9/16 - Brewers (Anderson) @ Cubs (Lackey) 1:20 CSN

[David]

Will Broxton actually be a star or just a guy who plays like one against the Cubs?

 

He's been playing extremely well since he was called back up. apparently made some adjustments down there.

 

.289/.392/.535 in 167 PA with a 14.4% BB rate but 32.9% K rate....395 wOBA 145 wRC+

 

.418 babip tho.

 

plays very good defense too

Willy ties it right here.

 

Edit: Oh well

[Schwarber Fan]

ahhhh the notorious Cubs Killer comes in - shocked he wouldn't start every single game this series

 

Well Broxton homered last night and has now made 2 ridiculous catches in just over a week against the Cubs so I think he qualifies too.

My favorite part of those pictures is that Jed can't help but wear a collared shirt even when slumming it up in the bleachers for fun.

[Banedon]

I like that the mustache was not disguise enough. It required the soul patch.

[BigSlick]

Nice. Nice.

 

I so want Albert Almora to be a useful offensive player because if he isn't totally worthless with a bat : he's an extremely valuable player

[David]

ALMORABOMB

[Cubswin11]

Give Almora, La Stella's playoff roster spot

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Very nice. And a sexy bat flip.

[Schwarber Fan]

Yeahhhhh Almora

[UMFan83]

Give Almora, La Stella's playoff roster spot

 

yeah the problem is that either La Stella or Coghlan will almost certainly get a roster spot because they are lefties.

I wish you had left out the comma, Almora La Stella is a horsefeathers awesome name.

Dammit Soler left because of tightness somewhere. Hope its not those hammys

[Banedon]

So the Cubs say Soler left with right thigh tightness. Random twitter person says he was in the bathroom. #TeamRandomTwitterGuy

[David]

Right side, which to me would imply around the obliques or thereabouts

[David]

my god coomer is a bumbling moron

 

indescribably bad

[BigSlick]

give me the lead

[BigSlick]

Can Soler actually play an extended period of time without having some soft tissue injury or is he literally a precious antique china doll

[Banedon]

Yeah, it must've been a press box announcement that was misheard. Jesse Rogers and Muskat both originally said right thigh. Muskat at least corrected it to right side.

[Schwarber Fan]

That playoff spot should be between Coghlan and Almora. Seal Boy has done nothing whatsoever to earn it.
