    horsefeathers off Russell

    What a dumb horsefeathering sport. Happ and Willy hit those balls harder than Cervelli’s HR

    horsefeathers

    Nice sacrifice Almora
  5. Cubswin11
    Happ will be a better OF than Almora one day once he plays more since he can actually throw and run fast
  6. Cubswin11
    How wasn’t that caught. That stayed up forever
  7. Cubswin11
    He’s been bad for some time, it seems, after that stretch where he got hot to get his BA to ~.270s and OPS in the .700s
  8. Cubswin11
    lol he's doing this with a 3 percent walk rate, it seems impossible. A couple of the games I went to in Chicago were with friends who really don't follow baseball, and I feel like me trying to explain what a baseball mutant freak Baez is made me sound like a lunatic. It was probably the jeans in 80+ degree heat

    Cervelli hits a 310 foot pop up for a HR, Willy hits a piss rocket 400+ feet for a double. Stupid sport
  10. Cubswin11
    That’s a man’s Dong. Not some weak ass horsefeathers Cervelli just hit
  11. Cubswin11
    Thank god Almora is on deck to keep this rallying going
  12. Cubswin11
    On one hand it’s comforting to know Joe knows Almora sucks vs RHP, but on the other hand sac bunting with your 5 hitter in the 2nd inning is so horsefeathering dumb. Just stop playing him vs RHP
  13. Cubswin11
    Nice first inning, idiots

    The Cubs are on pace to get as much value from Bryant, Rizzo, and Darvish combined as Bryant provided, and they have the best record in the national league. right, no one is saying the cubs are actually bad or that the brewers are as good as the cubs are now because they traded for jonathan schoop, it's just that the reaction to the brewers moves now is bordering on parody. When the Brewers don't make an odd or bad move the move won't be made fun of

    Villar: .304 wOBA this year, .313 career Schoop: .306 wOBA this year, .320 career Trading for Villar for Schoop and moving him to SS is an objective downgrade, not just inefficient. Moustakas can hit better than the Brewers 2B, but Shaw is also high risk for being worse than expected at 2B, they gave up a nontrivial trade asset to make that happen, and there's also not a huge difference in Moustakas's bat and what you'd expect from an amalgamation of existing 2B options(never mind other trade targets). This isn't reflexive hating of a rival here, I'm the guy who was high on the Gerrit Cole deal, for example. That also illustrates that I might be very wrong, it's happened many times. But to me, trading for not good players so you can make your team's one elite strength actively worse is just dumb. What TT said

    It's almost like it's bad for a lot of reasons Or maybe, and I recognize this is hard to understand when you're still basking in that new middle-reliever glow, but maybe they just wanted to improve their team and it doesn't actually matter how efficiently they did it. I think I've made this clear, I really don't think they made their team any better
  21. Cubswin11
    The one with Manny Machado in it. this type of analysis is sooooooo bad. Whether or not they got Machado has 0 bearing on whether they improved or not, and people keep shifting back and forth between "actually it's bad because their defense got worse actually it's bad because it wasn't the most efficient use of their resources actually it's bad because ummmmmmmmm." It's almost like it's bad for a lot of reasons

    Also Schoop has one year of arbitration left and makes $8.5 million this year. Whatever he makes next year ($12-15 million??) isn't nothing for a lower payroll team like the Brewers. That's well over 10% of their payroll on him.
  23. Cubswin11
    I think they are similar, they get their value differently but are close. Especially if the comp is going to be Villar the 2B vs Schoop the SS. which IF do you prefer? Shaw/Arcia/VillarPerez or Moustakas/SchoopArcia/Shaw? Now put yourself in the mindset of a GM who knows the first one isn't good enough to win the division. I prefer neither, they are both bad for different reasons. They gave up enough for Schoop they should've just gotten Machado or Escobar or a real MIF. Villar is also a lot better vs LHP in his career than Schoop if they are going to do some weird platoon thing.

    Villar had a batter bWAR and same fWAR as Schoop this year You think Villar is a better player than Schoop? I think they are similar, they get their value differently but are close. Especially if the comp is going to be Villar the 2B vs Schoop the SS.

    I haven't really done that. I'm sure I made fun of them for not doing anything of substance at the deadline last year -- which might have been smart since they finished one game out of the Wild Card. But I thought the Yelich move was a great move. I praised them for it. I thought the Cain move was odd, since I thought they should have focused more on pitching. That move is working great for them now. But it remains to be seen how it will look long-term. Mainly I've been critical of him taking half measures. The galaxy brain stuff is normally reserved for their fans. But he's went full brewerfan.net poster this deadline. They went from Shaw/Arcia/VillarPerez to Moustakas/Schoop/Shaw. That's an upgrade no matter how much Shaw weighs. Put Shaw in the OF and Schoop at 2B when you have a GB pitcher on the mound if you're that worried about defense. Villar had a better bWAR and same fWAR as Schoop this year
