Sad People Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Surprised to see him leave, Cubs cant afford him anymore? IIRC I think he was a fan favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ricketts are masquerading like they’re poor. He’s been inconsistent, and he got benched for a little bit because of his lack of effort in left field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubes20 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 The HR that ended the Cardinals' run of NL Central dominance. I will never forget you, my portly adult son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never forget you, my portly adult son. He was such a good hitter in college. What happened? I loved Schwarber (as you well know) so it made no sense to me that he struggled to hit .200 in a season. Did he sell out for power? Is the Cubs coaching staff that bad (which would explain Andy friggin' Haines being terrible)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little of that, but it's my belief that the extreme shifting the past fews years had a tremendous detriment on Schwarbs. He would hit rockets that would end up being lineouts to the 2B playing in RF. Very easily to guess that it frustrated him a bit and he starting trying to just hit the ball 450 feet more often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thing is, was he a dead pull hitter in college? From what I remember, he was an all-fields hitter at IU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was more a "has power to all fields" type of thing, rather than a "uses all fields" thing. He was mostly a dead pull hitter since he stepped foot in the Cubs org. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Meh. Schwarber is the king of solo bombs. Moving Soto to RF and playing Schwarber in LF makes the worst defense in baseball somehow worse. Oh well, it's a one year deal. Maybe they can deal him at the deadline.
