time to turn your season around Heyward
-
Ha that went from 'routine fly' to 'omg its carrying' to 'omg its a HR' to 'oh crap an out'
-
Come on Dex, pretend like you are in Colorado and its April 2015
-
That T-Fed AB yesterday was worse.
-
That not not a great AB by Javy. There are certain ABs where the pitcher is one step ahead of him and he struggles mightily.
-
Oh Javier
-
please homer Javy
-
Please let this dude keep pitching!
-
We've already failed to score runs against pitchers just as [expletive]. No. we haven't. These guys are nowhere near that bad. The difference between a newish pitcher with a mediocre ERA who most guys have never seen before and an old pitcher with a terrible ERA that hitters have seen a ton of times is significant.
-
Can you imagine making that same comment in like 2012 when they were both All-Stars?
-
T-Fed, Ross, Miggy and sadly for now Heyward are 4 guys I'd want Jorge up over in that situation. I'd definitely take Montero over Jorge and probably Heyward too if only because anecdotally he seems to actually make contact more often, but really, we're comparing rotten apples to rotten oranges at that point. This is not based on any statistics, all antecdotal, but I feel like Miggy strikes out in those situations a lot. I guess Jorge does too, but for whatever reason I trust him a little more

SEE? This is the horsefeathers that I'm talking about. Calling a game over when the best team in baseball who has scored the 2nd most runs in baseball and who tied up the game against the closer about 13 hours ago, still has 3 outs to work with? Stupid. Cowering at the idea of your 28-11 or 29-10 team having to play a good but lesser team on the road with the reigning Cy Young winner and Jon horsefeathering Lester going the first 2 games? STUPID
-
Well I mean I would agree regardless of the result of this series.
-
I want 2 of 3 from SF this weekend to maintain our streak of .500 or better weeks

Is Rizzo really that much slower than Javy? Uh, probably? He may be but I think Riz is rated fairly well as a baserunner overall.
-
Everyone knew the breaking pitch was coming except Jorge
-
dammit Jorge, should have swung at one of the first 2 strikes. Damn breaking ball
-
Ha. I don't think Javy would have scored on it either, but I could be wrong.
-
Or get super clutch sexy Addy up
-
Come on wild pitch or single Jorge
-
Man you can totally see the Cubs not changing their approach (rightly so) trying to work the count and make good things happen, but their damn pitchers seem to consistently be painting the outside corners of the strike zone and are getting called strikes, forcing the hitters to get more aggressive and chase. Bryants AB was exactly that...2 called strikes on the outside corner, and then swing at a ball 2-3 inches farther outside than the first 2 pitches.

I spent the better part of a decade being a meatbally idiot and got called out on it constantly. I think I just developed some perspective and realized that absolutely no one wanted to read my posts when I acted like a nitwit in the game threads. Why contribute something on one wants to read? It comes down to the fact that you are emotional about a sports game and you have to let your frustrations out somehow. So do you really want to be known as the dude who can't keep their emotions in check while watching an early season baseball game rooting for a team that has the best record in baseball?
-
Why don't you just yell into a pillow if you are that unable to restrain yourself from emotional outbursts during sports games?
