Jason Hammel Return Postage Paid, Spiral-Sliced Splooge Thread

[WTB...A RING FFS!!]

How about a little love for this guy? 4-0 since the break. He's pitched 24 IP and prob would've gone a bit more had there not been "NL Moments" as Joe likes to say. He's given up 4 ER's on only 16 H's/7 BB's with 21 K's. That's WAY better after the break than the last 2 years.

Anyone else think the low inning count correlates to his continued success?

Well, that and potato chips.

Yes I do. I was kinda baffled Cubs fans were mad that Joe pulled him in favor of Strop, because a third time through the order of Hammel vs Strop/Rondon/Shithead McThrowshard is not even up for debate. Of course Strop had to nearly cough up the lead on some bad luck grounders so the meatballs felt justified in their bitching.

Shithead McThrowshard

I was thinking Cuban Hull or Ebony Jet, but this one doesn't require nuance.

"avión negro" ?

Another great start. 2 in a row with no runs and only 1 ER in his last 20. Fuck me has this starting staff gone into full-on kill mode.

Last non-quality start was Matusz.

All y'all can kiss my ass. Except Tonk. And I think Huey. I'm too lazy to re-read this thread.

Huey was the one that literally tweeted at Jason Hammel that he wouldn't even be a Cub this year, so I think you're mistaken there.

Just the facts'd.

I'm actually surprised RV forgot this since he was so squealingly excited that Hammel's "roasting" of me marked his most favoritest day on teh Twitters.

I had already forgotten about this whole back and forth, but it is now clear to me that it still chaps your ass which kind of *does* make me squealingly excited.

To be fair, Huey's kinda permachapped.

Nice to see good Hammel again. He got a little pretty with his pitches which led to the only run he gave up, but was very good the other 5.
