The Kyle Schwarber 2016 Watch

[CBStew]

But really, a Gibson-esque Schwarbomb to win a game or two at Wrigley would be pretty sweet too.

The Cubs winning the World Series without Schwarber, then adding him for 2017 will be like the scene in "The Princess Bride" where Wesley says he's not lefthanded.

That is an excellent analogy.

Yeah, but at that point wasn't Westley had his back (literally) up against a wall and hadn't won shit.

I'd rather we dust him off in the Series. It'd be like Die Hard where McClane murders anything and everything in his path, then gets to the final boss and it looks like he's screwed but instead he has a SURPRISE KYLE SCHWARBER taped to his back and just continues wrecking shit.

Kyle Schwarber being taped to anybody's back is now an image in my head that I will not be able to shake off without years of extensive therapy.  (Physical therapy as well as mental.)

He definitely wouldn't be able to play a capable outfield by this fall (it was debatable if he could before the injury), so there's no way the benefit of having him for a few games as a DH in a theoretical World Series outweighs the long-term risk of rushing him back.

Nah.

You're probably awesome at parties.

Don't mind me. Just bumpin' this here Schwarbs thread.

Kyle Schwarber is absolutely going to be on this roster for the World Series.

[J. Walter Weatherman]

Kyle Schwarber is absolutely going to be on this roster for the World Series.

This is still so fucking weird.

Also totally expected from wire to wire, and so obviously the right thing.

But somehow also so weird and utterly unreal.

[Shooter]

Wasn't his first career dong at Progressive Field?

[Slaky]

Wasn't his first career dong at Progressive Field?

Yes

Wasn't his first career dong at Progressive Field?

Yes

He also homered in his first-ever mlb Spring-Training AB--a grand slam, in fact, and on his 22nd birthday--for anyone concerned about his ability to hit live pitching *just like that* tomorrow.

[Canadouche]

There are reports coming out that he will DH tomorrow.

[World's #1 Astros Fan]

There are reports coming out that he will DH tomorrow.

As if the Cubs merely being in the World Series wasn't enough to look forward to, hoo boy.

[Quality Start Machine]

Seriously, this fucking guy.

[Canadouche]

Seriously, this fucking guy.

[SKO]

Get fucked, Kirk Gibson. Kyle is the new go to for injured warrior

[CubFaninHydePark]

I'm pretty sure someone will have to go Tonya Harding on his knee to keep him out of LF this weekend.
