he jinxed bote but he did it the right way by exposing his flaws in a heat map -
u did it u broke max
-
shoulda known better than to throw him your league-best 97 mph tailing fastball in on his hands 12 inches inside off the plate you two-toned eyeball freak
-
beast mode almora
-
now imagine darvish coming back full health
-
hamels is so good lol
-
When Almora sees a high-velocity 4-seam fastball
-
Hamels on the mound looks like an athlete hamels at the plate looks like a mathlete
-
but almora got two 4 seamers last inning?
-
bill murray is going to commit suicide if he keeps having to watch this trash
-
at least it's hard contact. we've tagged scherzer before
-
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm sure Happ or Seal Boy would look great right now. the stupid cubs are so much of a percentage of your personality that you're looking up almora's exit velocity against 4-seamers so you can defend him batting 5th against max scherzer.

this is probably my subconscious talking but Javy looks like a man up there at the plate. like he looks like a large adult man
-
man come on lol

This is the thread where we talk about how awesome Kris Bryant is
imb replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
KB is having surgery? I just read he took “dry swings” with no pain, nothing about surgery my bad i meant shoulder *injuries -
who wants to tell him Go ahead those are rest-of-season projections
-
who wants to tell him
-
Since the all-star game Lester is 0-3 with a 10.32 ERA and a *gulp* 1.205 OPS against
-
i mean in the bad way not endearing way what im saying is i wanna hate him but as far as i know he's just a good player on the cardinals which tbh should be enough evidence
-
is there any evidence of carp being a jackass or idiot or anything
-
yep. hendricks has shown signs of life and as ass as Lester has been, he's still lester, maybe there's some tweak in there that gets him going. Quintana could wake up and Darvish could come back good and all of a sudden we have 4 good starters again.

i mean that quote was probably just the result of Bryant getting his first taste of mortality and trying to give a reporter a quote to work with but shoulder surgeries are not a joke. this isn't an ankle sprain. Go look at jason heyward before he hurt his shoulder and look at him now. -
looking back it's funny how much of this we could have at least squinted and seen coming Lester is old and has tons of tread on his tires, so the possibility was always there for the wheels to come off quickly (two car metaphors.) Like he's always been such a hoss that I never would have called it, but we all had to be aware the possibility was there. Hendricks was a finesse guy throwing 85 mph in his prime, so the odds of locking him in as a 4 WAR guy forever was unlikely. Darvish is a good pitcher and I won't deny that (and if he comes back healthy I think he'll probably be our best SP down the stretch) BUT this offseason when we went through that couple weeks where he was just sitting there on the market and we thought "well you know maybe we won't get him," I really did find solace in the fact that at least you could look back and see him getting completely shelled in the WS and convince yourself you don't want that guy on your team for 5 years. Chatwood .... was just never good lol. I mean like you had to go all the way to spin rate before you could find a metric in his favor. Quintana is the real weird one, but a bunch of 200 IP seasons in a row is always a red flag.

i just laughed so hard lmao

Because our opening day starting rotation right now is clocking in at $27.8 mil per war. Thankfully Hendricks has righted the ship a little recently because his per dollar (team-leading 1.5 WAR for rotation-cheapest $4.17 mil) really skews the figures. Because without him we'd be paying nearly $57mil/pitching WAR. what im saying is we're fucked
