The Jeff Samardzija Defenestration Thread

Indeed. After Rondon blew it, I was hoping the Cubs would give him the W. Fuckers.

So, why does everyone hate the Cubs' best player again? I feel like I'm missing something.

Because of his hair. I have never had a good thought about a ballplayer with hair like that. And I never will.

If he changed it to something like this I'd be all in:



Let's see what happens.

I thought only Jon did and it was just sort of a meme and contained Pen-approved hatred and such and that not only does everybody not really hate Samarzdija, but I'm pretty nobody does.

(Except maybe Apex)

You're pretty?

Not even if he replaced the potatoes in his vest pockets with actual tits.

Also, I do sort of hate Snork. It has nothing to do with his abilities. Some people just want to watch the barn burn.

Apparently you guys aren't as quick to pull the trigger on the Firebarn thread as you are in the Deadpool section. Nevertheless...

Samardzija is one of seven pitchers since 1901 who has posted an ERA plus over 80 while starting at least 10 games and getting no wins. Samardzija's shit luck is on another level, though, because his ERA plus of 266 blows the other pitchers on that list out of the water. Ralph Beard's ERA plus of 111 from 1954 is the next-highest mark on that list, and Beard only struck out 17 guys in his 10 starts.

That's when Hector Rondon took the mound and immediately coughed up two runs. With that win snatched away from him, Samardzija earned yet another crappy place in history: he became the first pitcher in 100 years to make 16 straight starts and tally zero wins while posting an ERA under three.

I don't really care if he didn't get the pitcher's win. That means nothing, so I don't know why such a big deal is being made about his "shit luck". He's been fucking nails. Everyone sees it and everyone knows it. He gon get paid.

I checked those last 16 starts because I have a computer. If I did puterin' and internetin' right, the Cubes are 2-14 in those games. Buncha goddamn gutless fucking assholes.

Pretty sure there's a mistake in your puterin'.

I meant 2-14...typo. And dumbness.

We speculated a ways back that Homer Bailey's 6/$105m was a good comp, but Samardzija is probably above that now. Which is fine with me. I do wonder if he sort of wants out though, regardless of what the Cubs offer, based on some of his comments. That'd be disappointing, because keeping him and adding Masterson or Lester in the offseason (which they should absolutely have room for) for, is a really nice 1-2 at the top of the rotation.

So Travis Wood sucks now?

Travis is 3. Jake is 4. Edlose is 5.

You can never have enough pitching. The more pitching you have the easier it is to set up the play action pass.

This is a for real question...you think the Cubs are going to spend on a starter like that if the Cubs do somehow keep Samardzija and Wood?

I think they could. They don't need to spend big money on bats.

I don't think I understand your point. You're saying the Cubs shouldn't spend money to get another good player because they already have Samardzija and Wood?
