In honor of Verlander's third career no hitter, I present the sad case of Larry Corcoran, pitcher in the 1880's who also had three career no hitters and died in obscurity. https://sports.yahoo.com/unbelievable-story-larry-corcoran-first-pitcher-three-no-hitters-141714011.html This is a pro click.

Sydin posted:I mean yeah probably, but I'm not sure what tantalizing trade offer they're going to get for a platoon-hitting DH with a career .814 OPS. I doubt Theo is going to offload him for a bag of baseballs, and unless they actually do go out and sign Castellanos who is 100% guaranteed to turn into a pumpkin the second he inks his overpay deal it's not like the Cubs have anybody better ready and waiting to replace him in LF. I for one, would be quite miffed. And you shut your drat mouth about Schwarber. He's Barry Bonds, Ted Williams, and Babe Ruth combined and also the greatest human who has ever lived.

Tom Gorman posted:Actually his bones are made out of flesh too. The man has no skeleton and he's putting up these kinds of numbers. It's remarkable. Kyle Schwarber was made in a lab when scientists were trying to create the perfect beefy baseball player. Also, his natural aroma is sawdust and freshly-baked bread.

Put Domingo and Addison Russell in the octagon together. The one who survives isn't banned from the league but there will be no mandate to sign him. And the team has to make a donation equal to the size of his contract to RAINN or a similar organization.

Pancakes posted:Cubs should be rooting for the Reds like crazy these next three games. If the Brewers lose not only does it get the Cubs closer to them but it makes the final series for the Cardinals potentially less meaningful, depending on the results in Arizona. Nah. It's dead. And even if a miracle happened and they made the WC game they'd lose in Cub fashion. No thanks.

Timby posted:So assuming Maddon gets fired about five minutes after the end of the game on Sunday, who are the probable candidates for Epstein to chase as manager? I imagine Girardi's near the top of the list (even though I think he and Epstein would mix about as well as oil and water), but I'm having a hard time thinking of anyone else. His contract is up so they won't fire him, just not renew him.

Miz Kriss posted:My grandpa always said “being a Cubs fan teaches you how to deal with disappointment,” and growing up where the majority of people are Cardinals fans helped build that armor. However, 2016 gave me a taste of that ambrosia and now I keep wanting another sip. My Dad honestly thought he'd never see a championship in his lifetime. He was the first person I called after the final out in Game 7.
