Probably doesn't deserve his own thread yet, but Matt Szczur deserves some love for turning himself from basically a non-prospect into a useful 4th-5th outfielder. Sounds like he's worked hard to revamp his swing and add power, plus develop a bit of plate discipline. Who knows how long it'll last, but good for him.

Way to jinx him.

QuoteCongrats and welcome back to the bigs @Ryan_Kalish !  Unbelievable commitment, hard work, and belief in yourself to get back.  #nevergiveup

Assume that means Szczur is DLing

Hell where's Ruggiano now? Let's get the whole 2014 band back together.

He's probably coaching high school baseball somewhere, or running a dealership, which is where he belongs.

Maybe next time, Pissburgh. 20-6, 6 games up on 2nd place, 7 up on STL (7 and 8 if you go by loss column). Hot damn.

Captain Butthurt Sean Rodriguez will make a perfect Cardinal someday.

The 2016 Cubs:

We will punch you in the balls.

Repeatedly.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

They scored 6 runs today. And their RS/g went down...

Still underperforming their Pythagorean and BaseRuns records, I believe. #FireMadstink.

That or a blockbuster, winter-clinching signing but the White Sox.

If he had gone out to the mound after Strop he would have been a chalk outline.

I missed that inning. What I made out on Twitter was that Strop quick-pitched him and Rodriguez got upset. What did he do?

The Cubs won 16 games last season by 5 or more runs. They've won 13 this year.

I missed that inning. What I made out on Twitter was that Strop quick-pitched him and Rodriguez got upset. What did he do?

Yeah he quick pitched him but not as outright as he's done before.
Rodriguez stared him down because he's a punk.
Strop was kind of surprised so the Cub's dugout let Rodriguez have it.
Rodriguez acted out while still standing in the box and the ump had to tell him to sit down before he gets tossed.
Rodriguez went back to the bench and did his regular I'llcutyoumotherfuckerroutine.
But more maturely than in the past without punching a Gatorade Jug.

Strop then pitched to the next batter while everyone laughed.
