5/2 Phillies (Hellickson) @ World Champion Chicago Cubs (Lester) 7:05 CSN

[Schwarber Fan]

Javy needed this day so badly.

[17 Seconds]

2 cycles would be pretty wild

[UMFan83]

Javy 7 for his last 15 with 4 XBH

Don't think the Phillies have the scouting report on Baez

 

the scouting report certainly doesn't say 'watch out for him spraying line drives to the opposite field on outside pitches from RHP', I tell ya what

Laughing so horsefeathering hard rn

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Javy's slugging % is higher than Rizzo's now... lol. What the hell?

[Cubswin11]

So good to see some positive results from Javy vs RHP

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Javy has raised his wOBA by 85 points in 25 hours.

good to see ya Carl

I think Javy might've had the ugliest path (only 73 PA's) to an .800 OPS one could possibly have.

[17 Seconds]

if javy puts the ball in play, he's going for 2

It's very possible. Then again, he's also taken Javy Paths to an .800 OPS in 2015 and 2016, as well.

Just get Carl and Wade to the playoffs; they'll lead us to the Promised Land.

These are big ifs, but if Lester, Arrieta and Hendricks are all good in October, and the bullpen is really this good, then that will go a long way to removing some of baseball's October randomness. That all seems so far away from possible right now.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Thinking we should just try that bullpen piggybacking concept

Chances Javy BB here?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

hahaha

[NotSoSober]

haha - i really wanted him to try it

[Sammys Boombox]

Should have gone. Would have been the first 2B to that portion of the field in MLB history if he made it.

[mikeyt34]

Albert for Bryant?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I like Wade.

[Cubswin11]

Let's get like 2 straight weeks of easy wins like that

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Javy really should have went for two there. Even if the throw beat him by 50 feet, I'm sure he could have Javy'd his way past the tag.
