If you throw it way outside 4 straight times, Javy just has to swing at 1 of them -
I will never get over how hilarious that play is. Dude looks like he's inventing a new dance move out there.

It's annoying as hell that Bryant is just chilling in the clubhouse getting in the way of the 25 guys who are trying to win today. He should be out in Arizona rehabbing.

[tweet] [/tweet] I don't know who this makes less sense for, the Brewers or the Reds

Yeah...well...my small sample size is clearly far more meaningful than your small sample size! I dunno...he's not good...I just feel like he has a chance to do positive things on a semi-regular basis this year, where I didn't feel like that in previous years. The only thing hes really done positive over the last 30 games is timely clutch hits, which is great he seems to be better at that than others even though its really hard to prove clutch is a thing. But since you said positive on a semi-regular basis this year, here is his OPS by month: April - .734 May - .705 June - .873 July - .660 August - .644 If you simply remove the month of June, he has a .680 OPS the rest of the season, which is somewhere in between his 2016 and 2017 numbers. June is awesome and it shows that there is still potentially a better hitter in there, but he really hasn't done much of anything outside of that month.

Heyward's season OPS is getting down to last year's garbage level. He has a .608 OPS over his last 30 games and not much better recently. He's back to being garbage. But we will always have June 2018, wont we J-Hey?
-
I read that the waiver claim is set to expire an hour before the game so we will know within the next 90 mins whether he is starting or on the Brewers
-
Yeah just not something you want to see with a 6 run lead and no off days coming up for awhile. I was concerned when it looked like he might have to go 120+ pitches but he got that DP so all in all 114 isn’t too bad. Just would have preferred that inning go to De La Rosa or Rosario
-
Yes
-
If you had asked me to give a wildly optimistic prediction of Hamels first 5 Cubs starts, I probably would have said a couple of wins and an ERA a little under 3. The fact that we got this is simply incredible. I really hope he keeps this up
-
Going back to this backup catcher discussion, theres gotta be like a 95% chance the Cubs trade for a backup catcher right? Especially with rosters expanding, it’s a no brainer to grab a Rivera type for a bag of balls. I mean last year they added 2 more catchers to go with Contreras and Caratini

Fake news, KB doesn’t hit home runs
-
Holy horsefeathers 481 feet!
-
Schwarber and Javy have to be in the top 10 of prettiest dongers
-
Javy is a pretty solid baseball player if I do say so myself
-
Caratini is so bad. So so so bad
-
When Rizzo is hitting well he makes hitting look easy
-
Bloop double, soft single, soft hit to defensively challenged 2B = run allowed
-
Runs Murphy cost cubs defensively: 1
-
Awesome and in no way annoying as horsefeathers start
-
Hamilton is 2-15 lifetime against Hamels. Hamels becomes a Cub and gives up a leadoff bloop double to Hamilton. Sounds about right
-
Expect a short leash and plenty of Chavez action at the first sign of trouble
-
Oh darn...what ever will we do without him
-
homophobe (Daniel Murphy), incoming (to the Cubs)
UMFan83 replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Not particularly impressed with how he handled the question, especially his initial 'oh dear' when asked the question -
I did question why it took this 3rd MRI to finally find something wrong in the elbow that necessitated shutting him down. If they caught it back in May or whatever, there is a pretty good chance that he is pitching right now.
