Cubs vs Indians 2016 World Series Discussion

Love Zorilla

101.7mph. Wow.

[HERPDERP]

I swear I thought Chapman balked there

[baubau]

Davis was never this good with the jays

 

Indeed... I still have nightmares about this swing:

[Orgfiller]

Painting at 102. Good luck lol.

[TheHurl]

May not have been a strike in that AB, but once it's that speed the ump is just guessing too

[ComeTogether]

What an arm.

 

Get some insurance runs. Win one at Wrigley.

[Orgfiller]

Davis was never this good with the jays

 

If you weren't some bandwagon troll, you would know that this was exactly how Davis was with the Blue Jays

[baubau]

Hey, hey you. You said Russell will be a top 5 shortstop in 5 years? I say NAY! How we doing this bet? What metric or metrics will we use to judge the top 5?

[ComeTogether]

His 105.1 mph in 2010 was a MLB record.

 

NYY gave him and Miller up? wtf

[Spanky99]

I've heard enough of Eddie Vedder on the radio for a lifetime and now he's ruining baseball

 

You're an idiot. No one needs to hear your opinion.

Most rbi, either that or highest average exit velocity

They got a pretty serious haul in return...that the AL east is going to have to deal with in the coming years.

4 win player in his second year as a 22 year old with improving walk, strikeout and power numbers isn't good enough for you?

[Orgfiller]

You see, with a swing like that I just can't bring myself to comprehend Heyward's struggles at the plate.

[TheHurl]

Jason Heyward's best AB of the year

[TheHurl]

I just think Chapman hitting is idiotic. But I've learned to never question Maddon.

[baubau]

He said top 5. I am going to dispute that. I didn't say he wasn't good. Not disputing that.

[Spanky99]

Take the bet. Whatever it is?

[baubau]

Damn straight! Man em up Spank.

Yes, I heard. But with all the big salary guys retiring, and Yanks payroll, they can just get hitters like Edwin and Bautista. A few top starters and they are set. Untouchable from 6-9 innings. Chapman, Betances, Miller.

Ban this piece of s***.

I actually said top 5 "hitting" Shortstop within 5 years. I stand by my statement.

I could see this actually.

He was top 5?

Or they can get under the luxury tax. Reset their penalty number and save about $200 Million when they bring in the Kershaw, Machado and Harper in 2018.

[TheHurl]

Damn straight! Man em up Spank.

 

I'm good with whatever terms.

[Brownie19]

Heyward stealing - trying to induce a wild throw (likely the only way he'll score with Chapman hitting). Really smart move.

[Spanky99]

Addy Russell was a top 5 fWAR SS player? I don't get the argument? I just walked into it, but...
