8/7 Cubs (Hamels) @ Reds (Wood) 6:10 CST NBCSCH

[Andy]

Javy is in one of those stretches where it seems amazing he ever makes an out.

[BigSlick]

Oh man Almora are you just straight guessing up there buddy

[TMan92]

Why is Almora batting in that spot?

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Terrible AB for Almora why is he playing again?

[Schwarber Fan]

Almora is unfathomably bad at situational hitting.

[Andy]

Javy is in one of those stretches where it seems amazing he ever makes an out.

And then there's Almora who apparently never has any plan whatsoever at the plate

[Edith Cox]

Almora needs to have Nick teach him how to hit

[soccer10k]

Oh man Almora are you just straight guessing up there buddy

 

Could really have used a ball in play there.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Every time Almora is overmatched -- which is almost always -- you can just throw him the same pitch and he will keep swinging at it.

 

Dude, you have to make contact there. You are a good kid but you are pretty not good at baseball things.

[Old Style]

It’d be really nice to get these two runs in.

[Cubswin11]

Get fucked Almora

[Old Style]

HAPPER!

[Edith Cox]

Love putting up a big inning right after the Reds blew their shot at a run.

[Andy]

My goodness what a swing by Happ. That's incredible stuff

[Schwarber Fan]

THAT’S MY SECOND BASEMAN

[Bryants Disco Ball]

What a big pick me up by Happ.

[minnesotacubsfan]

What is happening

[BigSlick]

Ian Happ is infinitely better at baseball than Albert Almora

[We Got The Whole 9]

This is nice

[Edith Cox]

If Happ keeps hitting and can play decent 2nd you guys don't have to worry about me bitching about not having Russell up other than when Javy needs a day off.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

It's a small Edith Cox sample size, but has Happ already done enough to shut Cox the horsefeathers up about Addison Russell?

[Old Style]

What is happening

Joe had the home jerseys hung up in the locker room before the game. He’s obviously a baseball wizard.

[BigSlick]

This is the best this team has looked on the road since about May

[CyHawk_Cub]

I love how Happ isn't horsefeathering around and just keeps proving the point several of us made that he shouldn't sit, especially for the like sof Kemp & Almora.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Oh, wow. Cox posted at the same time I was posting the question. Nice.
