Do they still have the ball in plexiglass above the scoreboard?

Well, to be clear, I wasn't asking to differentiate between ethnic favorite players but I think Dunston was Javy before Javy was Javy.

He'd try to stretch any borderline single into a double and had a rocket arm and struck out all the time. The guy was electric to watch.

Javy has so much power and flash. Dunston did have that wild cannon.

It is pretty amazing that of all the core guys the Cubs had that Schwarber is doing the best.

I still have my Schwarber Cubs jersey. I miss him.

I was the only guy screaming about Babe. I even put my money where my mouth was a few seasons in a row.

I'm very intrigued by Oneil Cruz on Pittsburgh. Dude has a rocket arm and crazy potential.

I'm going to claim him as an Irishman.

I’ll try to watch him some.

Yeah Schwarbs has quite a bit of talent. The power is obvious. He is easy to like. Such a contrast to Bryant.

I tend to agree with Jorr about bating the best guy first. The issue comes from the fact the players are not robots and have been taught all of their life about how certain spots in the order have specific meanings. It can be hard to get guys over that from a mental perspective.

It would be nice if your best hitter weren't also a power hitter.

Even with all the home runs only a 1.4 WAR and a OPS in the low 800s. I'd put Schwrbino and Vaughn in the Chicago baseball hall of the overrated.

I don't want anyone on the team who hits .209 I don't give a fuck how many homeruns they hit.

I think its pretty clear that he sits on certain pitches and when he guesses correctly he hits the shit out of the ball. They are almost always solo shots and seem to be in losses. He is an ideal playoff pinch hitter but with that many dongs and that many dollars he is going to play everyday. I think he will stat whore on bad teams. Good teams will ask him to do more and he can do no more than guess and hack.

Continues to kick ass at the one-run home run.

39HRs/81RBIs

I hope the Phillies get colder than shit just to stuff it up them 3,000 fuckin' people that didn't get drivin' in every fuckin' day, because if they're the real coaches, they can kiss my fuckin' ass right downtown and PRINT IT!

81 RBIs is damn good for anyone this time of year, but especially for a leadoff man.

A banner year for him.

I see the point. But I also sit on my front porch and scream at the sky and tell kids to get off my lawn (even though they are my kids) while reminiscing about the daily double.

That sounds like something the Observer would say.

But to refute the claim, I have never been to a Jeni's ice cream.
