Love me some Blackburn day. Pitch better than last time, guy.

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Christian Villanueva up to a .455 SLG% after last night's HR.

[ctcf]

I think there's a decent chance Erick Leal goes in the AZL today if my math is right.

It's possible but they normally send the young guys on 5 days rest and Prieto last pitched on 7/1 (5 days rest) while Leal last pitched on 7/2 (4 days rest).

Ah. Good stuff.

I feel like Pierce Johnson's awesome bounce back start yesterday went largely unnoticed.

 

5 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 3-5 GO/FO. ERA down to 3.38

[ScrubMD]

So Almora's issue yesterday was hemorrhoids.

[ctcf]

hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha

 

Best ending to an injury scare ever.

Can't wait for some media joker to lead with something along the lines of "Almora tests positive for 'roids."

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Hemorrhoids aren't anything to [expletive] with. Get that kid some fiber supplements.

[abohnhoff]

Well thats a sigh of relief. Glad that injury scare is behind him.

[Guest]

Almora is in the Kane County lineup and will DH today.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

When I had hemorrhoids I could barely walk. Gamer.

 

And after Baez finally gets out of Daytona's [expletive] weather, Tenn gets rained out.

[Warpticon]

I see you working.

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Almora 2/2 with 2 singles and an SB. Guess his butthole feels ok.

[Have a seat, Neifi]

PS Kane County sucks as a baseball team.

3rd AB walk.

[Guest]

they couldn't have come up with a harmless white lie to avoid telling the world he has hemorrhoids?

[wekim81]

this was my thoughts as well. If i'm almora i'm telling them to say I had an upset stomach or something.

[Guest]

tennessee postponed, lmao

Their pitching staff is brutal.

So I tell my girlfriend this and mention that he's 19 yrs old. She's a nurse and immediately responds, sort of sheepishly, "So is he, um, you know?". I told her I have no idea if a Cubs outfield prospect is gay, but I was thoroughly amused that that was the immediate medical thought that came to her mind.
