2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

I've liked Votto from the moment I heard him make the comment about giving up HR's for the good of getting on base for the team.

When he went ballistic on the Ump for calling bad strikes, I felt like the Ump needed to re-evaluate his life choices going forward.

Can you explain this to me more? How is getting on base better than a home run

Shouldn't you of all people understand it, Ichiro been sayin it for years.

I haven't watched a reds game in a while. Is votto their new leadoff man? I'd sacrifice some OBP for 10 more homers. Especially from my #3/4 hitter.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

he's the quintessential sabermetrics 2 hole hitter

Feel like they could rely on Frazier for the HRs, at least before the ASB. Then he went pretty cold.

Votto fits damn well in the 2 hole.

 

[CP1708]

Stop playing dumb, he's said it his entire career.

 

[CP1708]

Ichiro was right to scoff and tell reporters a few years ago, "If I'm allowed to hit .220, I could probably hit 40 [home runs], but nobody wants that."

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Cubs.

What are you up to Ches.......

 

[nick.]

Chester in the MLB thread?

 

[T0INE]

What are you up to Ches.......

Chester trying to rub some of that 49er stench onto the teams in his avy.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Chester with the kibosh.

 

[macbk]

johnnyredstorm or anyone -

Name random batters, any batter. If they're available in the FA pool, I may pick them up. Can't afford to have Brandon Phillips and Brantley sitting this week the way they have so far.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I'm about to head out for a date papi but hmmm, Idk Justin Ruggiano if the Dodgers are facing a lefty. Michael Conforto if he's available.

 

[jpzx]

Two first names.

 

[nomnom]

Cubs.

They should break this news once the NLDS arrives.

Mets are still playing for Home Field, so why take a chance riling Harvey's mates again with this trash.  Break this trash news right before the game, makes sense.

-of course Colon is getting rocked and Philly is up 2 in the 6th. Good job GM

 

[Hahahaha]

I can't stand listening to this girl call this Yankees game. She annoys the **** out of me.

 

[dmxfury]

Who is it, Suzy?


GOODNESS GRACIOUS, ROGER CLEMENS IS BACK.....HE IS BACK

No, talking about Curt's replacement. I think her name is like Jessica? The ex softball player.

[dmxfury]
