I know you don't gush over Almora's defense the way others do, but that's just plain cold. He's not being sarcastic. He's Kyling Gato now. I'm all-in. They've built a 120-win team according to peripherals. Everything they touch is magic.
Now that Almora is up, I want to see at least one day when Kris Bryant has a day off where we go: Fowler/Almora/Heyward Baez/Russell/Zobrist/Rizzo and basically run the best defense ever.
Dang. It went from 1-0 to 6-0 while I drove home from the teriyaki place. Sometimes you gotta take your time when screwing the closer, Cubs. It's not a race.
Saw a Dodgers fan online talking about how it was nice to play the Cubs close for the first three games. I don't know what is better: teams with that level of ambition settling for moral victories or taking even that away from them.
