  1. anyone that makes that swing should be immediately banned from major league baseball
  2. You shut your dirty whore mouth right now. Yeah Joe Mather was unfathomably sucky
  3. Whoa. He's like a reverse Bryant.
  4. There really aren't any underperformers right now though, aside from Heyward. Rizzo, Bryant, Zobrist and Russell are giving us what you could reasonably expect. Fowler, Ross, Sczcur and La Stella and several of the starters are probably *exceeding* expectations. Having no Schwarber sucks but the combined effort by the bench to fill in for him has been probably just as good as what he'd have pitched in. (Maybe better, which is probably not sustainable over the course of a season, but the same can be said for Heyward's production at the plate).
  5. It's extremely annoying that the Cards-Phils would be tied if Wainwright's bat didn't salvage his garbage pitching
  6. i wouldn't say either of those things I don't know why people would be upset with Ben Zobrist so long as he's OBPing between .380 and .390
  7. Amazingly, the Cubs didn't have a single 1-2-3 inning and in fact had the lead off guy on in 5 out of the 9 innings by my count. Incredible.
  8. I haven't been able to watch a second of the game but I'm laughing at this team going 3-18 with RISP and leading 7-2. Both for only batting .166 in such situations and leading so much, and also because we have had 18 at bats with RISP. This team is just absurd.
  9. letting go of Starlin is good and cool IMO Anyway it looks like the Cubs are up 5 late on their biggest rival at the moment so that's cool
  10. Surely the Cardinals start is the feel good story of the year?
  11. The rapidly aging corpse of Ben Zobrist already has a dong, so yes, I don't think its unreasonable to expect Heyward to have a dong
  12. Bryant always looks like he's a little embarrassed and shy about doing stuff the rest of the team does and it makes him all the more adorable :good:
  13. I actually don't think he looks *lost* at the plate. When I hear "lost" I think of someone like Baez or Soler who sometimes just comes up guessing and hacking at garbage and then walking dutifully back to the bench. Heyward's strike zone judgment is as good as it usually is, he's just not hitting much hard. In fact, paradoxically, I know they were talking about adding more loft to his swing this year, and honestly it looks like he's purposefully putting more on the ground (or maybe he's just late and on top of a bunch of stuff, who knows)
  14. This is the least favorable match up for the Cubs during this series so if they can pull this one out my minds on a sweeeeep. If Hammel can keep his homerless streak going I like our chances.
  15. ah jeez. come on dudes don't steal our souls right after lifting them up so much. Rondon, just K some fools ok? Thanks.
  16. well. Here's extras. I like our dudes better than their dudes.
  17. Stop bunting (Maybe he should maybe he totally sucks)
  18. Addison Russell is the 2016 version of 2015 Castro
  19. Wow that was a terrible time for his first strike out
  20. A terrible strike call and then a terrible bunt attempt
  21. How do you go 3-0 on Francoeur? How??
