Talk is cheap. Likewise insults. Post something to prove your claims if you want to be taken seriously.
Should earn some sympathetic votes, at the very least.
That +140 F5 yesterday was nice. THink about that: Hendricks +140 vs Gutierrez. Yes, I know the Reds lineup is much better. But the Cubs didn't need to put up much offense to win that.
But realistically, with DeGrom out of the mix, Gausman, Buehler and the Milwaukee guys have several lengths on Hendricks at the 1/8th pole.
Add "TDL malaise" to my EOG glossary.

I like the signing for them, the DH in the NL made him a hot commodity, there were several teams interested in his services, and with the expanded playoffs, three wins could mean the difference between making or missing the playoffs

GO Bucks!!!
A’s telling the Cubs “here, hold my beer”
Fukodome was Jason Heyward before Heyward got in the league. Big contract OF to play good defense and run bases well.
What happened to Jason Heyward's power?
With such great size and a sweet swing, where's the home run stroke?

Agreed. My gut instinct on the Cubs is their RSW total will be 84 1/2. Don't know if they are out anywhere. They've been busy but I don't expect all the acquisitions to work out. I had forgotten to include Nick Madrigal, who came over in the Kimbrel trade at the deadline, but was out for the year so it's like a brand new acquisition now. But I think Suzuki could be high variance; obviously Ohtani and Ichiro lived up to the hype; this guy being hyped as a 5 tool guy (I guess Ohtani was a 6 tool player).
He rolls his hands over too much. How often does he ground out to 2B? One would think a few mechanical adjustments would work, but its been 6 years now.

I remember something Bobby Cox once said about Heyward, the first time he saw him take batting practice, after hearing the ball meet his bat, he said the only other time he recalled hearing a sound like that was when Hank Aaron took batting practice, for whatever reason it's something I've always remembered.

He has under achieved then… cashed in big time & has not lived up to the hype. He can play some defense though

I just looked it up, not only did Cox compare Heyward to Aaron, he also said Mickey Mantle, JFC, talk about a swing and miss
Cox compared the sound of the ball off Heyward’s bat to what Cox heard when Hank Aaron and Mickey Mantle hit. “That same sound,” he said. “That ring.”

Braves' Heyward already a legend?
This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.- "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"So far, the biggest story in spring training is the kid whose home runs break cars.
