does almora have two walks today lmao

yeah, when Len said that I immediately said "[expletive]" and had to go look it up

Brewers board is going nuts over the pitching decisions (day off Monday, day off tomorrow, Hader has pitched 5 innings this month). They aren't wrong, but this inning has been basically 100% on your terrible defense.

not only are these the first two walks of albert almora's career, they represented the first (and second) three-ball counts he's ever seen.

[Sammy Sofa]

Schwarber's got pretty bonkers splits this year hitting with guys on base vs. nobody on.

[Brian]

that was also a classic Cubs move of a pitcher has a rally killing at bat, can't get out of the next half inning as pitcher

Galaxy Brain Stearns:

"Guerra never gives up batted balls hit at infielders. With all those sluggers in that lineup, it'll be nothing but walks, strikeouts, fly outs, and homers. I'll be fine having Craig run Shaw out at second."

I've seen this before, but I didn't notice him obsessively fiddling with that pawn, and then I go to check...yep, there is his redbull. Second favorite chess player after Morozevich.

[NotSoSober]

Contreras has a case of the Almoras

You don’t remember when everyone made fun of me for abandoning plans to watch the US Chess Championships in St. Louis because of the Ferguson protests?

Len & JD speculating he did something falling down trying to catch a ball

 

That’s always a good guess even if you weren’t watching the game.
