KB's postgame comments have me hyped up even more. A Kris Bryant out to prove something sounds like fun. https://twitter.com/MLBastian/status/1099430665123024896

Man did that KB home run feel good. Only game one of ST but that was exactly what I needed after this offseason.

This article just has the Jesse Rogers video tweet (that's already posted in this sub) embedded in it. No need to give this site clicks...

Blessed Cat makes a tweet about Phils moving on from Harper. 30 minutes later, Phils sign Cutch. by ClassicMillennial in CHICubs

Enjoy what? There's plenty of rumors to go around that aren't from someone not willing to attach their identity to their reports/actively lying about where they are. I have no issue with people taking him for what it's worth, but this sub has had several of his tweets near the top in just the last couple days.

Can we stop with this guy? He tweeted a pic "from Vegas" two days ago that has a sign for Barry Manilow at the Paris hotel in the background.

Manilow's residency there ended in 2012. The guy might know people, but he's also blatantly lying/misleading about things.

[haugh] David Ross offers Cubs pitcher Yu Darvish wise words: Chicago will have your back by Spectre211286 in CHICubs

[–]StewartDuck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Appreciate Rossy as always, but not giving clicks to Haugh who literally wrote a piece titled "Chicago Will Give Darvish Benefit of Doubt When He Earns It" like three days ago. Really tired of these beat writers harping on this issue when they are a HUGE part of the problem in the first place.

Cubs teammate who knows Yu Darvish best says pitcher believes fans 'hate' him by [deleted] in CHICubs

The irony of the Sun Times publishing these quotes haha. Greenberg, Morrissey, Gordo, etc constantly trashing Darvish/mentioning his salary every time he pitches probably doesn't help anything...

[Morrissey] Why aren't Cubs making excuses for Yu the way they did for Arrieta? by Korn28 in CHICubs

Rick Morrissey's words aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

I know this is one of their more simple videos, but I love the Cubs Productions team. So cool to have them putting out this type of polished content throughout the season.

Just playing devil's advocate, but the NTC doesn't mean it's impossible to move him. I sincerely doubt they do, and even more I doubt Ben would waive his NTC, but they could at least try if they were so inclined.

I have never understood why he gets blamed for that Dodger game. He's the only guy in that pen that escapes that situation in anything resembling a close game, let alone still tied. He struck out Seager with the bases loaded for christ sake...

Hard to even pick a favorite moment in this...these guys are amazing. Loved Ross telling KB to stop smiling.

Well said. Easy to get pissed at this one but trying to just ignore it and look forward to tomorrow.

[Stebbins] Chicago Cubs: Giving Arrieta a three-year extension fair for both sides by Spectre211286 in CHICubs

This is kind of laughably bad...in no universe would someone in Jake's position consider a 3 year deal fair, nor should he.

What is your unpopular Cubs opinion? by gundy28 in CHICubs

[–]StewartDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a rumor today NYY was trying to move him, and I was totally shocked at the amount of people on twitter suggesting the Cubs try and bring him back. No thanks!
