They deserve all the credit for what a great "HITTER " they developed there Hard-hitting analysis! Cubs pitchers can't bat. This argument would be so funny if it weren't so sad.

hawksfan61 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 10:40 PM) You forgot the IN THE DRAFT part. It is critical we find talent in the field IN THE DRAFT. Tim Anderson is a good start (although he walks less than Bran Stark). That needs to happen ALL THE TIME. How are you not on TV with this sick combination of advanced baseball knowledge, snarky jokes, and ability to always keep it real and not be one of those yucky "fans"? Hope you got a Costco membership, bulk buying Jergens is in your best interests financially at the rate you're burning through it every time someone says the C word.

They're common sense. A BA of .300 is good, but a OBP of .300 really isn't. His OBP needs to improve. Walk more.

You're right, because if the NL loses, the Cubs get a DH to bolster their lineup for an extra game in the World Series. That's assuming a lot, of course. The Cubs couldn't really lose this game.

Yeah, right...the Cubs (or ANY NL team for that matter) didn't want home field advantage "IF" they get to the World Series. Give me a break. You really are completely consumed by the hype, so much so that you come up with some nonsensical bullcrap when 6 of the last 7 World Series' have been won by the team with home field advantage.

Go cry in your name's irrelevance while Rick goes and trades for Carlos Beltran. Admit it, your brain shuts off when you talk about the Cubs. Go cry about the White Sox in the entire board dedicated to it. We are here to talk about the Cubs, a team that would benefit more from the DH than many other teams in the NL QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 11:48 PM) Might be one of the dumber things I've seen on here in a while. you literally tried to change your name to penis and you think I'm dumb?
