  1. r u telling me they had bases loaded no out and they're about to not score any runs
  2. He really, really was. I didn't think hitting coaches mattered that much, but he's sure making me think they somehow do. Or they don't, but he's just the one really bad exception. Same. I was always in the camp of “hitting coaches don’t matter”, but, it’s hard to say that is the case after the day and night job by our roster with almost no changes in personnel
  3. Baseball is back baby, it’s good again, awoooo (wolf howl)
  4. almora hitting a dong there actually makes me hate him more *provided we still lose
  5. 8th in wRC with runners in scoring position 3rd in high leverage situations GIVE ME THE NUMBERS FOR SQUANDERED LEADOFF DOUBLES, YOU DICKLESS APES. I am petty, and I demand my rage be verified. I've seen 4 of them wasted in the tiny sample size of games I've watched, so yes, I assure you with the power of my large galaxy brain, that you're correct
  6. except he was drafted by Epstein. Yes, exactly, that was the point of my post
  7. Albert Almora is bad in a way that a Jim Hendry guy would be bad. He swings at everything, grounds out, and sucks.
  8. Am I allowed yet to be angry they've gotten 2 men on in the last two innings and scored no runs? I just want to be mad about something
  9. Guys I think Jason Heyward May actually be good This has got to be the longest stretch of being even decent right?
  10. At least Joe recognizes Almora cannot lead off. It’s too bad he isn’t where he belongs (in triple A)
  11. Albert Almora is really really bad He was bad last year and they kept fuckin hitting him lead off
  12. Can’t we offer Tyler Chatwood to R’hllor, the Red God, for favorable winds and the favor of the One True God?
  13. I didn’t say he was one of the best, but he is average and has had an above average season. Stow your argument away, it’s materially and objectively wrong. You said " he’s solidly average or above average defensively". Neither is true. I repeat what I said before, he is playing LF because the NL doesn't have a DH and LF (or 1B) are the places you hide big-time sluggers with defensive liabilities. No you're wrong. I mean you're just totally wrong by all measures of man and god Provide the numbers that say the opposite or go away
  14. This is a crummy way to lose the win streak (I guess there’s no non-crummy way to lose a game)
  15. I don’t care what the numbers say, I don’t care if there’s “evidence” to the contrary, the Cubs are the worst team in the history of sports to score after a lead off double
  16. I liked Darvish better when he was an injured unknown Now he’s alive but sucks, which is worse
  17. He’s not one of the best but he’s had several seasons to prove he’s solidly average or above average defensively. You should drop this point of argument because you’re losing it. He’s totally fine as an outfielder. Schwarber has worked hard to be an OF, has made good progress, and he has a very strong arm for a LF, but anyone who thinks he is one of the best or above average defensively is delusional. I didn’t say he was one of the best, but he is average and has had an above average season. Stow your argument away, it’s materially and objectively wrong.
  18. Kyle Schwarber is one of the best LF in the game defensively and you don't know how to evaluate talent as well as you believe you do. If you think Schwarber is one of the best LF in the game defensively, then you REALLY don't know how to evaluate talent. He’s not one of the best but he’s had several seasons to prove he’s solidly average or above average defensively. You should drop this point of argument because you’re losing it. He’s totally fine as an outfielder.
  19. I haven’t checked his numbers but I really hate this Brad Brach guy
  20. I know it’s Hendricks up but get some runs you worthless shits
  21. When is Rizzo gonna dig an April/May hole so deep he can’t get out of it with an above average season? These starts keep worrying me. (I know we’re still below 100 PA)
  22. Baseball has been upgraded from “bad” to “mediocre”
  23. Friendship ended with Rizzo and Bryant, now Descalso, Heyward, Baez and Contreras are my best friends
  24. I think the Cubs should play the Marlins every day
