Wait, HAPP hit a dong? Now everything is suspect. -
Schwarber looking good in a wet jersey. Weird.

Great; how am I supposed to notice a game starts at horsefeathering 6:10?!? I missed all the good stuff.

Ugh, this nightmare still sounds like he's in a real bad way: https://deadspin.com/white-sox-reliever-danny-farquhar-is-in-the-fight-of-h-1825468317

Gigantic Willy Style - The Willson Contreras Thread
Sammy Sofa replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It's Darvish's 6th season and Contreras' 3rd; to paint it in REALLY broad strokes like it's potentially some raw-ass rookie just off the bus chewing out Nolan Ryan fresh off of his latest headlock is more than a tad disingenuous. -
Gigantic Willy Style - The Willson Contreras Thread

The obvious, glaring flaw in that (I mean, there's a LOT of them) is that it hinges on the idea that Montero was ONLY traded because of that one incident. -
I think the dude got screwed over playing in such a crazy offensive era; he ended up being overlooked and thought of as a utility-type player. And bouncing around as much he did probably helped foster that, too. That said, I was surprised his total WAR was so high. I was thinking 50+ instead of 60+.

Kenny Lofton = HoF? What say ye? Dude's unfortunately already off the ballot.

I guess that still could point to a concussion, and the symptoms subsiding and returning.
-
Also an understandable question this season. (The astonishing answer is: YES!)
-
I remember people complaining along those lines, like, "oh, now he stands too far off of the plate," whether that was true or not. I ended up just figuring the guy probably had a bad enough concussion and had to deal with the symptoms at least for the rest of the season (though didn't he get super hot again for a few weeks later that season, too?).

Great bat flip...all-time terrible name.

Nicely done, Rizzo.

So he managed to almost match the lofty standards of Tyler Anderson. AIM BIG.

No doom bonering here, friend-o; I don't assume terrible things are going to happen and am always hoping for the best.

Maybe I'm too demanding, but I'd prefer a Cubs starter to not only go 5.1 and give up 4 earned runs regardless of the stadium given how the starting rotation has looked thus far. It literally took a ball to drop that’s caught 99.99999999% of the time for the 4 ERs to happen. If that doesn’t happen he likely goes long since his pitch count is way down and the lead is bigger. I guess I'd be curious as to when you think a Cubs starter has actually stunk this year, or if there are always mitigating circumstances. "Just one bad inning, just a bunch of weak contact, etc., etc.."

I mean I don’t think that’s what people are saying. It’s just that it’s Coors, pitchers are going to struggle and give up HRs. They all count but there’s some context with them. Yeah, I wasn’t even saying it was because of Coors. I was saying people were getting really mad at him for giving up two solo shots as his only mistakes of the game. Maybe I'm too demanding, but I'd prefer a Cubs starter to not only go 5.1 and give up 4 earned runs regardless of the stadium given how the starting rotation has looked thus far.

Phew.

Almora running to anything is going to give me a heart attack at some point, I know it.
