One of these things is not like the others. Alfonso Soriano was a very good player; he had one of the worst approaches at the plate I’ve ever seen by a player as good as he was.
-
Albert Almora might have the worst approach of any player I’ve ever seen And I used to watch Alfonso Soriano and Neifi Perez
-
I recognize that every time we acknowledge Heyward is getting good he gets bad again (he’s Schroedinger’s Batsmen) but I went to FanGraphs to see what the big difference was. Interestingly a lot of things have stayed stable. His Soft/med/Hard hit percentages are very close to previous years, though his soft % is down 5% and his medium is up 5%, but that’s really not much change. The only thing I can see that’s dramatically different is this: He’s hitting the ball up the middle FAR more, and pulling FAR less. It appears to be having a ton more success for him.

I’m not used to watching an opponent melt down like this. Typically if a meltdown like this occurs the Cubs pitching staff is the one doing it.
-
I am barely paying attention to this game aside from checking gameday from time to time but this has got to be the most astounding futility at scoring a single run in extras in the history of baseball (where there are runners on base)
-
This game is a sick joke That’s 3 situations with someone on third and less than two outs right?
-
STOP PUTTING MEN ON BASE IF THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO
-
albert almora should be DFA'd
-
some of the junk that Almora swings at, i really dont get
-
the juggernaut nick ahmed is on. if you haven't turned the game off already, i suggest you do so
-
its almost impossible to not score a run there by accident total shame. they're gonna get walked off on now
-
how is that even possible this is what i tune in for? come on now
-
r u telling me they had bases loaded no out and they're about to not score any runs
-
He really, really was. I didn't think hitting coaches mattered that much, but he's sure making me think they somehow do. Or they don't, but he's just the one really bad exception. Same. I was always in the camp of “hitting coaches don’t matter”, but, it’s hard to say that is the case after the day and night job by our roster with almost no changes in personnel
-
Baseball is back baby, it’s good again, awoooo (wolf howl)
-
Not a great at bat my dude
-
almora hitting a dong there actually makes me hate him more *provided we still lose
-
8th in wRC with runners in scoring position 3rd in high leverage situations GIVE ME THE NUMBERS FOR SQUANDERED LEADOFF DOUBLES, YOU DICKLESS APES. I am petty, and I demand my rage be verified. I've seen 4 of them wasted in the tiny sample size of games I've watched, so yes, I assure you with the power of my large galaxy brain, that you're correct
-
except he was drafted by Epstein. Yes, exactly, that was the point of my post
-
Albert Almora is bad in a way that a Jim Hendry guy would be bad. He swings at everything, grounds out, and sucks.
-
Am I allowed yet to be angry they've gotten 2 men on in the last two innings and scored no runs? I just want to be mad about something

Guys I think Jason Heyward May actually be good This has got to be the longest stretch of being even decent right? -

At least Joe recognizes Almora cannot lead off. It’s too bad he isn’t where he belongs (in triple A) -
Albert Almora is really really bad He was bad last year and they kept fuckin hitting him lead off
-
Can’t we offer Tyler Chatwood to R’hllor, the Red God, for favorable winds and the favor of the One True God?
