I came here tonight, I didn't know what to expect when it came to what people were saying about Almora. I seen a lot of people hate him and I didn't know what to feel about that, so I guess they didn't like much nothin' either. During that at-bat, I've seen a lot of changing, the way you felt about Almora, and in the way he probably felt about you.

 

On that diamond, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than 20 million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if Albert can change, and you can change, everybody can change.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Really felt that was an important inning after taking the lead with the slam. Going through the heart of the order on a windy blowing out night and keeping them off the board was big. It also knocks off one more inning.

Is this a Lost reference? I’ve never watched it and now never will because the finale is apparently ass x1000 and who wants to watch a show that ends like that

Rocky IV.

 

How dare you not know this.

Eh. I’m sure i watched it but was probably back in my college years.

 

As much as I stay on top of a lot of the new “must see” TV shows I’m equally bad on not seeing some of the classic movies. Therefore I never give anyone heat for not watching GoT or Breaking Bad - I get it, there’s only so much time we have at disposal.

It's OK. I understand.

 

I never watched Lost, but I also understand what you are saying about not watching when you hear about a stupid ending. Therefore, if you've never seen Dexter, you might not want to start.

[Schwarber Fan]

Rizzo and Almora be damned, I think Chatwood is your Binnie’s Beverage Depot toast of the game ballplayer.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

EJB!

[badger]

Someone who knows more about baseball than I do (i.e most everyone): can (changing/losing) a hitting coach make THIS much of a difference in approach/results ?

[Schwarber Fan]

McCutchen is a certified Cub killer

[ConstableRabbit]

Is Pat dead?

[Schwarber Fan]

Is Pat dead?

 

There’s a surprising lack of answers to this on twitter. Seems odd he would take back to back home games offs unless he has a family thing.

[Schwarber Fan]

Happ goes 4 for 4, triple shy of the cycle tonight. Probably should be replacing Zagunis soon.

[Schwarber Fan]

God Realmuto is a pain in the butt

[CubInOK]

Phew

They can give up 4 because cubs will score at least 8 tonight.

Nice call.

[PackLandVA]

Dong-a-Licious!!!

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Cubs Win!!

 

Someone had to say it!

It was his first great night at the plate in a while. Has been striking out a ton lately. Numbers still are bad in a super hitter friendly league with super juiced baseballs

[The_Achiever]

F those hillbillies.

[17 Seconds]

almora has a .750 ops? what the hell

Yeah. Great sign but especially since Almora is finally hitting they fan be patient. Wait until he proves he belongs again.

Tommy La Stella sure thinks so:
