I remembered that post and was looking for it but didn't go back enough pages.

Any excuse is a good excuse to post the Small Sample Size song, IMO.

e: I remember the Schwarbomb during the playoffs that one year and it was pretty amazing so I sincerely hope he's actually good.

Idk if I can even really blame the front office they did do some stuff and you can't really blame them for banking on the guys who won it in 2016. It's just confusing, on paper this team should be really good but they are so incredibly streaky. They'll have a couple good series where they look dominate and then a week or two were they can hardly muster a couple runs per game.

It's kind of incredible that the Brewers are doing better considering the run differential differential, Pythagoras is rolling in his grave.

It's going to be aggravating watching the Cubs keep hope alive by sweeping the incredibly bad shell of the Pirates the team is trotting out this month lol

These have seriously been the worst lineups I can remember, even going back to the 20 years in the wilderness.

If it makes you feel any better, giving them hope at this point is way crueler than just ending the misery.

Sometimes I'll wear my hat backwards, but not as a fashion statement, just because it is more comfortable on my head that way sometimes and I don't want to take it off and hold it or something.

Also, I hate the Cardinals way more than the Cubs. I'm fine with Cubs suffering but someone needs to step the gently caress up in the NL Central.

I recognize Jerry Meals, for blowing that walk off safe call at home plate where the runner was out by 10', and only because I can vividly hear the Pirates commentator yelling "You've got to be kidding me Jerry Meals"

Have you considered that Jerry Meals is innocent and got the call right 🤔

e: gently caress I was beaten so I am editing the video out for space conscious reasons. See above.

Also, Sam Holbrook is probably fine in that I mostly recognize him for just that one ludicrous call but please don't troll me, MLB.
