Feels worth mentioning that even with his awful 9 K in a row streak or whatever Kyle is at .242/.375/.455/.830 in August and .247/.350/.551/.901 since he returned from Iowa.


8. He only got to 2 strikes on his way to number 9 before being hit by a pitch.


That's absolutely staggering.

Everyone knows the great ones get hit after only 1 strike.
I am really not sure why Chuck has chosen to die on the Baez/Schwarber suck hills when there's a perfectly useless Jason Heyward right there.

You're completely missing the point of Internet Chuck.
Your toilet's broken, Dave, but I fixed it.

I'm just laughing because I'm old enough to remember when Internet Chuck responded to Kris Bryant's July 2015 slump by telling us how "Kyle Schwarber is Everything Kris Bryant Was Supposed to Be". Life comes at you fast, I guess.

I guess it was "Schwarber is what we all wanted out of Bryant and Soler".

Large Adult Baseball Son struck out 8 times in a row and it lowered his OBP in August all the way down to .422.

He followed the 8 Ks by reaching base 8 times in a row.

Right, my point was to point out to certain Chucklefucks that strikeouts are just outs, and Our Large Adult Baseball Son is not really making that many of them.

This was May.


This one didn't age well.

Quote20. Kyle Hendricks – As fifth starters go he's a pretty good one. [........] My guess is that when the Cubs make a trade to bring in a top notch starter to basically kick Lackey and Hammel down a notch in the playoff rotation that Kyle goes the other way in the trade.

Oof.

And though there's no record of it due to the ephemeral nature of the Slackbox, But I began floating the idea about Schwarber there around the second week of May.  I remember because PenFoe mocked me mercilessly for the suggestion.
