  1. Guess so. Just weird that he hit all those while playing in a not very homer friendly park and then he comes to Chicago and he's only hit 1...in a very homer friendly park.
  2. Sorry for the late response. Thought I heard Kasper say Cease was pitching Friday, Lynn on Saturday and Gio on Sunday.
  3. Hernandez had 20 homeruns from April-July with Cleveland. He's hit 1 homerun from August-mid September with the Sox. What the hell happened.
  4. So is Rodon hurt? He isn't pitching in this series and he's not scheduled to start at all against Texas.
  5. There's 12-6 curveballs, sweeping curveballs, knucklecurves, and then there's dastardly curveballs.
  6. I don't know about MVP, but the story of the season has to be Rodon. It wasn't a surprise to anyone when he was released. I think it was a surprise to everyone when he resigned with us. No one thought he would be anything. Not even the most optimistic of us. Where would this team be without him, honestly? I'd be so frustrated if they let him walk and he did what he's doing with us in another uniform.
  7. Houston won the season series right? So if they have the same record at the end of the season and they play each other in the 1st round, wouldn't Houston have the homefield advantage for the series?
  8. I love Los and what he's done this year. Just an amazing, if not the most amazing underrated story of this team. But his injury history just scares the hell out of me. I do not want this team crippled by another John Danks contract situation...not in this championship window
  9. I do not disagree with the vaccinations. I believe they work. I am vaccinated myself. However, there are some people who are not able to get vaccinated due to health reasons, or whatever it may be. Not everyone can get them. Those that don't want it because they believe that it's evil conspiracy, or whatever, well, I think that's a whole other issue that needs to be dealt with at the heart. What has caused them to believe what they do?
  10. Stone Pony taking a lot of time off. I wonder if he's gonna call it quits in a season or 2. Or maybe it's because they aren't traveling to other ballparks and he's stuck in Chicago
  11. Wow, they are really hyping him up. Like, almost Luis Robert-esque. Great defender, great power, athletic, speed, even has positional versatility. Sounds like Leury has some competition.
  12. It's the first box on mine. Get your priorities straight.
  13. I literally would go to an MLB game just to see Robert play.
  14. 1st sentence: Oh I agree. He needed to go. But, if Cooper was here, all the problems that Kuechel and the bullpen are having would be blamed on him. That's all I'm saying. 2nd sentence: which journeyman pitcher do you speak of? The way Don Cooper left was unfortunate and probably left a sour taste in a lot of peoples' mouths, but he did some amazing things here in his prime with pitchers. He was the best of the best there for a while. Unfortunately, I think toward the end he tried to make all the pitchers do the same thing (like getting rid of the curveball), rather than working toward their individual strengths. 3rd sentence: Sycophant isn't a real word ? but you're probably right in that him being here too long could be attributed to Jerry and his loyalty. But so what? He was here during the rebuild and that's it. He isn't here now, and it took Jerry some balls to allow him to be let go.
  15. Hey I'll admit I was wrong. Very happy about the outcome and glad they all had a great time! Those cubs fans though...
  16. Well I guess you never know what a lineup is gonna do. Great production from all the big boppers today. Abreu, Eloy, Grandal, Robert all with huge games.
  17. I get the rationale they have with the post season. But there are fans paying to see these guys play. It's been how many years since they've fielded a truly professional team? I'd be pissed if I was going to the game today
  18. Let me rephrase my reply. I'm sure the cubs fans from 2015-2019 said the same thing about the sox players just as you, a sox fan, is saying the same thing about the cubs players in 2021.
