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

[CT III]

Joe Maddon has done a little better than OK throughout his managerial career with managing his roster.

I'm just going to go ahead and believe he knows what he's doing here better than any of us do.

I think that sending Jorge down would be damaging to his ego and he'd lose touch with some of the people who are trying to help him the most on and off the field for awhile. I know there are people who will say so what, grow up, you big pussy, but those people don't know what's best for him any more than I do. We're talking about a team that has developed talent for the big league club at an astounding rate. Maybe they think what's best for Jorge is that he gets acclimated to life in the U.S. and the big leagues at a pace that isn't putting a ton of pressure on him to perform. Just do what you can, big kid, listen and learn. Ask questions. Go buy a dog and get some smoking hot black latina chick to live in your apartment and feed you both. Guess what, the weather will get warmer and so will your bat. We've seen it happen. Love, love, love.

Or send him to Iowa where he can crush the shitty pitching, eat at taco bell and show up for games without a belt on. Meh.

The Des Moines area actually has a severe lack of Taco Bells. It's mostly Taco Johns here, which is garbage.

Also again, you mistake me. I don't want Jorge sent down. I want Jorge to stay, and play, and hit, but it's possible he's just not going to get those opportunities while Javy and La Stella are making a more compelling argument for playing time. I was just asking if they might be better off letting him get into a rhythm as an every day player and coming back up whenever those two inevitably cool off.

You can say being sent down is damaging to his ego but perhaps so is being benched for Matt Szczur and getting judged on one or two PAs a game once or twice a week?

What's best for the Cubs is what's best for Jorge in long run. And I'm sure the question has popped into Theo/Jed/Joe etc's mind because that's what they do for a living. It seems we have empirical evidence that the answer to the question about whether they should send Jorge down is no.

So ask the question again a different way and see if you get someone here to agree with you. What's the harm in that?

Level-headed Apex is quite possibly this message board's best character yet.

I've been going to church and shit.

Me too. I'm actually kind of enjoying it.

As the old expression goes "there's no such thing as an atheist in a foxholehorrid dystopian reality where the presidential election is between a fascist and a warmongering harpy and we're all heading full speed towards societal collapse."

True, although my move predated Trump's ascension by several months. It was more a case of finding a new parish because our local one is now staffed by a Vatican sanctioned exorcist who clearly  believes in the supernatural (he may also believe in the show Supernatural but I cannot confirm that) and his assistant, a Polish guy who seems nice enough but once gave a 40 minute homily on how we as Catholics should be prepared for persecution at the hands of people who think its strange we are not allowed to chew gum an hour prior to receiving Communion.

So now I go to a chapel that's run by some very nice nuns.

But yes, I am very happy to be where I am in advance of the coming dystopia.

Isn't a belief in the Supernatural part of the job of any religious man?

A fair point. But the more I think about it, the more I think he probably considers the show Supernatural to be very true to life.

How can you say that?  http://www.venganza.org/about/

Theo Epstein just told open microphones in Cubs pregame that they can't really afford to develop guys who are going through slumps this year. They're trying to win the World Series so they have to be realistic and tell guys this is what they need from them or else.

If he's telling the God's honest truth, Taco John's might be about to snag a very large and forlorn regular. Hope someone down there can help him order.

So now I go to a chapel that's run by some very nice nuns.

any of them fly?

And how in the living blue fuck did a TV show about a nun that flies ever get greenlighted?

It was also a time where there was a sitcom about a German prison camp, and the Beverly Hillbillies got super Bowl-type ratings. It was a helluva time.

It checks out, there are enough Hitler references.

Now I wait for Eli to come along, say something far more negative about Jorge than my simple question, but say it in that understated Eli way, and everyone will shrug and move on while I go "wait, why did everyone jump down my throat"

I was out of town for a few days and do not currently have a strong opinion about Jorge except that I hope he gets better.

This probably isn't what you were looking for.
