too. Yeah, it's great when the team isn't a collection of death by a thousand cuts like this year, but it's still an inherent flaw that can be exposed again if you've got guys who, pretty inexplicably, go to pieces in high leverage situations. Schwarber is a bat they're clearly relying on, and he's already pretty limited as to when it's ideal to play him or let him hit.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    I didn't. Oh, that's all they have to do?

    There's another guy have a good year? Give me some clues. Famously known for being the subject of the "Creepy Weirdo or Cool Dude" thread "Ben Zobrist: Creepy Weirdo?" is one of my finest threads that I completely forgot about. We really went through a whole dramatic arc in that one.

    I suppose that is possible, but when you get outliers like that, I think you have to start assuming that he has a different (and very bad) approach in situations with men on base and late in close games. Just as likely(if not more so), things that are inherent to high leverage situations are disadvantageous to Schwarber. He's more likely to draw a lefty reliever, he's more likely to draw a power pitcher(which he's historically not done as well against), things like that. One of the few dudes on this team that can dong is a strict platoon player who sucks in high pressure situations and whose value is arguably inflated by unexpected/likely unreliable defensive ability. This team is some kind of insanity test.

    Plus it would be pretty hard to ignore how almost everyone else has started pooping their pants.

    This feels like it's pointing towards their overall struggles with things like runners on 3B with less than 2 outs that have been going on for years now. Sure, there's bad luck and baseball being baseball involved...but there's potentially some kind of failing with an organizational approach in these areas. They're just such bizarre, glaring (and, in some cases, ongoing) outliers.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, a freaky weirdo muppet mascot should be the gold standard for ALL mascots.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    I absolutely think he's been playing hurt for a while. Every time he gets on base, he winces like he just did something heroic, even if it was just a single to right. Oh, most definitely. It's inevitable the dude is going to have some extended DL stints.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    The lower case names leads me to believe you're talking about actual tigers loose in a brewery, in which case I definitely agree with you.

    One benefit of early onset doom bonering is a quicker trip through the grief phases. I think I'm already at acceptance!

    Slap an "LI" on there and you've got a sad, sad stew going, baby.

    No, this one is better:

    AND....on top of all of that....the Cubs suck.

    Holy horsefeathers; I still thought the Cubs had only scored 4. I genuinely thought this was tied up.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Jesus Christ; stop being so weird about this.

    Whoopsy-doodle.

    To be somewhat fair to Carl, Gameday has him getting flat out robbed of striking out Frazier.
