I still believe.* Archived Message Posted by Warrin'_Illini on June 7, 2022, 17:03:51, in reply to "Schwarber was never really good.*" Previous Message Previous Message Was cheap. There's a reason the Cubs really started struggling. Weird KB and Baez peaked so early. Weird that Schwarbs has become a low BA/high home run player. I'm shocked his career BA is now .234. Figured it would be at least .270. Previous Message Rizzo, Bryant, Schwarber, and Baez have the same amount of bWar as Nico Hoerner (1.4). Bryant has a bad back and zero homers, Rizzo terrible May, Baez the fourth worst OPS among qualifying players, and Schwarber striking out 38% of at bats with a .197 average. #JedsLeague Message Thread: | This response ↓ Ex Cubs Update - bigbop85 June 7, 2022, 13:57:39 14th in payroll and 24th in win percentage - Chilango June 7, 2022, 15:48:03 How's that "transitory" inflation going?* - bigbop85 June 7, 2022, 16:18:21 one rake begets another* - suburbanmyth June 7, 2022, 16:58:10 *throws haymakers* - Chilango June 7, 2022, 16:40:17 #1 in Most Expensive Fan Experience - KingTalkyTiki June 7, 2022, 16:03:14 the upside of being bad is that's not true. tix only $10 for Cowboy Hat day on Monday* - assassin June 7, 2022, 16:06:14 The bright side of the suck* - KingTalkyTiki June 7, 2022, 16:40:45 But the single A team is on a two game win streak!* - Chilango June 7, 2022, 16:05:43 Ex cubs manager update - illini21 June 7, 2022, 15:13:15 Must be a bunch of lineupistas in that front office.* - OB25 June 7, 2022, 15:31:37 #JedsLeague* - bigbop85 June 7, 2022, 15:18:48 Your baseball posts are much better than your politic-y stuff IMO* - Dark Knight June 7, 2022, 14:45:52 #JedsLeague...in which his current team is 23-32 - IlliniSax05 June 7, 2022, 14:33:17 #winningoccasionally* - KingTalkyTiki June 7, 2022, 15:33:33 jeff frank-esque* - suburbanmyth June 7, 2022, 14:30:24 miss those guys, but it's good that we didn't pay them for past successes* - shua June 7, 2022, 14:09:26 it is bigbop, but the glee at their failures is weird - bjl63 June 7, 2022, 14:40:47 the glee stems from their bitching about not getting fair market extensions - bigbop85 June 7, 2022, 15:08:26 They're miserable.
