    Because if they're sucking for a while, and word gets out they've been sick and/or injured, there's a good chance the two are related. And yet the Cubs rarely seem to put position players on IL. The Cubs will use IL for their pitchers when they have to, but it seems like they are bizarrely averse to using for position players unless they flat out can't play. I seriously doubt they're magically luckier than almost every other team out there when it comes to player health. Bryant, Zobrist, Russell and Contreras are all key examples of players in recent seasons who clearly needed to heal up, and they just kept trotting them out there well past the point it was obvious something was wrong, like they were going to get better if they played hard enough. They actually did it with Rizzo also, let him play through a back injury that saw him hitting like a pitcher. Plus, you just dont horsefeathers around with knee injuries, IMO. They also had Descalso play for 2 months after spraining his ankle. Even if he didn't play every single day he still had to go to the park, take BP and FP, etc.

    Their avoidance of the IL is so frustrating. They think, oh we can't afford to be without KB in the lineup for 10-15 days... but really, he's given a 230 wOBA over the last 11 games... so is it better to have them play through it and not get the appropriate rest and treatment all while getting nowhere near the normal production, rather than sucking it up with Bote and a Russell or Machado to help fill in for 10 or so days? It seems to make no sense at all to me. Every time we keep trotting these injured players out there they play like shells of their regular selves.

    I heard from someone listening to Waddle and Sylvy that they were taking with Rogers who suggested it could be Kimbrel

    From a purely visual standpoint this reminds me of... Sweetness. I'm sure some will take that as fantasy but that's what I see. Legs churning, the helmet lowered into the defenders chest, and using the low center of gravity as leverage, always falling forward with multiple players needed to tackle him. Just hope he can stay healthy because hes going to absorb a lot of damage.

    https://www.fangraphs.com/graphs.aspx?playerid=16478&position=OF&statArr=35&legend=1,2&split=base&time=daily&ymin=&ymax=&start=2017&end=2019&rtype=mult&gt1=15&dStatArray= Kyle Schwarber has never struck out this seldomly. Is it Joe picking his battles more wisely? 70 2nd half PA and he has an 11.3 K rate, a 395 woba, with a ludicrous 156 BABIP.

    Of course the Dodgers hammer Paddack in a slugfest and then walk off on Kirby Yates.

    Good lord I dont know who creates those cretins in some of these Twitter threads.
  8. We Got The Whole 9

  13. We Got The Whole 9
    We're just chomping at the bit to swing at trash
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    Rizzo up there hacking like Javy
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    Hard contact is good but up the middle against these guys it's generally going to lead to frustrating outs
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Wick just has to dial in those walks a little bit. Definitely has the stuff to be a cheap mainstay for us for the next couple years.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Phillies and Pale Hose in the 15th inning. Vince Velasquez is playing LF while Roman Quinn is pitching. Velasquez just missed an assist on a laser to the plate and then followed it up with a 5 star diving catch. 15% catch probability. It was the first 5 star catch for the Phillies this year lol
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    How about if they're doing it again only with our best player, again?
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    I'm hoping we get James Rowson back.
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    You clung on till the bitter end last season so I would expect no different... But our core guys better snap out of this. This is a broken offense as of right now. There's no way around it. These guys are very slow to make adjustments.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    He has bone chips/spurs in his elbow, he can only go around 70-80 pitches an outing because of it. Ah I see
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Arrieta was pulled after giving up the first run of the day with an 8 run lead and at just 71 pitches in the 5th lol
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Saw that. I'm hoping he had just checked out mentally. He made some comments that certainly point to being frustrated with the team and the cavernous ballpark. But yeah those numbers are disgusting. He shouldn't bat 2nd against RHP at all.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Feels like they picked him up just to mow us down a few times
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    They need to not stop making this show
