We Got The Whole 9

Tseng and Alzolay had very average starts but Hudson and Albertos were excellent, combining for 10 IP 3H 0 ER 9:1

Willy says he tried it on his own Even that guy who homered in G7 and later tried to bunt in the 9th inning is like wtf Willson

Duke, after all that dumb bunt horsefeathers, just write the article. It doesn't get worse than that.

Pedro and Dunce should have pitched the whole game clearly

Gave himself a great chance in that AB lol

Holy horsefeathers what the horsefeathers

You've gotta be joking

DJ dong

So, Willy has hit 9 HR in 23 games batting cleanup per Kamka

Damn, smoked

He's gonna horsefeathering do it here

Much love, Jon

He really does hate walking. He wanted another pitch.

Of course Wilson has to suck

Just all over the place. His body has not been in sync much lately.

He knew that 0-2 pitch was a ball but he didn't let the horsefeathering ump ruin it so he protected on a clearly shitty pitch and beat them immediately after. Love it.

Give it up for Willy. What a horsefeathering gangster.

Hopefully better after this ab

What a terrible AB

Looking at pitch values by team offense The Astros are absolutely insane. We all know that. But they hit fastballs twice as well as the Nats, who are in 2nd, they have no pitches on which they're producing negatively, and they also crush sliders and curves, sitting around the top of the league. That horsefeathering offense is unreal.

If we're getting a version close to how Willy was in Iowa, holy horsefeathers

I had to take a massive horsefeathers

I have to tread lightly. Because of my past comments, people think I want us to just jettison him. Not even close to the case. I recognize that he is our best hitter and I'll reiterate my desire to sign him to a lifetime contract with the Cubs. I only asked when the last time he had a hit that high on the LI was, and only after the responses that ensued, did I actually go to look up the stats myself. That was the first time I looked at a HLS stat since that FG article last year, believe it or not. Simply by memory I knew they had not come often. But he's still my favorite player and it doesn't sour me on him, nor do I slam him after every time he doesn't come through in those situations. I don't expect him to be amazing in those times, but at least hope that he'd be quite a bit better than he's been. I guess I'll leave it at that. The samples are always going to be too small to judge but they are all we have, and they've been a little lighter than I would expect. With KB this year though, I was excited early on because it seemed like he was regaining his oppo stroke, and that disappeared again. There's been a lot of swings where's he's too far out in front and hits weak dribblers or pop ups. He's not really turning on the inside fastball as much as he did last year and pitchers are growing a bit more comfortable to challenge him there. His eye at the plate has been really good, though, and he's a hot week from having the same wRC+ as he did last year. So, he's not far off at all. Another thing is he hit a quarter of his dongs off the Reds last year and had that one month where he hit like 400 or whatever. So maybe this year isn't much different at all. Should I mention again that I don't want to cut him?

Kelli stole his 41st bag (80% efficiency). 2nd place in the league has 23.

At least Jake was on again 2.9 ERA over his last 12 starts
