Gay, what do you expect out of Willson Contreras this year?

Do you think he'll be able to effectively work with Lester?

Whaddya drinkin, Gay?

I do. I think Lester will be a good influence on him too.

I expect him to bat .260 - .280 with decent power. Let's go 20-30 homers.

He has a good arm and will do a fine job replacing Ross as far keeping runners on base at bay like Ross did.

He will need to learn how to pitch frame better though. The thing with Lester is that it always feels like half of his strikes are borderline and Ross was a master at making them look like strikes. Contreras, last year, was really fidgety back there. He has to frame better and just calm his shit a little better.

Jim Beam and Twisted Tea

Solid analysis.

What about Lackey?

Are we bringing back Don's cartoon gif and Matches' Steve Martin gif this year?

It's called a Vincent Antonelli - Barney Coopersmith special.

I think they'll be fine, especially since they worked together last year. I do think catching Lackey is good experience. If Willie can deal with him, he can deal with anyone.

What are your expectations of Hendricks this year?

_________________

Kyle takes a bit of a step back I think, though not as much as Arrieta did.

I'm very concerned about Rondon. I think he's done.

We fuckin better. It's part of the dynasty.

I agree about Rondon. He was trash in the WBC.

It's almost impossible for Kyle not to take a step back but I still expect him to be dominant.

I think Hendricks has a Cy Young caliber year. I do see Lester taking a step back and Arrieta continuing to be up and down, though.

_________________

I think Lackey will be a dumpster fire this year.

Hendricks and Arrieta will be solid. Lester a little worse.

_________________
You know me like that.

Yeah, I think Lackey probably winds up a glorified bench coach by our games in November.

_________________

Rondon will be the best set up man in the NL. He is just playing bad to fuck with everyone.

Lackey thank god will be done as a Cub after this season. I see him on the DL before July though.

Haha yea, and Italians aren't annoying. You wish, bud.

Nobody loves baseball more than me.

Vote Furious in 2017.

Italian food and salad dressing are awesome. Have you been drinking today Mister Hockey Gay?

Pathetic. You don't even post in here, you carpetbagger.

Obviously both are awesome. That has nothing to do with the people.

Btw, yea, I'm hammered, but to all you young Italians out there, at least you're not Irish.

Go Cubs!

Is there a bigger fraud in the history of the board than Furious Styles? Boyz In The Hood is an excellent movie and then this strapping young man shows up with his avatar and we're thinking "alright, cool, another black guy on the board" and then you meet him and he's just your typical old white guy who likes golf. Fuck outta here.

As I've stated numerous times before, Hockey Gay is hands down, the best game day poster this board has ever seen.

He's right up there with Javy Baez in my book.
