Rough game for Ian Happ.

I feel partly responsible for bringing notice to the fact he hadn't struck out in his first 8 PAs.

so it seems yesterday was tons of fun across the whole organization

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Contreras starting 3 for 7 with a BB and Almora starting 2 for 6 with a 2B and BB is a positive development. More of that please.

yess please

 

i'm secretly hoping for almora to rake like crazy for a couple months and then we get our super defensive OF (assuming almora can actually hit decently up here obviously). or at least throw him into the mix depending on where we're playing and who is pitching and stuff.
