  1. Losing 4 in a row at home sure leaves a bitter taste Someone should tell ol Jimmy that no pitch is safe It's a wicked game we play and we wearing rings for a reason, we bout to bring forth a beatin You'll be drownin in your sorrows when you see Schwarber swingin The avalanche of blows will leave you mournin and grievin And that's before Bryzzo even shows its form in this evening One is just the MVP; the other's got golden gloves Trust me, they didn't get where they at by showin love Beware the ambidextrous swiss army knife Those are such people you don't wanna piss off in life And lurking in the shadows is your ticket back to Madison Another silent killer known to lift a blast to Addison Were winnin back to back and then establishin the dynasty Now bow the horsefeathers down to your Majesty and Highness, Bs
  2. Steele with a very solid 4 innings so far 43 strikes in 63 pitches, 3:1 with 0 ER He seems to have found a groove to start this season
  3. Outstanding work, Duke. As you mentioned, there are a few factors working against Schwarber that will likely always suppress his BA a little bit (pull tendency and deep count succeptibility to ump discretion chief among them) but the gains in contact are definitely nice to see. In a lot of his Ks he hasn't looked overmatched but rather has just finally lost the battle after fighting off several tough pitches. When I got on him about going Gallo it was only in relation to his K% approaching 40 at that time. I love watching that dude at the plate. He has enormous oppo power and hope he can tap into that a little bit. Again, great article
  4. Honestly, Tiger Is this really doom-bonering or is it simply negatively commenting on what is, right now? Do any of those posts attempt to portend what to expect in the future? Any way, I don't want to soil this thread. Happ is having a killer start to the season. Does anyone know how he's looked defensively so far? Made errors in OKC, but I honestly don't remember where he played. Yeah I'm curious how much OF he is playing and how natural he looks out there
  5. Damn thing crashed on me but I had 17 with 20 to go.
  6. Here's your last 10 posts, excluding the two in response to David: search.php?author_id=15869&sr=posts - Zobrist's contact rate is down 10% - Contreras is a defensive replacement if he doesn't figure out his plate discipline - the offense looks terrible right now - Bryant got 5 pitches he should have destroyed - Happ is going to pass the whole Cubs team in HR - Contreras can't hit changeups - "Awesome" after Strop pitched poorly - "Let's get that BB/9 in order Pedro" - "Schwarber is going Gallo on us" (referring to K's) - commiserating about the strike zone and glad Jake got out of it 9 out of 10 posts complaining about individual players or the offense as a whole. Now do the same thing for David to see how often he actually complains about Baez: search.php?author_id=576&sr=posts Criticism or disagreeing as fine. Criticism of this Cubs team as the overwhelming majority of what you say is obnoxious. Honestly, Tiger Is this really doom-bonering or is it simply negatively commenting on what is, right now? Do any of those posts attempt to portend what to expect in the future? Any way, I don't want to soil this thread. Happ is having a killer start to the season. Does anyone know how he's looked defensively so far?
  7. And seriously, do you realize you're getting on me for doing a smaller version of what you do constantly in regards to Javy? I hope so.
  8. Willson might find himself there if he doesn't snap out of his disciplinary funk at the plate and make contact on more than half of his swings do you post about anything else? we get it. almost everyone has bad peripherals but YOU'RE NOT WORRIED OR DOOM BONERING, you're just posting about it in every single thread. Am I? Or is this the only thread, besides, you know, game threads, where we talk about players and stuff, that I've mentioned it?
  9. Random note: Zobrist's contact rate is down 10 points. Russell and KB are ahead of him right now.
  10. it cheapens it to showcase def. replacements Willson might find himself there if he doesn't snap out of his disciplinary funk at the plate and make contact on more than half of his swings
  11. I'm pretty sure if any team strikes fear in anybody, it's the World Series champions, who won 103 games and return basically everyone.
  12. I know my rep around here isn't exactly sterling but man This offense looks terrible right now. It's OK to admit that. In fact, it's OK to criticize it. They are not prepared to hit baseballs hard. 2 anomalous (for this season) performances does not a strong offense make. That said, we'll be there in the end, with another division title. But it's OK to call a spade a spade. These guys are not hitting consistently enough to strike fear in anybody.
  13. Soon Ian will pass the whole Cubs team in HR Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  14. That one was hilarious. Glad Jake took care of business regardless.
