  1. On the field Matt Shaw is a smooth-brained idiot who is not ready for prime time and the team puts him in positions to fail time and again. All year the guy has looked like he'd rather be at home playing Fortnite. Cabrera sucks and needs to be removed from the active roster for the rest of the year.
  2. Inject his face with crazy glue and morphine and shove him out there. He's a gamer he'd do it.
  3. Would be fun to play in a game with wind blowing out at 100mph
  4. Well besides vision which is likely due to the swelling, which should go down after a few says, at least it's not bones that directly affect athletic performance. Could be worse like a break in the arm or leg. Here it's more about safety and pain tolerance. Problem is if he's running then his face is bobbing up and down with each step, which could aggravate it. There's all sorts of helmet contraptions to protect the face at bat or in the field (if those are allowed) so getting hit there again shouldn't be a concern.
  5. Agreed. An extreme example are PED's, not exactly healthy but if everyone's doing it then guys feel they need to just to compete.
  6. So do the benefits of standing as close to the plate as you can get away with (with a lefty at the plate) when on deck in order to time up the pitcher better outweigh the risks of getting your face smashed in? Legit question. I get CC was defending criticism of his player which is his job, but no need to get PO'd about a legit question. Just say he was trying to get the best look he could. And that may go for Morel "trying to hit the ball in the lake" too.
  7. Yeah we're effed. I think he's likely out the first round at the very least, and maybe the 2nd round. Given how he's been hitting this is a massive blow. He's been one of the best players in the MLB.
  8. My guess is the running and also sliding (even feet first) would be what could aggravate it the most of not fully healed. Luckily he's a slow runner so that could help a bit lol. Google says a minor or hairline fracture takes about 6-8 weeks to heal, but i imagine if he's able to swing and run he'll be out there. I would be anyways lol.
  9. Did someone here previously say Cubs win the tiebreaker over the Padres and Phillies?
  10. True story, in high school I fouled a ball towards the dugout and hit the head coach's girlfriend in the head and she had stitch marks from the baseball imprinted on her forehead for days.
  11. He was in front of the on deck circle but I'm sure they dragged it closer to the plate. It seemed obnoxiously close. They need to paint the circle in, to hell with these movable circle mats.
  12. He can still put his hat on so it's not swollen right?
  13. Let's hope he didn't get a concussion from it.
  14. Bregman seemed really close to home plate trying to time up the pitcher. Umps gotta enforce the circle better.
  15. Current patch: 1980's/ early 90's patch:
  16. That's because of the defense. So league average run prevention, but not league average pitching.
  17. Did they assume the Reds conceded the base to Busch? Oops
  18. The Cubs are still on pace for 90 wins. Which is impressive considering the mammoth pitching issues all year. If they just had average pitching this year where would they be? 95 wins?
  19. Problem is they would suppress our hitter's HR as well.
  20. I was hoping for 10 fwar for him but he just keeps hitting!
