    Respectfully disagree, given the relatively uncharted territory-nature of his success. That's not saying he's likely to fall off of a cliff, but I'd be pretty surprised if he was a 4-4.5+ WAR player on a regular basis, if even just or how his style of play has a good chance of landing him on the DL and/or declining sooner rather than later.

    Everyone knows how well Zobrist has done this season. He's also going to be 38 next year. At the very least his playing time is likely to decrease. Hell, there was also plenty of talk of trying to move him after this season in anticipation of just getting some more money off of the books BECAUSE of how well he had been doing this year, and that's pretty much out the window now.

    He had to do that this year to keep this team competitive w/o Bryant. He will not do that next year, but Bryant and Harper will make up for it. "..had to do"? It just seems like his style of play. He's always been a bit of a magic-show infielder and is being watched for that far more this year I think. Dude, he's not being valued more simply because more people are paying attention to him.

    I'll take the hit if Liam doesn't want to go.

    This feels like a HUGE unspoken thing; how many people actually think Baez: Baseball Freakshow is a realistically sustainable scenario? Outside of the general miracle of him being who is, it's double miraculous he's been able to stay healthy given how banged up his style of play must leave him. People seem super casual about him taking over at SS and that being set for the forseeable future, when that doesn't seem like a sure thing at all. It's crazy the Cubs went from, "LULZ, what are we going to do with all of these baller middle infielders?!?" to, "holy horsefeathers; our MI is the bizarre baseball monster that is Javier Baez and the corpse of Ben Zobrist sometimes," in, what, less than 3 years?

    This is a good thread and is the kind of reporting that will net this young go-getter the first of many Pulitzers.

    Or they just can’t hit offspeed pitches. Which is what was happening in 2016 and then they tore off a couple games with a ton of runs. It all comes down to tonight. We also need Yelich to be intentionally walked a lot. Maybe it's a matter of the greater good.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Some combo made out of pretty much anyone they would have wanted outside of Bryant. I firmly believe they didn't really try and probably didn't offer anyone worth a damn besides Schwarber. I will indeed harp on this FOREVER.

    Maybe this needs to happen. Maybe the bizarre wrongness of a truly dominant Cubs team unsettled something in the fabric of reality, and the ripple of chaos energy is what tipped things in favor of Trump winning. Maybe if the Cubs go back to their hilariously inept ways starting off with an epic collapse, then things can start healing.

    Since the pain is likely to keep coming fast and furious, Liam Neeson, be ready on deck after Andy tonight.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Oh, you sweet summer child. Nothing ever leaves the internet. NOTHING.

    He’s begging their loser fans to show up this weekend because they haven’t been the last few home series Meanwhile, here's the Cubs and their fans:

    this actually exists? Are you asking if WGN actually created this testament to Cubs sadness? Yes. Yes, they did.

    If the Cubs blow this, the next headline you write better be, "DYLAN SMELLS," so we can all say, "awwww, but I already knew that."
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Theo should never be allowed to forget not going all out to get him.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    The Cubs are going to lose 5 games in a row. I can feel it in my bone.

    Five reasons why everything bad is even worse now:
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Meaning he can host that segment of the TV broadcast once his baseball career is over within the next year or two?

    SOP for Chicago crowds.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Hell, I can't wait for next year; I'm tired of this broken down mess of a season, and I'm thinking it's gonna get a bug up the FO's butt to go nuts in this offseason. No screwing around with cutesy project players or wack-ass platoons.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    When you have to reassure people that the team is fine something, like, 58 times over the course of the season, maybe there are some actual problems there.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    That's not funny at all.

    Kintzler's in; Joe's giving up, too. Time for bed. Andy, you're up to do tomorrow's death mar-, er, game thread.
