What is the offensive equivalent of CJs struggles at the end of last year and beginning of this year and how has Almora not gotten to that point yet.

He will be trading places with Happ soon.

He will be joining Happ in Iowa when Russell comes back.

I've been a big Happ defender, but I'm going to need to see pretty significant improvement in his AAA numbers before I want him back in Chicago. Striking out in 1/3rd of his ABs and getting on base at a .292 clip isn't going to cut it anywhere.

Almora looks at that OBP and marvels at how anyone could possibly have one that high.

Almora’s slash line is .222/.271/.222 with a 28 wRC+, .216 wOBA and he’s doing it with a .278 BABIP.

Hey what do you know, Almora in against another righty, Schwarber sitting again. Cool.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Mike Trout's slash is 382/593/882 - 563/272 and he's doing it with a 308 BABIP. He's turning into Bonds (4:1 BBK). Its absolutely nuts. I think everybody knew there was much room to grow still but if he can keep something like this up, holy horsefeathering horsefeathers.

 

Sorry to derail the thread but I peeped his page a bit ago and Almora is so boring to talk about. The FO must still have enormous hopes for him.

Yeah, well, I peed on Almora's page.

Anybody in south florida having trouble finding this on tv? Theres three fox sports channels, one is showing some basketball fluff piece, another is showing hockey, and another is showing college baseball.

 

I have 3 channels dedicated to Florida sports and mlb.tv and im unable to watch this game right now. Im....not happy.

[Cubswin11]

The change up Q struck out Anderson on was horsefeathering nasty

[Bote McBoteface]

Im in luck! Mlb Network is showing regional coverage! I live like 90 minutes from marlins park, so that means.....ah, Red Sox/Yankees. Of course. This is ridiculous.

[The_Achiever]

I was 100% prepared to hate Descalso but he's been v good.

[UMFan83]

KB would look nice in the heart of Iowa’s order

[Cubswin11]

Good thing we cleared both pitcher spots that inning

[squally1313]

Not expecting much with such a lively game thread, but if anyone has a relatively safe way of watching this (work laptop on hotel wireless), I'd really appreciate it and pay you back with one whole heart on the next post of yours I see.

[Andy]

Chalk up another [expletive] replay review

[squally1313]

Yeah the only way that's conclusive is if they found a way to sync up both replays, which is what I've been wanting across sports for years but have yet to actually see in practice.

[squally1313]

That's an actual really good play by Almora.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

That was a legit awesome catch by Almora.

[Andy]

If Almora could just hit at all he would be such a great asset. That was sweet.

[Sammy Sofa]

Go, Q, go.
