Yes Movement – 2020 Chicago Cubs Player Previews: We Comin’ Out The Yu

Sam Fels March 12, 2020 0

Funny that this one comes a day after Steven Souza Jr. As at this time last year, Yu Darvish was viewed kind of in the same light, except with a much heavier contract and much more pressure. He was injured, and we didn’t know if he would even be upright much less effective. First he […]

We Know Your Nature – 2019 Cubs Player Reviews: Yu Darvish

Sam Fels October 28, 2019 0

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times. Actually, it was the reverse for Yu this season. He was fighting it for most of the first half of the season. Then he was able to locate his fastball, started throwing a knuckle curve simply because he thought it would be fun, […]

Series Recap – Zombieland

Sam Fels September 22, 2019 0

It’s strange, because there’s not much more that’s new to say. I’ve written series recaps before that pointed out how that given series was a perfect demonstration of the systematic failure at every level of the Cubs this year. Ownership, front office, managing, training staff, players. Every single thing has simply not been up to […]

This Is Your Mess, Theo

Sam Fels August 28, 2019 0

I was actually going to save this post for when the Cubs collapse/utter failure was complete, which looking at the schedules is probably going to happen against the Cardinals, and possibly even in St. Louis. And after a summer following THAT team winning a Cup, that’s a little more than I can handle right now. […]

Yu Darvish Is Incredibly Weird

Sam Fels August 22, 2019 0

But you knew that. He’s also a hero, because he’s dunking on David Kaplan in a second language, when Kap can’t even manage his first. Darvish’s entire Cub career has been hard to get your arms around. His first was ruined by an injury that at first even his own team wasn’t sure was actually […]
