horsefeathers the closer! -
you're a weirdo Yeah, I'm going to need a further explanation of why you'd rather they just lose.

Did Starlin Castro snitch on Tommy Birch about his affinity for hookers?
-
He's had a bunch of really big games, and then some long streaks of suckiness. But his big games are usually really big, so you just need to tune in for one of them.
-
But he went totally outside of the approach that is apparently ingrained into his entire being. See, I can do that dumb horsefeathers too. What?
-
BABIP revenge.
-
Hell yes!

Rizzo is so good. A sidearm lefty seems like a really tough matchup for him. Did it look like he backed off the plate there, too?
-
Strop's been looking good lately.
-
About horsefeathering time! Catch that you [expletive]!

horsefeathering 110 mph lineouts every inning with guys on base.

Time to do something against this scrub.

I, too, once thought Lackey was untouchable as far as being DFA'd. But we're at the point where we are 3.5 games out of first and pretty much just awful. Obviously it will take two additions: Hendricks and a trade. The first one to happen sends Butler back down, like it should. But, after that, Lackey has to go. He's just terrible. There's no hope of him getting better. He is a detriment to this team. Right now, we have no better options. But as long as we are in a fight for the playoffs, I think any nonsense about his personality, friendships with other leaders on the team, him being a veteran, and him being one of their "guys"... well, that has to go out the window with the situation we are stuck in.

[expletive] horsefeathering lineout.
-
You can complain about it if you want. But it really doesn't mean much to me. It's a small sample size. And it's fluky. And he's horsefeathering great. So I wouldn't expect it to be a thing going forward. Really, I see it as a sign that, going forward, things shouldn't be as bad as they've been, since I would expect his high leverage numbers to come in line with his overall numbers. And that will make the Cubs better.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 7-4-17

Schwarber with a walk and a line drive single to center. -
Impossible to make up 3.5 games with 80 left. I can't remember the last time this team has won 3 in a row. This team clearly isn't very good and nothing they've done has shown they can go on a run. Yeah, this team clearly isn't going on a run. I've admitted as much. As long as Lackey and Butler are in the rotation, that's just not going to happen. This team has been playing Javy and Almora against righties. They've heavily featured Candelario and Zagunis. This team is not good. Add Hendricks. Add another starter. Then you have what could be a good rotation. Hopefully get a non-terrible Schwarber back. Hope Zobrist is healthy. Hope Heyward can provide a little help with his bat. That team could go on a run.

People have been trying to poke holes in Kris Bryant's game his whole career. Can't play third. Strikes out too much. Can't mash lefties. Can't hit on the road. Can't hit in day games. Can't hit high velocity. Can't hit curves. Can't go the other way. Swings through too many pitches in the zone. Can't hit inside pitches. Can't hit outside pitches. He's generally been nothing but awesome and has disproved basically every critique about him. And he's made a lot of doubters -- ahem, Tony Massarotti -- look foolish. He's not a guy you need to worry about.
