“Right forearm discomfort”. Not good
-
This scenario seems quaint now.
-
Not to latch onto just one relatively small part of your comment….but in your scenario above Nico would be worth 14.5 wins over five years for $125mm. That’s $8.6mm/WAR and I would pay that without hesitation.

Correct

I feel like this is still an inaccurate analogy. Like, obviously yelling at a kid in McDonalds for poorly making your cheeseburger would be prick behavior. But maybe you would ask to speak to a manager so you can voice your displeasure, and perhaps hope that the manager would somehow take action to encourage better cheeseburger-making effort from the kid in the future. That situation may hurt the kids feelings, but you the consumer have what I think is a valid right to good service…at least insofar as it can be controlled by the employee. If people are booing Tucker for not hitting more homers, that’s stupid. Obviously he wants to hit well and booing won’t help that. But if he’s being booed for multiple times not running out grounders because he’s frustrated and annoyed…then that feels kind of valid, I think? The consumer / fan has paid good money for the product they’re getting and voicing displeasure at a repeated lack of effort feels justified. But I get it’s a fine line between that and meatball.

Cubs 2025 Trade Deadline Thread
George Hayduke replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Can he pitch?… -
Originally quoted on page 1 in this thread:

In the Severed TV show thread Kyle was giving a bunch of contrarian opinions and IMB basically told him, you’re being maximally Kyle-like right now. And he fired back with a personal insult to IMB, like completely out of bounds to the point where I don’t even want to repeat it here. And when called on it Kyle vowed to leave the board forever and I don’t think has been back since. This was maybe 2 or 3 months ago.

Yeah that was Duke Silver. That was the year the Brewers went absolutely supernova the last month of the season and the cubs “offense broke” in Theo’s words and they lost the division the last week of the season. Duke had been saying for like 3 months there was no way the Brewers would catch the Cubs and when they finally did IMB made a sarcastic comment about it and Duke had a nuclear meltdown, lol. Led to his remark that IMB was a whiney bitch (that IMB had quoted in his signature for years after that). I think he quit the board shortly after that. Thinking of it now, IMB might lead the board in poster kills…Duke, Tom, Kyle. It’s probably him or Mojo, lol.

Legendary Blues Alternate Uniform next year
George Hayduke replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This isn’t that Sentensi or whatever dude from 6 or 7 years ago, is it? The one who got booted after dropping an F slur? Maybe it’s just the similar-ish name making me think that, but he also had a penchant for all caps rants if I remember correctly. -
Post Winter Meetings Free Agency thread
George Hayduke replied to Crusader's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Kind of an aside to this idea…but at this point is there any realistic scenario where Shota underperforms enough in 2025 that the Cubs don’t pick up the remainder of his contract at 3/$54m after this season, but he’s still good enough where he would then pass on his 1/$15m player option? Seems like an extremely narrow set of circumstances for that to make sense to both sides. -
Yeah but let me ask you this: would you consider a hot dog a sandwich?
-
Boy this one hurts. Every stupid possible thing happened tonight after a whole week of rough games. Really can’t buy a break right now.
-
The Starlin whew gif is going to be worn down to threads by mid September.
-
To be fair to Smyly, he had like a 3.60 ERA through April and May, which was perfectly fine in the middle of the rotation. But yeah he's been rough to watch the past couple months.
-
Also Tsuyoshi Wada and Koji Uehara

Can I also be added to the old timey group? I don’t post often but I’m certainly an old timey lurker of the social threads. Thanks.

5/27 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Pirates (Anderson) on now
George Hayduke replied to Andy's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Still think the best part of this is Javy's safe call before taking off for first. It’s like even Javy himself forgot for a half second, oh horsefeathers, I still have to get to first base -
Len Kasper taking White Sox radio job
George Hayduke replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This offseason can horsefeathers right off already. -
No. That’s the one good thing from this year. PECOTA and those smug pricks were wrong with their garbage projection system. This was a joke. The cubs are not a true 79 win team.
-
PECOTA’s right and we were always sucks to hate it

Do you think Russell has a separate, superior offensive skill set that he only breaks out when he starts? His 2019 OPS is .733. He sucks. Stop saying otherwise. Young players tend to be bad off the bench which is a hard role for most players, and he made a bunch of outs as PH when he was dealing with the hand injury. Ahh hmm shoot good point. It’s a shame we don’t have any other recent years of PA’s from him to add to the sample size so we’d have more accurate statistics to base his performance off of.
