  1. Man we are going early-2017 Cubs again with these 1st inning runs.
  2. I think the tarp is off currently. Downtown Chicago just got really dark though and I think I hear some thunder in the distance.
  3. Yes I meant to mention that as well. It's astounding that he calls the people that uncoverd those tweets 'trolls', but the worst thing he can call Hader is 'childlike'. Oh and then there's the part where he trys to interject himself into the narrative by speculating that his tweet might have caused the "trolls" to expose Hader.
  4. Cubs rotation is on pace for the worst season in team history https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-cubs-are-on-pace-for-their-worst-rotation-ever/
  5. Heyman played this probably as poorly as you could without outright agreeing with Hader's comments. All he had to do was denounce the tweets and say he spoke too soon when he tweeted about Hader before the game. Instead he attacked people on twitter who brought up the tweet, then said Hader's been punished enough by being forced to attend sensitivity training and having his first all star game experienced ruined, that he was a "child" (a term he used several times) at 17 when he made the tweets, that his black teammates vouch for him (its a pretty shitty situation that they had microphones shoved in their face and asked for comment when they probably hadnt even had time to digest the news), etc. White privilege is real folks.
  6. dammit Rizzo should have scored. Horrible baserunner
  7. 113 pitches is his longest outing of the year in terms of PC but couldn’t make it through 5
  8. How you had a nice relaxing All star break bullpen
  9. This guy is the new Sean Sears in that I have no desire to ever read his thoughts on literally anything but his entire Twitter fed gets posted here. And it’s a double whammy cuz so does he. It’s my fault on both of those
  10. Kyle throwing batting practice out there Only 50 pitches through 1.2 IP
  11. it just sucks because none of the starters alone save Chatwood are performing all that badly but none of them make me feel all that confident when they pitch
  12. First home night game in exactly a month First non-West Coast Time night game since June 22
  13. Really sucks that there is also a Schwarber homophobic tweet going around. It is not a bad as what Hader said at all, more along the lines of using the term to mean something is bad, but shitty nonetheless
  14. brewerfan.net is a doozy. They aren't exactly defending the words but are spending more time criticizing the people who exposed the tweets than Hader for making them. One guy is blaming rap music for putting those words in their songs and why its unfair that white people cant quote it without being labeled a racist.
  15. Seems like he's gonna get away with this with minimal damage which to me seems unreal.
  16. Yeah, if they’re going to trade him, I’d prefer if he goes to the Phillies. Yep for several reasons including one Harper suitor a lot less likely to be a threat
  17. Hope they are able to get him to resign because this basically risks the future of their good not great run
  18. Yeah this should really be day 1 stuff for an agent to assign as a task to someone in the office as soon as a guy signs. And also yes, not excusing what Hader in particular said at all. It’s vile. But there’s things almost all guys want gone that are much lesser than this [expletive] tonight. horsefeathers Hader though. Racist POS. I mean if they had any integrity it should be something they do before agreeing to sign someone, not after.
  19. He made a statement after the game and said he was young and immature when he made those tweets and don’t reflect how he feels now :rolleyes:
  20. This was in 2016: [tweet]https://twitter.com/beanbooper/status/1019428543934140416[/tweet]
  21. Good call thanks
  22. [tweet] [/tweet]
