keep up hockey gay. make up players with old-timey names from the 30s-60s and then sprinkle a current name here or there like JORR does.

Using past 14 games is arbitrary but here's his stats:

.140/.267/.440

BB%: 15.0%
K%: 36.7%
ISO: .300
BABIP: .083

Striking out way too much. He's selling out for homers. I believe it's a big reason his BABIP sucks. It's not a case of hitting them hard at people but rather bad contact when it's not a HR.

I get so confused sometimes. Is this guy Babe Fuckin' Ruth or a fat turd with no position who strikes out too much? Would THE INQUISITOR please let me know?

So he's like Trayce Thompson and we should just wait to see what he becomes? But that's bullshit. You've already ordained him as a key World Series piece. You can't have it both ways. When he has a good 14 games stretch he's a perennial All-Star and when he has a bad one he's just a poor rookie learning his craft. Who ya crappin'?

he is a key world series piece. he's not a finished product but his pedigree and upside dictate the expectation of an all-star.

right now he's in a funk as this is likely his time experiencing failure hitting as a pro-baseball player. he's still learning how to counteract the adjustment pitchers make.

he'll be fine.

His pedigree? He isn't a fucking racehorse. Nobody thought this guy was all that until The Great Theo Epstein drafted him. Then suddenly he was a top, top guy. I think the realistic approach isn't to believe the last 14 games are who he is as a player, but the first 14 games aren't either.

And how can he be a World Series piece when no Cub fan is predicting a World Series? Do you expect him to be traded?

Just waiting for IMU and JORR to admit that I was right about Schwarber. Not only is he the best hitter on the team but his addition to the lineup has turned this season around.


I think Rizzo is a better hitter at this point, but Schwarber can become what Rizzo does. Has the power and has a more natural compact swing, Rizzo had to create that and it probably doesnt have the same power Schwarber does from that compact swing.

But does that mean then nas is saying Schwarber will be far better than Abreu?

He looks great but I think it would be wise to wait for the league to adjust to him to judge him. As long as he can make the adjustment back, he should be real good.


You don't think they've been trying?

I can't honestly tell if you are playing a bit, or just baseball stupid.

at both AA and AAA this year his BA was above .320, his OBP over .400 and a walk rate over 10%. that's good!

if the cubs are to win a world series he needs to be a valuable contributor with the bat.

How many All-Star position players has K.Williams drafted/scouted? Theo is a far superior drafter/scout then K.Williams. Also, Trayce was a second round pick and not projected to do much of anything in the majors. Lil Ruth was one of the top 5 players in the country! You don't see us excited about fucking Jake Stinnett or Mark Zagunis! Stupid Sox Fans :lol:

Cub fans cant win with you.

If they're critical, they're being fickle. If they praise they're in fantasy land.


I might start a thread for you to tell us what the prudent reaction to every Cub happening is because I dont know what you want from Cub fans. (Other than just to criticize them no matter what)
