Why are you this way? -
So many fat babies in this thread today. Relax.

Could be.

As much as Rizzo did, though? I get what you're saying, but those were some pretty drastic changes. Kris Bryant is a pretty good example. Fowler last year made some significant changes IIRC. Hell, the whole team has drastically reduced it's strikeout rate from one of the highest to one of the lowest...that's not just Heyward and Zobrist. Right, but again, Rizzo seemed to have to COMPLETELY change his approach. I think THAT'S what a lot of us have come to expect or hope for, at least in terms of how "easy" it should be, as opposed to guys tweaking just part of how they approach an AB.

I get what you're saying, but we've had a lot of these stories. They tend to come with good coaching/player development, something we never really had so we were blind to how much of a difference it could make. I'm definitely guilty of it.

The hell you don't. Creep recognizes creep.

Though now I'm retroactively pissed over the especially unjustified game 1 loss.

in ST maddon told reporters that he calls lastella 3AM because he could roll out of bed at 3AM and hit He's covering up the shameful fact that Tommy is Matchbox 20's #1 fan.

Oh yeah, that's the good stuff.

In the 6 games against the Cardinals in September 2015, the Cubs went 4-2. Those 2 losses were both games started by Carlos Martinez, although I will say in neither game was he particularly great. He's never lost to the Cubs as well. Was Martinez the pitcher in that awful game at Busch last year when we scored like 5 runs in the first and then lost? There's no way such a game happened. Why would your brain be so cruel to you and actually remember something like that?
-
I think it's that on the same team we have someone like Rizzo, who did seem to alter his approach pretty significantly. It often fairly or unfairly paints the expectations for other young players to be able to do the same.
-
Yeah, from a super simplistic standpoint it feels a lot like when Castro would show "more patience" when all that meant is he was literally going to take some pitches no matter what and then start flailing to stay alive as opposed to actually seeing the ball well or better.
-
I feel like TT does this no matter where he is every time you bust out one of these soul-crushing La Stella factoids:
-
And then he just stared, unblinking and unmoving, at the reporter until he awkwardly backed away. Addison needs to be wearing one at all times to cut down on that potency.

"Help me, Manny Ramirez...you're my only hope..."

You mean like this? http://nypost.com/2016/05/24/silent-matt-harvey-confirms-hes-the-phony-mets-have-enabled/ Holy hottest of hot takes. That headline alone just blasted my face like I was looking at the Ark.

Won't it just be the usual handful of suspects being especially annoying?

I'm not messing with success; I downgraded his thread title and he started sucking less.

No, Molina has not been "the #1 reason they've dominated this division since he got to the big leagues." Albert Pujols MIGHT have had a little more to do with that.

Holy horsefeathers, this game is on already?

THIS IS THE WORST THING EVER.

john lackey sucks and we were always right to hate him
Sammy Sofa replied to treebird's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
We really could blame him for it all, because of Schwarber. Had Schwarber been playing the last two weeks, he probably would have donged like 9 times. Sounds good. Let's go with that. When everyone else was wishing Schwarber the best, Lackey just waited until they were alone to do this: http://i.giphy.com/ytwDCy0RqT6G9gJgME.gif
