    Most Terrifying Slash Line

    Yeah, what makes me pause are my, admittedly, unfair expectations for Schwarber and Heyward going in to 2016, plus the assumption that godmode Jake was going to still be a thing all season.

    Schwarbs just skipping kneeling during the anthem and going right for the good stuff.

    God, that seems like horsefeathering forever ago.

    Awww, I thought it was going to be the crazy "Cedeno is the next Jeter" talk that I don't think was actually a thing. And I'm pretty sure the only reason I didn't post anything dumb in that thread was that I was very confused as to why everyone was getting so heated over Mike Carp.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    I don't specifically recall the Harper comparison, but I believe it happened. Folks here were (understandably) really high on Castro and made a lot of optimistic predictions that he did not fulfill. One I recall is that Castro was "guaranteed" to be the next Jeter. Something along those lines. We said the same thing about Ronny Cedeno.

    I'm hopeful but not optimistic. I guess that was literally ten years ago tho. Hopefully there are fewer idiots. Kyuji Fujikawa Tsuyoshi Wada Munenori Kawasaki Koji Uehara The Cubs have had quite a few Japanese players since Fukudome and fans have behaved. Come on, clearly we're talking about different circumstances in regards to all of the hype around Fukudome and a guy like Darvish vs. a bunch of dudes. Nobody was ever going to be selling t-shirts for Uehara outside of Wrigley.

    Hopefully a lot of the fans have grown the horsefeathers up since the Fukudome days.

    When will these articles stop? His swing is broken. He tries to fix it. Video comes out of new swing. Modest improvement and people start claiming he's "fixed". Starts to decline again. Starts to slump. Hits tons of grounders. Somehow hits a HR and then returns to slumping again. Has a bad year with momentary flashes of success at the plate. Tries to clear mind and make improvements to swing during offseason. Wash, rinse and repeat... Yes, when will filler articles about spring training ever stop. What a debacle.

    I guess it's pretty easy to just be declared an "Asian analyst" for a major network: https://deadspin.com/nbc-apologizes-for-calling-japan-an-example-to-korean-1822906236

    yeah, agreed. would it make sense to do a 6-man rotation every other time around the rotation? Pitchers like to be on a set routine, though If wishes and buts were candy and nuts. CHECKMATE.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    I really hope they do something along these lines to give Darvish and Lester as much extra time off between starts as they can.

    It's just going to be leftover pizza crusts, 2 day-old 7-11 nachos and dry cereal.

    Odds that Jake is the one that says he'd rather stay home? His heart's just not into it without his little seal friend.

    Then slap some spoiler tags on that thing, you galoot.

    Well, now you'll never have to travel far without a little Big Star.

    This is some...interesting math. Just depends how much weight you put into raw ERA... About as much as raw milk.

    Man, you could say the most hurtful thing in the world so long as you always follow it up with a Van Hammersly gif.
