    I do desperately want him to make it just for that sweet, sweet name alone.

    Me way back when Starlin first showed up: Me dealing with Nico today:
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Agreed. It would make more sense coming from an organization, like, say, the Cubs.

    Almost nobody ever brings up the horsefeathering black cat. Thinking it's dumb to show local food is dumb, and inexplicably acting like it's even in the same ballpark as how bonkers it is for a broadcast to be going on about horsefeathering voodoo and witch doctors when talking about New Orleans is one of the craziest damn leaps I've ever seen here. The L is cool and good, it's cool it goes right by the park, and only complete dorks call it the "El."
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Can we have a national Cubs broadcast without hotdogs, black cats or El trains Oooooof.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    "Mysteriously."

    My convoluted Cubs trade for Lindor plan just took it's first big step forward with Nico doing his thing tonight.

    The hero we need. I updated the list accordingly; we'll just move forward from your sport, so forgotmyoldlogin will be up next after this inevitable multi-game win streak.

    Not sign of jersey. Cubswin11 and Tman are next up.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    jersey, welcome back to the nightmare.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Start the next one.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Bird, go.

    Barring the juiciness continuing, Heyward IS a already a hole to fill. The dude got a reprieve from his declining defensive value because of the power boost. Work out ye olde swap a bad long term contract for a bad short term contract that's more expensive per year and be done with it. horsefeathers the Ricketteseseseseseses' money. Either you get rid of him or relegate him as a 4th OFer.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Good luck with that plan. Yes, if only we could find other examples of teams doing what needs to be done to dump bad long term contracts. SURELY IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    This is underselling his approach. He's cut his Ks again, walks a ton, and is hitting with more power...Without looking at anything else those are breakout ingredients Yeah, dude is hitting for the whole package right now. Not to harp on Heyward (well, no; let's harp on him), but THERE'S the guy clearly benefiting from the juiced ball and absolutely nothing else.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Like, why would anyone look at the Cubs OF and think that signing a guy like Castellanos should lead to them getting rid of Schwarber instead of getting rid of Heyward by any means necessary?
  18. Sammy Sofa
    My point is that while he's great at what he does (mash HRs against RH pitching), he has many flaws - lefties, defense, etc. "Besides him being good at hitting the prevelant type of pitcher in the game, he's simply not that good, you guys." And Castellanos is HUGELY worse defensively. And, since you brought up the PH nonsense, as a PH he has a .250 .294 .313 .607 line.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    You post this like those are good numbers. They're way better than Schwarber's. THEY'RE STILL BAD NUMBERS. And they're against the type of pitcher players see a lot more of, so how are you possibly seeing this as an argument in favor of keeping Castellanos and getting rid of Schwarber? Schwarber in his career against righties: .239 .344 .515 .859 (1435 PA) Castellanos, again, in his career against righties: .268 .315 .450 .765 (2718 PA) Unless you're buying in to some kind of Hendry-like idea that you need to try and make the team better at hitting lefties, what the hell are you even talking about.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Even Edith Cox would be embarrassed by worrying about PH numbers, B2B. What the hell.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    That all arguably applies to Castellanos, too, except against righties. I'd argue that there's a lot of unknown with Castellanos just with him not playing half his games in the cavernous Detroit park, especially with his penchant for doubles and fly balls that could turn into HRs. His away numbers in 1795 PA: .263 .311 .457 .768 He's cool and it's awesome what he's doing with the Cubs, and maybe he/they have figured something out, but signing him as an everyday player is taking a reasonably large risk, especially given the already shaky at the VERY best setup of the Cubs' OF.

    That all arguably applies to Castellanos, too, except against righties. Schwarber against lefties - .195/.306/.351/.657 Castellanos against righties - .268/.315/.450/.765 You post this like those are good numbers.

    I appreciate Sofa's level of fandom where he knows enough about the Cubs to conclude that they all suck, but just assumes there are infinite create a players in the MLB universe of every conceivable skill set ready (and available) to come in and fix all our problems. Me on baseball:

    Move Contreras to 1B, trade Rizzo for baller CF, thank me tomorrow.
