Kolek planning to go pro
Maybe if it was 1 of their 5 starters. All 5? Hmm...
Every Cubs starter lost 1-3 MPH on his fastball this season. Hmm...
Me too. If you could show me any other time in the history of baseball that every single starter saw their velocity decrease from one season to the next I will stop laughing.I'll wait.
Just shows how much adversity those guys overcame. To lose all that velocity and compete at that age and still win the division...impressive.
Yeah what great adversity they overcame to win a division in which their payroll is $34 million more than the 2nd highest payroll in the division. A measly $100 million more than the team that is in second place in the division. Unbelievable the type of adversity they had to overcome this year to win the NL Central.
That drastic velocity drop is unprecedented though! Name me a team that saw that type of drop in velocity AND still went on to win the division.
Yeah it is unprecedented. Still waiting on someone to provide me with that ever happening before.
Quintana wasn't on the Cubs last year.
