achillesforever6 posted:Yeah and after hooking the fans they realized they could use that good will to let a lot of the reasons why they were good go away (too be fair AJ Burnett retired) I see you've fully accepted the "cheapness" narrative to explain every move. Neil Walker was nearing the end of his contact, he'd had a ton of injury issues over the years (and now needs back surgery), and they thought he had peaked. The Pirates felt confident with Harrison and Kang (not to mention Freese and Hanson) and dealt from a position of relative strength to address a desperate need. Re-signing him would've been a feel-good move, yes, but not a very smart baseball one. Niese ended up sucking terribly while Neil went on a tear, so it looks worse in retrospect, but I don't remember financial flexibility being cited when he was traded. Unless you're mad about the financial flexibility of not dumping extensions on aging, poor-value, expensive players. The trades didn't kill this team. Even with Locke and Vogelsong and Niese in the rotation to start the season, we somehow stuck around in the race this late. Liriano falling off his traditional cliff, Cole's inconsistency and injuries, Cutch's lost season, Hughes and Watson forgetting how to be effective, and Kang's rape slump did way way more to submarine us, and I don't see how those things are on the FO

Retail Slave posted:Such an incredible talent gone just like that. Just a few days ago I read an article about how the Marlins were possibly contemplating trading him in the offseason and I was giddy at the thought of the Cubs possibly adding him to the rotation. Explosionface posted:I read that same article, I think. I was definitely excited about the idea of having such a cool player on the Cubs. But now,

If the fielders had been taking the game seriously, they would've caught all those hits!

Sydin posted:I don't disagree with you that he's being a shitter about it. He was mad Montero got pulled and then he proceeded to give up three runs in the 5th, but that's still ignoring that he'd given up four runs in the previous four so it's not like he was on some kind of roll. Hopefully he channels his anger into falling down a mineshaft and not coming out until his career is long forgotten.

Hopefully he can channel his anger into throwing a good NLDS Game 3.
