Chicago White Sox Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 12:30 AM) Seriously, why would a team like the Cubs EVER want to bat their pitcher? Every game they bench a top prospect because they have to let the pitcher bat. Lol dude...you are a compete joke. Maybe because it means they're playing at home, which to anyone who actually follows sports knows provides a competative advantage. Or maybe because if their pitcher is batting, it means their AL counterpart is losing a more important hitter from their lineup or weakening a defensive position. But you're right, Javier Baez is better than Davis Ortiz or Edwin Encarcion. The only good news from this implosion is it has proven you're a Cubs fan once and for all. It's long been speculated, but you toned down your completely biased Cubs views for a while when you switched your name from AustinSox to Deadpool. But arguing against home field advantage and then being a total dick to fellow Sox fans when you get called out is the final nail in the coffin.

Every game they bench a top prospect because they have to let the pitcher bat. That's a better argument with Schwarber available but he's not. Right now that potentially means they'd rather have Baez or Soler vs Ortiz or Hanley and not have the intangibles of game 7 at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't met me, you don't know anything about me, and my fandom is none of your business. The fact that the Cubs are more compelling has nothing to do with the White Sox. And how appropriate is it that the most pathetic bully on soxtalk is literally named "Chicago White Sox"? It's like JR hired you to troll the Cubs discussion. Except, JR wouldn't do that because JR doesn't care about the Cubs because he's not delusional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now that potentially means they'd rather have Baez or Soler vs Ortiz or Hanley and not have the intangibles of game 7 at home. This. Ortiz, Alvarez, Encarnacion, Santana/Napoli > Baez/Soler. The only team where the Cubs might have an advantage is vs. Texas (unless Fielder breaks out of his slump in the second half). Also, take a look at the home/road splits for AL contenders and the Cubs. Every team has a MUCH better record at home this year. Absolutely no reason why the Cubs wouldn't want home field in the World Series. It's all hypothetical anyway because the Cubs aren't getting to the Series this year.

Lol...I'm a bully now for calling out a poster who claims an NL team would be better off without home field advantage for no logical reason? You can't be serious right? Go ahead and talk about the Cubs as much as your little heart likes. But once you start being unobjective and letting your Cubs fandom get in the way, you're going to get called out, especially when you're doing it on a Sox message board. So either toughen up or stop making stupid arguments. If that bothers you, maybe the internet just isn't for you.

Tell me where I said the Cubs don't want home field. I'll wait. NL lost, fine. Take the extra bat. In fairness, the Cubs could offer a pretty large handful of MLB ready prospects. Wilson Contreras was a prospect back then. The Angels weren't likely to move him anyway. History has been horrible for teams that trade HOFers.

It's actually a violation of forum guidelines. It's specifically written in them. We would ask that this site become much more about debate then attacking one's viewpoints. That is what makes Soxtalk great, not the ability to be vulgar. Please follow these guidelines. Calling someone's argument "dumb" is attacking their viewpoint. Fine, I'm wrong. Tell me why, don't say "This is the dumbest thing I have ever read", because that's clearly NOT what Soxtalk.com is about. And if you think my post is dumb, go read the Penn State scandal thread from when Paterno died. A lot of people showed their behinds that day.

caulfield12 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Is unobjective even a word? Unless the Cubs are playing the White Sox, they don't have a marked advantage in the DH category. Seriously, the Rangers have better hitting than the Cubs, up and down that line-up. Edited July 13, 2016 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 The only thing disappointing to me about the all star game is that Collins didn't use Arrieta because I was really looking forward to watching the AL all stars light him up on the national stage.
