6/29 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Reds (Reed) 11:35, WGN

[Liam Neeson]

It seems like Javy does well on afternoon mid-week get away road games.

 

2 hr game vs rockies in 14, hr vs mets in 14, 4 hit game vs philly this year, and today.

 

It's a thing. Haha

Most of the prospect gurus said you'd have to be patient with Javy. It'll take him longer to be great and that there will be maddening things about his game always.

 

He's actually better defensively than anyone figured he'd be too.

 

Come year 4 of Zobrists deal, Javy will be an everyday 2B that's a 4-5 WAR type and not necessarily finished in improving either.

[Andy]

I'm not sure why Hendricks took the AB other than to try and give as many days the whole day as possible, but a hell of a squeeze.

[Tryptamine]

Wow, Almora BB. This is a truly great game today.

An Almora homer and a walk in the same game? Can we please just stay in Cincy forever?

The Chicago Cubs of Cincinnati

[The_Achiever]

So next year is:

 

Zobs 2b

Heyward RF

KB 3B

Rizz 1B

Willson C

Schwarbs LF

Addy SS

Almora CF

 

Baez supersub

 

That made it move a little.

 

It would move more if it still included fowler. He goes, we go.

[Andy]

Hendricks had 110 pitches after 6 and is still going.

[Tim]

An easy inning would be nice here.

[Tim]

Nevermind. Joe won't let him face Votto for another 37 pitch at bat.

The Cubs after this year are going to be responsible for a LOT of bladder issues.

heyward is still there

[sneakypower]

Are there any more Javy deniers or are we all of the opinion that he's an annual 3+ win guy? You don't have to think much of the bat to figure that's what he is.

it's encouraging for sure but he's been sheltered; his splits vs. RHP are fairly horrid

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I like Almora.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

nice snatch!

[philosophizer75]

Almora my goodness.

[Tim]

I like Almora.

I love him on defense. I questioned whether he was as good as his reputation. I think he's actually better than his rep.

[Tim]

For those on gameday...Almora laid out going into the RC gap to make that catch.

[Sammy Sofa]

Booooooooooo.

[17 Seconds]

bitchass jumbo

[Tim]

First pitch fastball right in the ass.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'd be all for charging the mound there, but you know Jumbo would eat at least 3 people in the fracas
