I mean, you kinda can. Sure, it's not like this outcome for Schwarber wasn't something people were calling, but it's still disappointing relative to what plenty of sensible people were predicting/hoping for out of him. Plus when you bundle it up with how you have a bunch of guys doing varying degrees of worse and Freakshow Baez as the only person who jumped forward, it's a tad worrisome for a team hinged on so many players who weren't supposed to be hitting walls like this so soon/so dramatically (Kyle's "hitters suck as soon as they leave the womb" school of thought aside).
Pretty much. And given that I think the playoffs version of the 2018 Cubs is going to be a desiccated plague corpse, I'd ESPECIALLY prefer them to get rolled by literally anyone besides the Brewers or the Cardinals.
My beautiful big toothed baby boy back in the lineup. Dude is out for blood after his amazing grand slam was negated by the rest of these useless turds. (Oh, Christ; they can't even win games Caratini hits a GRAND SLAM in)
Isn’t it adjusted for position? There’s only like 4 qualified catchers and he has the highest OBP of any of them and like 2nd highest BA. I have no idea, but I guess that makes sense. Man, 17 seconds nailed it: catchers stink.
Like, FG is going to have him end up being almost the same value fWAR-wise as last year, even though they have his defensive value ending up almost exactly the same, while his offensive value has completely cratered compared to last season. How the horsefeathers does that work?
