35thstreetswarm Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Crazy that Eloy essentially beat them twice in four games. He’s going to torture that fan base for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Wasn't sure where to post this but seems a good place to post this head scratcher. I was at the Brookfield Zoo this morning and this guy was walking in front of me with his wife and kids. He was wearing an Addison Russell all star jersey. Wouldn't most people have retired that from their wardrobe after his suspension let alone wear it out on a family outing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he’s unhappy with how Epstein defended him in the offseason and then reversed course and finally just gave up on him in the last 7-10 days...protest? By by the way, Strop and Edwards Jr. are toast. Not sure how long until Cishek’s arm falls off. Ryan is not exactly prime time Andrew Miller, either.

The Sox have Abreu and Lopez, the Cubs were all Russell. I was thinking someone was going to inadvertently buy their Cubs fan kid or nephew or niece or neighbor a wife beater jersey.

Surprised the #metoo movement never organized a protest. Probably because half their husbands and boyfriends value winning a lot more than integrity/morals/ethics/values. In all seriousness, obviously there are many single women too, but the complaints and outcry from protest groups is almost exclusively aimed at the NFL and not MLB. More of a psychological connection between football and violence?....maybe the size of some of the athletes. I guess skin color is impossible to completely overlook, too.

Female baseball journalists beat the hell out of russell this winter. Outside of sports journalism most baseball players are not well known on a national stage so national media didn't care that much. At this point baseball is mostly a local sport except for yankees and red Sox so football players get a lot more attention nationally Edited July 28, 2019 by [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russel is black and Filipino. Don't make this something it's not. Ray Rice knocking his wife out on camera for example is a lot more powerful than what happened with Russel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 The kid the Cubs traded to get Justin Wilson (who is no longer on the team) is on fire. Was also selected in this past futures game. Thanks Theo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bat has fallen off a cliff but his defensive metrics have been very good. He came in with the bat first rep in the Cubs org but it's his defense that has improved in the big leagues He was a 2.5 WAR player last season and he's still only 25. He just needs to be at least average with the bat to be a decent player for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point, you are what you are. Pretty much the best 2 days of the baseball season so far. Shut up in advance to “I don’t care what the cubs do, why do you” guy. ?
