If it's not one thing it's another with him. It always sorta annoyed me when he'd talk in interviews about "needing the legs at 100%" (I mean maybe he's correct) but as a fan that's not what you want to hear. I believe him though, his speed underpins his entire game. From his defensive value to his BABIP and OBP. He's got a bone bruise I guess. Not good. Painful injury. Hassan Whiteside tried to play through one in the NBA this year and then was shelved for about a month. Hahn absolutely aced his extension and both Eaton trades. Bought low and sold at absolute peak.

southsider2k5 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 It is such a dumb argument. Of course they are going to cover the Cubs more. It is a much bigger audience to sell to. Being bitter about basic business principles is such a bad look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananarchy Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Cub-une is a level of pettiness below serious baseball fans. Besides, if you’re a serious baseball fan, you don’t care about the trib. The Athletic is the only place to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
