6/22/19 Mets (Wheeler) @ Cubs (Q) - 1:20p - ABC7
BigSlick replied to Derwood's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I can’t really be too mad about the Juiced Ball because the Cubs have been a primary beneficiary of it. The Cubs more than most teams depend on the home run to score runs. The Juice giveth and the Juice taketh away -

I’m 90% sure every Cubs game this season has started with a solo dong by either the Cubs or their opponents -
you better score some runs you idiots
-
hes' having a brutal year but he gave us a bunch of great innings the past 2.5 years, so he'll be dear to me forever i think joe maddon should just be fired for this game. its not his fault, but he's managing it really terribly
-
while you're at it, can you DFA brad brach as well
-
theo should really just DFA descalso to keep him away from Joe. like, no one should be played as often as this guy is for how bad he is
-
lmao whatever
-
i'm gonna be totally honest: yu darvish is a better hitter than daniel descalso
-
ok, bote, you dont need to combine with Yu to make this a disaster inning. just get out of it so i can stew in my resentment alone, corbs
-
lmao come on darvish this is becoming a joke. you aren't contractually obligated to give the lead up every single time the cubs take the lead
-
lock it down corbs if you dont allow them to score any more runs, you win the game. consider this, when you go out there again
-
dong this fool Javy
-
Death to Umpiring ( i have no idea whats going on i'm listening to it on the radio)
-
Darvish giveth, Darvish taketh away, Darvish giveth AGAIN, lets see if Darvish taketh once more
-
Me, casually checking the score while at work: What the horsefeathers, Darvish

"Time makes fools of us all" - The Kyle Schwarber Thread
BigSlick replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Schwarber has basically stabilized at where he's gonna be as a hitter, I just want him to unleash the Dong and have a career year where he hits like 50 fat dongers -
Looks like Adbert through 4 very solid innings, good horsefeathers
-
The Cubs are fun when they hit
-
Looks like Manfred is now acknowledging that the ball is juiced [tweet] [/tweet]
-
I’m pro moving them to Montreal and changing their name to the Expos, I’m anti whatever this is
-
Not that anyone could predict his year, and not that he would get starter at bats and etc etc but if we swap La Stella for Descalso we’d be 2.5 games better than we are right now
-
Agreed, the offensive numbers would be fine if we were getting Jason Heyward, shut down outfielder. But his FG defensive metrics have taken a nose dive pretty much since he signed with us. 11.3 in his last year with the Cardinals, then 9.6, 2.8, 0.7, and this year at a -3.3. For comparison, Franmil Reyes, who looks to be about 275 pounds, is at a -2.8 playing full time in right field this year. I’ve had concerns about Heyward as a regular CF, I hope he hasn’t lost his corner outfield play too. According to Fangraphs UZR, he’s a -20 run Center Fielder if you extrapolate his season there to 150 games, while still a plus 5 run corner outfielder
-
It’s weird, Heyward is having a relatively Ho-hum season, but adding another 20-30 points to his OPS like he’s done every successive year as a Cub. He’ll run into a home run every week or so. By the end of the contract, who knows, he may break an .800 OPS
-
When was the last time Descalso had a hit? April?
