Albert Almora Own Zone

[snoodmonger]

Because I'm a giant baby when it comes to the Cubs and start panicking the moment we're down one run like it means the season is over, I sometimes have super meatheady hot takes. Here's one I'm super ashamed of, so I thought I'd share it here.

 

I put the blame for this recent Cubs tailspin entirely on Almora's shoulders for getting thrown at third by Molina. If we had come back in that game, we'd have crushed StL's meager hearts, swept their dizzied corpses out of Wrigley, and proceeded to play superb baseball v Miami (not sure why, but since when do hot takes need logic.) So now i just want to see Almora's stupid non-walk taking mohawk sent back down to AAA because he is a blight upon this team, a personified curse, a hideous obscenity slowly undermining the beauty Theo and co have wrought.

 

Feel free to ridicule me for this. I deserve it.

I mean, Almora is probably the guy to go down whenever someone is ready next (unless we get rid of Coghlan for some reason), so it's not totally nuts.

 

That said, I didn't and don't blame him one bit for that play, it was spectacularly awful luck and he still nearly made it to 3rd.

he was right to try advancing there and just ran into bad luck with the ump blocking the ball, Coghlan is the real scourge for not following him to take 2B which would've put the game into extras with the 2-out hit

no, Coghlan made the right read. and even if he had gone, it's very unlikely that the hit would have gotten through with the 1B playing normal depth.

Almora is making you guys fight.

[snoodmonger]

you guys are missing the point. if we don't win the WS, it is almora's fault.

Is this approval thing new? I didn't go through anything like it when I joined a year ago.

I set things up so that I don't have to approve the new members, but their first three posts have to be approved by a mod. I would, uh, sometimes get a bit behind in approving new members. :)

FWIW, what Almora has been so far would = about a 4 win player.
