Crosstown Rivalry: The beatdown thread

[Raskolnikov]

I don't get it?

What could go wrong with putting the sumo wrestler in the outfield?

Game 3. Enough said. Game 3.

Avisail Garcia is on your roster.

And you traded for him.

Welp...I thought 2016 was a summer we could all count on Cubs contention until June.

Better luck next year!! Har har har.

Unfortunately it's not free of adolescents..

I think it is.

Sorry about Schwarber. I hear Adam Larochre is available. Does Wrigley Field have room for a teenager son's locker?

Way too early for this thread. But I'll take my shot.

Theo has to do a better job at scouting guys with stronger ankles.

Telling his pitchers to quit pitching to Goldschmidt!!

 

[hyatt151]

What? It was two players going hard for a ball in loud conditions. He didn't run into a wall or run into his guy while he was waiting for the ball. Your post get quite dumb.

Rasky's been predicting this for as long as never!!

The worst part of the Schwarber injury is the avalanche of morons who saw him play four games last year touting their confirmation bias as proof of...something.

Too soon. And fucked up to kick people after something like this.

You can hate the Cubs, the Cubs fans and still feel terrible for Kyle. Baseball itself lost a hero. How can you not like that guy? His attitude? His drive to prove he can catch. The unreasonable raw power.

It's a fucking tragedy still sinking in. The reason I had to kick the Cubs fans here in this thread over it was the spirit of this thread was gleeful Cubs douches so antsy and eager to kick around some depressed Sox fans.

Individuals who need a good laughing at, Though I feel guilty involving this level of just pure tragedy.

The irony here is that you actually give Sox fans a bad name. The Sox are playing pretty good ball, yet you want to troll about a Cubs injury. Sad man.

I'm just explaining the thought process in my mind. I love Kyle. I would never wish ill upon the man.

I still feel the urge to laugh because while nobody saw this as a possibility something in hindsight feels very funny to me.

In hindsight, this is maddens circus show nightmare. He is loose and fun and plays players all over. The 275 lb baby Ruth in the outfield!! Haha but look how fast he is!!

It was a joke only cuz he could do it. In hindsight, it was stupid to consider getting a boy that big moving that fast.

I think he is done as an outfielder, his superiors failed him, and probably traded if no DH to NL.

Schwarber gets heavier with every Rask post. It would probably surprise him to learn that Schwarber weighs 5lbs less then Heyward, the finest defensive RF in baseball.

I gotta be honest, I don't look at Kyle is heavy, but if this is true, I am shocked.

EDIT: Hayward is also 5" taller.

Next thing you know Schwarbs will be cast to play Manumana the Slender in the remake of Necessary Roughness.

I always found it funny people talked about Prince Fielder weight so much, but never Miguel Cabrera. I saw them standing next to each other one day and Miggy looks like the bigger man. I mean he is much taller, but he is wider than Prince. If Prince is 300 then Miggy isn't far behind.
