JUSTgottaBELIEVE

I really don’t care what fangraphs says, he just doesn’t pass the eye test. Good player sure but top 3 catcher or whatever no way. There’s a reason a smart org like the Dodgers benched him on two different occasions in the playoffs. I sometimes wonder if he calls fastballs because he’s worried about blocking balls in the dirt with runners on. Only explanation I have for some of his pitch calling.

I’ve been consistent in my Grandal hate at least. Never seen a player that WAR overrated more than him. Too bad the Sox didn’t know what they had in McCann and Collins because I’d far prefer that platoon over this one. And would have saved a decent amount of money to boot.

I know, what a steal

Heuer is nasty

I could see that. There’s really no other explanation to be honest.

That team is dead man walking. It’s remarkable how bad their offense is now when it’s basically the same core that they won a World Series with and all those guys should be in their primes as hitters.

Cubs down 6-1. With their offense this year, that’s an insurmountable deficit to overcome.

It’s a shame all the haters turned off he game after the second inning, they just missed another Eaton blast. What a great signing that’s been so far.

Not trying to be a dick but you should just turn it off if watching upsets you this much. You’ll feel better (maybe)

Fans throwing in the towel for the season part way through game 10 lol

I know negativity is your thing but why do you invest so much time in something that causes you so much frustration?

What makes you think they won’t?

My takeaway...despite a few injuries and underperformance from several individuals, this team is going to be really good if they stay relatively healthy. Consider the following MLB ranks and understand, if they sustain this all season, wins will most certainly follow (alot of them); Offense - 5th in FWAR and wRC+ Pitching - 7th in fWAR and xFIP, 5th in FIP Run differential - 5th Truth is the advanced metrics tell the story of a 6-2 or 5-3 team, not 4-4. However, SSS and close late inning blown leads have resulted in a 4-4 record. Those things will even out over 162.

Might as well just put them out of their misery and close up shop now since no one cares about baseball anymore. Surprising a multi-billionaire like Cohen would invest an enormous amount of money in an irrelevant, dying sport.

^exactly why MLB won’t experience a significant decline in interest if a player like Tatis Jr isn’t on the field. Because there really isn’t one player in the MLB that has that type of impact, unlike say the NBA or NFL.
