Jorge Soler Zero Percent Financing Thud On The Shower Door SPLOOGE Fest

Jesus. You people really fucking love Andre Dawson. Noted. I was four when he left, so I have no memory of him. My earliest Cub memories are from 1993, I think, because I do remember Rick Wilkins being awesome. I'm sorry to have missed out.

Andre Dawson was your father, and you hate him anyway?

Bump for 4-5 and one amazing double on a fucking 100 MPH fastball.

Dude.

I read he was second behind A-Rod in exit velocity among all MLB players. Guessing he may have bumped up a notch with that.

You know what else has outstanding exit velocity? Hint: It's all over the shower door.

No hits, 12 Ks in his last 5 games. That isn't good.

Yeah, Maddon said he was working with him on not expanding his strike zone. He's chased a lot of pitches down lately, I think maybe the success he's had hitting low pitches led to him getting greedy.

The long con

[SKO]

He say "fuck you, Jobu". He do it himself

[Quality Start Machine]

Since the last one worked...

Nobody around here has gotten laid lately.

That's not good.

Would it interest anybody to know that Soler's OBP is actually slightly higher than it was in his callup last year?  His SLG is significantly down, and I know his strikeouts are up but his stat line overall is far from atrocious. I know I'm not alone in thinking he's doing worse than his callup last year, but when you look at his numbers, he's hanging in there.  Just wanted to inject some joyful positive to pre-empt my own little concern with his sudden propensity to chase shit low and away.  I think it's a matter of him making a big splash, and pitchers adjusting to him and now it's on him to adjust to them.  I'm certain he sees a lot more pitches per at-bat than last year if that helps.  Once he stops chasing that shit there are going to be big boners and wet panties around the ole' ballyard.

Once pitchers find a weakness, they will barrage him with exploiting it. I read on fangraphs about Mike Trout's weakness with high fastballs which was magnified in the Royals series last postseason. Since then, Trout has adjusted...Soler needs to make his adjustment too. And low and away junk pitches are unhittable...so hopefully Soler can learn to lay off.
