Sorry for the double post but :lol::lol::lol: The Cubs have fired yet another hitting coach:

idk what the gently caress they're looking for at this point but honestly I feel like the lack of consistency has to be hurting just as much if not more than any individual coach's performance.

It's time for the return of His Chosen Son in the second act of his career that's right we need Frank The Tank in hitting coach form it's what Wrigleyville craves

God, just pay Bill Mueller whatever he wants to come back. I know he left under acrimonious circumstances (the Cubs fired one of his assistants, so he quit), but just give him a blank check.

I'm sure the below average performance of Cubs hitters has nothing to do with them fielding half a team of AAAA washouts and guys who weren't even good hitters in their prime.


If anyone from the Cubs says these words at a press conference in regard to team priorities , I hope someone throws a shoe at them.

Seems fine? He's clearly on the decline and doesn't hit well enough anymore to bother having as a DH. The Yankees wish they could nontender Stanton lol

Yeah it sucks, surgery he needs is 3-6 months just to put normal weight back on the foot, and recovery generally trends closer to the 5-6 month range. There's an absolute best case scenario where he recovers quickly with no issues and is good to go for Spring Training, but more likely he won't be back in games until May.

Sucks massively for him, Canario had a pretty good shot of breaking camp with the MLB team next season.

Edit: Someone on the Baseball Reddit is tracking this and Stroman appears to trying to claim this is just some generic statement about all media. It's really weird and he's clearly trying to Tweet his way out of this.

The only positive test Sammy Sosa got hit with was the exact same "unofficial and confidential" one that got Ortiz. Sammy also never got shot around extremely fishy circumstances. Who the gently caress is not going to recognize David Ortiz in the DR? I don't believe it was a case of mistaken identity. And yet Ortiz cruises into the HoF (with 70 fewer homers) and Sammy gets snubbed.

e: nvm was remembering wrong

There was a case where someone got caught cause he tried to gather his bat pieces instead of running it out but that wasn't Sammy, can't remember who it was

Sammy did cork his bat though and blamed it on it being the wrong bat, claimed it was a BP bat that he used to hit long homeruns for the fans

Despite all the dingers Sammy hit, he has less bWar than Bobby Abreu which I find hilarious

Sosa has 609 HRs and 58.6 bWar. That has to be one of the lowest war per dinger
