Also, somehow the Mets trounced the Reds 8-0. Experts baffled!!
But seriously, folks: my nickname is pronounced "boat" whereas this imposter uses the obtuse American phonetic pronunciation "bo-tee" which is heinous. As my Dad would excoriate others, it's pronounced like the word "vote"!! You do vote don't you, or are you unpatriotic??!!
---
He's taken to using Bowie as part of his walk up music. I'll take him and that over you and your....communist every word should be pronounced the same as other words bullshit.
What do we know about exit velocity in terms of variance? Is it a "skill"? In Bote's case is it likely just that he's been seeing more fastballs because he's not feared by pitchers and he's punishing them or ... or ... OR! Maybe Bote is one of those guys that just starts mashing out of nowhere at around age 25 to 27, just like a couple others on the list Moses quotes.
It's almost certainly the former, but it's fun to dream as a fan.
One of the fun things about being a Cubs fan in this new era is that young hitters keep coming up and doing REALLY WELL immediately. It started in 2014 with Soler and Baez (who was actually terrible, but did hit a GW HR in his first game) and then the flood started in 2015 with Bryant, Russell and Schwarber, Willson came along in 2016 as did Almora (who was immediately spectacular with the glove, if not bat), then Happ in 2017 and just when you thought the cupboard was totally bare and there wouldn't be another one in the pipeline, along comes Bote in 2018.
Too late. In my head, and in the heads of everyone here, you are now BOE-TEE.
You can thank David Bote.
You could have given me his initials, team, and position, as well as all of his career stats, and I still would not have guessed.
My favorite exchange from The Breakfast Club is Emilio Estevez's cool jock character talking to Anthony Michael Hall's dorky brain character after AMH flashes his fake ID:
"What do you need a fake ID for?"
"So I can vote!"
Dee Gordon?
Because the manager isn't listening to Oquendo, like Matheny did. Oquendo knows who are idiot baserunners and who aren't and coached Matheny on how to play it safely. This guy doesn't care one bit about established data and is trying to re-establish the data from scratch and ignore the previous two months of data gathering.
That went North in a fury.
Well, that didn't happen ...
1-2
2-2!
Hell's Bells!
GIO GOES BOOM!
It would be a good nickname if he gave off even a smidgen of heavy metal vibe, but it just ain’t there.
Now can Sevvy hold a 6-2 lead?
Can’t imagine Giolito is done giving it up, is he? And he has to give them some outs given the length of last nights game.
So far, so good ...
EDIT: Now 4 minutes later Kevin Long has been ejected, I think for uttering, "Because he said so!" to the HP ump. I'm guessing he meant that if Juan Soto thinks it's a ball, then it MUST be a ball, his strike zone command is that good.
So far, so good ...
That was Iraq for ya !
He didn't look angry at all. I'd guess Gibson just doesn't want to hear anything from a 19 year old. What an #######.
plenty of good seats.
miasmians?
i am 63, but i bet i could keep up with him around the bases.
Yes, but that was badly misplayed and he would have had a stand up triple if he tried.
Is he available??
I saw a stat earlier that something like 9 of his 13-ish home runs have been hit against the Nationals.
1 hit. First batter if the game.
Totally ok and needed, they were starting to get on everyone's nerves anyway. Off with their heads !
Q threw 31 pitches in the 2nd. He's been great except that inning.
Wtf willson
it does not.
What about 4-3?
Russell just threw that at baez's foot
Also, Tyler Chatwood has been unimpressive this year that I can't wrap my head around the idea that he was actually someone who got a multi-year FA deal.
Down 8 with one more inning to go? I'd be shocked if he's not out there until he gets three outs.
The Cubs aren't going to really extend their lead on the division, playing against non-divisional rivals, it's the head to head crap that is going to matter.
