ok, 2 questions. what do you guys think of:

1. Joe Maddon
2. your announcers
I like len and jd though they can be a bit campy at times. As for Maddon, I think the fan consensus would be slightly negative mostly due to the past 2 years but personally I would say is he's probably a top 5 manager in the game but he's not the style I personally like. I think he's great with morale but i'm suspect of his tactical decisions at times.

I have no faith when Almora is at the plate.

Is it crazy to think about trading Zobrist prior to the deadline for some relief help? It's not that I think Zobrist is bad. It's more a case that he's only here until the end of the year, he's good enough to maybe get you something useful and bote looks really really good. I mean it's probably worth seeing how/if Russell returns before you talk but if he's even half useful it seems like a conversation worth having if you can find someone to pair up with trade wise who might yield you something in the bullpen worth having.

Lol Baez finally lays off a high one and the ump rings him up on a bad call

Hard to say honestly right now. By July this situation is resolved internally

Well, if it did it circled the globe.....ball was heading north, Soldier Field is south. But I get your point, it was crushed. Evanston might be it's destination.

This one landed in Lambeau then, a decent day for Contreras

Not sure how i feel about the strategy of having Almora steal in front of Bryant but whatever it "worked."

Hamels with that change up might be the only starter on this staff that can pitch like that with the wind blowing out a gale.
