Batting .313 since the break, with an OPS over 1.000.
Yet Chuck singled him out as one of the players who needed to hit better. Is Chuck a racist? I don't know but yes

The best part is Chuck has cultivated a Chuck-like band of acolytes on Twitter who also love to scorch the earth when the results are less than ideal.  That dude Jamfan40--some fatalistic asshat whom I unfollowed during the 5-15 stretch last year when he declared they were done-- all of a sudden began appearing in my mentions after I jumped on Chuck for ranting on Schwarber for having too many K's in a 5-game stretch or some shit like that.  Twisted Knickers, some other short-sighted fuckstick who's tried to troll me for not declaring the Cubs dead last month also joined the dogpile. It's nice that Twitter can unite Chuck with so many other petulant, entitled fans with whom to throw his toys around the room.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

I have muted and blocked that JamFan dude and yet people still screenshot his terrible takes just to yell at them. I'm obviously no saint when it comes to Twitter Ranting but that dude has never missed an opportunity to dive off the deep end, which doesn't bother me except that he is also an asshole to anyone who won't join him in his DOOM ranting

To the contrary, not only do I not "cultivate" anyone, but the "No, Chuck" theme has spread to people who have never set foot in this dark corner of the intertubes.

I have been greeted as a liberator.

I don't mind hot takes, it's the "being an asshole to anyone not agreeing with your hot takes" part I object to. That JamFan dude is a straight up dick

I don't know about the double-breasted suit, but the white headdress is fine until Labor Day.

Lol at the decision to IBB Heyward, who can't hit anything, to put a free runner on for Javy's big, throbbing dong

I felt so good about that situation, but even I didn't envision that Javy'd hit it 800 feet.

He threw the slider away.  It went over the middle of the plate. It then went to Scottsdale.

Yeah I can't fathom why anyone would rather face Javy than Heyward. Javy is worse against RHP than LHP by a lot, true. He's also still better against RHP than Heyward. Also the worst case scenario vs Heyward is he slaps a single and moves the runner to 2nd. The worst case scenario against Javy is what happened.
