YOU STILL HAVE ALMORA TO PLAY RF

[raw]

No reason for him to be hitting. IDGAF

[imb]

fun fact: among qualifying hitters, jason heyward accumulated the fifth-lowest offensive WAR. go cubs!

[Geech]

Don't swing, Heward. Take all the way.

Heyward you suck horsefeathering swing Edited October 21, 2016 by UMFan83

[gobigred]

Why is Heyward hitting here? Almora? Contreras? Soler?

 

 

or Jim Abbot

[KatJ]

just logging in, first comment of the post season. for the 2nd straight night, after things were getting tense (after the game got tied up, tonight same deal), decided to distract my stress by....well this is a PG13 board i assume......doing some boyfriend/girlfriend things....and the moment i return to the game, addy has hit a homer.

 

 

if scientifically we can prove a correlation a 3rd time than you can bet i'll be doing my part come crunch time.

 

Hey, whatever works. Before Anthony laid down that bunt, I found myself wondering if he needed the kind of slump buster Mark Grace used to talk about.

[mikeyt34]

Here comes the K. Prove me wrong JH.

[Thusly Boned]

The next step in Javy's development is to consistently stop trying to pull pitches off of the outer half, and take them the other way. when he gets to that point, he'll be a golden god.

[Brian]

do you have to use the DH on the pitcher?

[bcl412]

Almora isn't much of a downgrade from Jason right?

[bcl412]

do you have to use the DH on the pitcher?

 

You do not

[Isaac Vines]

Heyward taking all the way on meatballs and hangers.

[Brian]

do you have to use the DH on the pitcher?

 

You do not

 

something for Joe to think about if things go well this weekend

[mikeyt34]

JH grinding. Come on dude.

[davell]

Its like watching a blind, one armed dude taking AB's......Blind dude slightly more successful though.

[UMFan83]

mercy

[KatJ]

Seriously Joe. Hayward needs to ride the pine.

[Hawk4Hall]

Can't really defend playing Heyward anymore. Not sure anyone would be worse honestly he's just playing terrible baseball. Like most of the season terrible.

[UMFan83]

Please do not hit this guy 6th. You wouldn't hit the pitcher 6th so why would you bat the second pitcher there?

[LeonDurham]

Is his defense so much better than Almora that We give away a free out with two men on

[Andy]

Heyward is so far up his own ass at the plate right now he can't see what end is up.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

He must only be used as a defensive replacement the rest of the post-season. He can never start again.
