IST: Cubs vs Reds(@choad35)

[TL1961]

I stopped responding to Chibears/Choad until he posted today under the stealth moniker of “HeyWhereDidChoyneGo, BTW_IamNotHim_MyNameHasNumbers”.

Bote is an average fielder not hitting much. He strikes out way too often, and in a juiced ball season, shows little power. He is A 3B option in a pinch, but I wouldn’t call him a “good option”.

Garcia has only one potential position 2B. He is our worst defensive option, but where else can he go? Not SS or 3B. OF? No thanks. If he hits, and is ok at 2B (not terrible), then ok. But he has limited upside and versatility compared to others.

His power can help though if he is used as PH when not starting. I just don’t know how much to reasonably expect offensively. So far, very encouraging in very short stint.

I see Garcia as a LF. If Soriano can do that and even improve with a quality OF coach to teach him routes.

The only issue is if he is slow as ****. In either reguard. Then he is just a ticking time bomb.

Schwarber, even as underwhelming as he is, is a better option as is Contreras.

Yeah, put the guy who was playing in italy for 5 years in the Ben Zobrist role.

My god some of our fans make our fan base look so damned stupid.

Still curious what your thoughts were on the potential Contreras foot surgery.

Well Schwarber is on the uptick. wRC+ at 104 now.

But as they say.

 

[zack54attack]

Welp.

 

[jooo83]

Wtf. Why did Mills start?

 

[zack54attack]

LOL already down 3-0.

 

[jooo83]

Let's hope the offense decides to show up tonight.

 

[jooo83]

I refuse to believe the cubs didn't have a better option than Mills tonight.

Those *******. How dare they not get eight plus every day!

Posting it repeatedly won’t make it so.

You know, the only way anyone pays any attention to what he says is when it's so pitifully stupid that you can't help it. Like he of all people, calling Cub fans stupid. It's gotta be Maddon's fault, right? He blames Maddon for everything else, so why not? Getting back to the Contreras/Strop thing.....I always thought that these were finely tuned pro athletes. I mean, I'm so fucking out of shape that I should be put down like a horse yet I think I can still run 200 feet and I'm pretty damn sure I can run to first base without pulling a hammy.

But....it is Maddon's fault....right?

 

[TL1961]

I am eager to see Maldonado’s framing.

Hopefully some pitches make it to his glove this inning.

 

[jooo83]

Spare me your nonsense. It's 0-3 in the 1st. Hoping the offense has a good game is a perfectly reasonable responsible to a bad early inning.

Hamstring pulls occur because guys are tight, not because they’re “fat tubs of goo”, to use a Letterman favorite.

I didn't repeat anything. I previously asked why he started.

Agreed.
Implying a team that score 21 in the last 3 games has not been getting offense is not reasonable.
