OT: Other Sports 82

I agree. You just need to be in good shape and flexible to hit the ball far, you don't need to be jacked.

I saw Kershaw at a bar. He's a big guy and in decent shape but nothing about him screamed pro athlete.

Most of the professional baseball players I grew up with are either skinny fat or just in general shape. None of them are jacked or want to be. Mostly just functional stuff, range of motion.

Not surprised to see Cal leaving Kentucky.. Surprised its on his own terms though.

I don’t recognize this cubs team. Is the brewers manager this good?

Sample size. The Cubs are good. They're not great. Luckily the division is bad.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Too soon?

Seems like the same ol’ Cubs to me.

Horrific bullpen because this ownership sucks.

Cubs are a solid team. Same as last year, they’ll contend for a playoffs spot. And that’s all that can be expected given the offseason they had.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Embarrassing.

Embarrassing.

Could always be worse. Like 1-9 worse.

Nine unanswered is bad.

Nine unanswered is bad.

It sure is. It’s also one game out of 162 at the end of the day. They’ll win one they shouldn’t have eventually too. Bullpen needs some work, though.

The division sucks. The Cubs should respond. But this is a rough loss.

Mookie Betts has scored more runs than the Chicago White Sox thus far this season. Let that set in for a moment.

SELL THE f***ING TEAM JR!

I'm happy to see what he can do at my alma mater after the Muss Bus left for Cali. Hopefully he's bringing his recruiting class because we don't have one player on the roster currently.

Obsessed much?

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Obsessed much?

Suck much?

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Gonna suck til Jerry's dead, it is what it is. Doesn't bother me at this point, but keep on thinking you're clever or something.

 

[TLEH]

Cubs bullpen is ass.

Not going to kick Sox fans while they are down. Jerry is a dogshit owner, no worse feeling as a fan. Bad ownership is a team killer.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Counsell is cocky, thinks he can win with the current team if they get him a bullpen.

Appears they failed the assignment.

Sox 7 games behind Already...season over...Already.

 

[HeisenBaez]

Last night loss is a bad one BUT every team will have a couple of those a year. Cubs just got theirs' early this year. Keeping Assad into the 6th and bringing in Cuas in a dirty innings were stupid decisions by Counsell but every manager has those. Counsell has been great so far, as for as I know, last night is one off for him.

Kick the Padres ass the next two games and move on.

As for Cuas, if you cannot handle pitching in a 8-2 game in early April, then you literally have no role on a Major League roster. Cubs either needs to send him back to Iowa (I believe he still has options) or release him.

It was over months ago long before it began. Trading Cease before season just meant there was nothing but Robert to watch this year and now, he is injured again

The signing of all these dogshit SP because we had nothing on farm thru years of poor drafting/talent evaluation is major reason team is in dumps

I was always excited to see Crochet. But yeah, there weren't many reasons to watch. I've only watched opening day, and one other game of Crochet's. It's so painful to watch them.

To be honest I forgot Crochet existed until it was announced he was opening day starter that is how little i paid attention to spring training this year

Its nice to see him back and hopefully he establishes himself as a good young SP as this team badly needs him to do just that

 

[hawksrule]

Hendricks has also had an awful start to the year. Cubs scored nine runs his last outing so it didn’t matter, but he’s been ugly.
