Tennessee's early start time should give their players plenty of time to enjoy the rest of 4/20...

It'd be pretty cool if Concepcion has finally figured it out and could turn into a solid reliever.

Man Candelario is such a bummer this year...

[Little Slide Rooter]

Does 13 games even count as "this year?"

And now a HR for Almora, he's hitting .351/.400/.486, still with the 5/5 BB/K

oh hey there

[TruffleShuffle]

fowler is pretty great, but it would be rad if almora had a breakout season with the bat and we could slot him into CF next season.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Oh... I like that.

If he keeps this up I wouldn't mind calling him up in Juneish at Szczur's expense and going with super OF defense with Fowler LF/Almora CF/Heyward RF on days when we don't want to unleash Jorge's dong. Edited April 21, 2016 by Cubswin11

Justin Steele with a nice start, after two rough ones to start the year.

 

5IP 4H 2ER 1BB 6K

 

All four hits that he surrendered were singles, and he retired the side in both of his last two innings, with 2 K's in each inning.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Wow! Two consecutive walk-less outings for Carl Edwards Jr.
