horsefeathers are you guys talking about? I'm not freaking out over anything.

Rogers chimes in http://www.espn.com/blog/chicago/cubs/post/_/id/45067/is-willson-contreras-becoming-the-most-valuable-cub This part made me laugh but also pissed me off a bit And this has been my biggest gripe with him this season. It will get better but right now it is not where we need it to be and has affected the pitching quite a bit. He has to get a better read of the location of the pitch out of the pitchers hand. Too often he catches low pitches that catch the bottom of the zone as if they are headed for the dirt, and he tends to catch the high strike with too much movement. Those borderline calls that we have not been seeing this year have been a bit due to his inexperience but that's ok. That stuff will get better over time. What he's done in the last couple seasons to get this far is nothing short of spectacular. Also, with Miggy, Jake's era was mid-6 and with Willy it's under 3.

While this is true, it's not like you had much to choose from for 2017. He has 4 hits and a 138 BA, 214 wOBA (0 XBH) in HLS this year. That's got to improve, and I'm hoping yesterday is the start of that, and he can get back to 2015 status where he was his usual wrecking ball self.

The Brewers citation was from this very year. This is true and my apologies for skipping over it
-
When you have to resort to citing 2016, it had been a while No matter how much you guys want to believe it hadn't. You cannot dispute that it had been a while since KB had a hit in a high leverage situation. This does not mean that he's not clutch.
-
This is just a question because of the randomness of baseball, not because you think KB isn't "clutch" or some [expletive], right? Just felt like it had been quite a while This is just a question because of the randomness of baseball, not because you think KB isn't "clutch" or some [expletive], right? Remember when KB tied a playoff game on the road in SF with a 9th inning 2-run HR? So un-clutch. 100 games is quite a while

Sands is a disaster right now Another solid 5 innings from Tseng. Just got touched up for a solo shot but that's it. -
When's the last time KB had a hit that high on the leverage index?
-
Sometimes I really dislike Wade's curveball
-
This quickly turned into one of the best games of the season
-
horsefeathers yes KB
-
Scherzer allowed HR to the first 3 hitters today Of all Pitchers lol
-
I feel like we didn't get a single borderline call today but I feel like attributing much of that to Willson and how he was receiving the pitches. Oh well, plenty of ball to be played still and the team squared up the ball really well today, Willy included. Sucks.
-
Well that was pathetic Carl
-
What a stupid decision
-
Tons of swing and miss but then again, Tommy Pham has a 140 wRC+ this year after spending parts of 11 seasons in the minors. So you know this guy is the next Judge.
-
Willy is horsefeathering amazing
-
If the Cubs still liked Phelps and have been keeping an eye on Wilson, I think they see at least a little need but guys are surely rounding into excellent form lately.

Renato Nunez hit an eventual GW HR off Maples. Dillon did strike out 2 in the inning but he threw 25 pitches. Hudson just gave up his first hit in the 6th inning. SB made an error but he had finished 5 hitless in 50 pitches. 10 GO. DJ homered again. -
How many of you used to post on psd?
-
Maybe he meant 25 half hour homerless drought
-
BLOOOOOOWN

Andrew Bogut with the Cavs That's right, thanks. Pirates are down to their last 3 outs. Shut down by Davies.
-
Wasn't there an NBA player who played less than a minute with his new team before getting hurt this year ?

Different for a phone? Boy I've really outed myself for how unplugged I am. I can't speak for apple. There's several different ways to do it in Android, but usually you can tap and hold on an image and open it in a new tab. Then just copy the url from that new tab. Or just don't. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5z74qi516pw/TzharlT86sI/AAAAAAAAAx8/CevngrnKpMw/s1600/homer-simpson-rolling-back-into-car.gif
