javy knows my name

Might be time to try this guy in the outfield

God I'm so glad the Cubs don't play defense like everybody else in the central

I will give you $10 if you can prove you read that whole post

Good GOD Maddon

Yeah. That makes the BABIP even less sustainable - the fact that he's legged out 10 infield hits is frankly insane and will not continue.

Because scoring more runs isnt enough? i...uh...are...are you a real person? or is your entire existence on this board like an elaborate troll? He's real, and he's spectacular... ly oblivious

Hahahaha I love him so much

GET THE horsefeathers OUTTA HERE

They shouldn't even try to get this game in today

Every single curve this guys throws looks sooooo hittable

?? They cut over to him in the booth for a minute and he was milking his extra deep voice and it was funny

yessssss jd is the [expletive] man

This is some monstrous shade for our best player

I am probably misremembering this, but Hoerner's profile reminds me of Trae Turner's quite a bit. High contact likely SS with elite speed and athleticism that MIGHT hit for power. People thought he was taken too high that year. That worked out pretty well.

Doubt it. I think he'll probably ground out weakly

He has an injured finger. He’ll just have to use the other hand to warm her up. 5.7

He hit the fuckin bull!

sneakypower!

Drop Russell Add Belt please

You aren't kidding. He absolutely killed that ball and I fully expected it to be caught up against the wall. i thought it was a no doubter, then remembered it was heyward, then thought it was still getting out anyways, then remembered it was still heyward, and then waited to see Same exact thought process. This is one of my favorite things to ever happen in the regular season. The interview was really fun too, what a cool guy

My initial reaction was the same, but after reading up on the full story, I'm not as sure. I still don't think I'd draft him but there was enough other things going on with the story that is was not as clear cut as I first thought. I read the part where he plead horsefeathering guilty for molesting his 6 year old niece. You probably read the same blog post every other Heimlich truther read which was written by a close family friend in order to try and get him drafted. There's no selling it to your fanbase that you took an admitted child molester and there's no chance that plays in a clubhouse full of athletes with children of their own. The felon wanted to save his family and keep them together by sparing them a trial? GTFOH with that horsefeathers. First, this isn't some traffic violation where you wake up and say horsefeathers it I've got better things to do than go to court on this glorious Wednesday, I'll just admit guilt so I don't have to waste an entire day. If this was some made up charge I think I go down swinging instead of just accepting the deal that labels me a sex offender. Second, why the horsefeathers would you want to keep a family together if they're making up sexual assault claims against one another? Finally, children do not tend to lie about abuse, so just accepting his new innocence claims over the signed horsefeathering plea deal is asinine to me. Yeah, most stories have two sides. This one does not

Is Hoskins hurt?

FORCED

Saw this, knew it wasn't ours, and couldn't for the life of me think of another Montgomery in the majors

Wonder if imb has seen him
