So that makes a bad ball player? He’s actually a
Really class act guy and good for a clubhouse unlike Russell
He's gotta be the ugliest man in MLB. Hard watching that

Unusual bad read by Almora....first two steps in on a ball over his head. Wind must be a ***** today.

They've had plenty of bats and it has never stopped Joe from tinkering like this. Why trade for an older, worse RF than what we already have? That makes no sense. What they need, and have needed since Fowler left, is a true leadoff guy.

2016 LF was the pivot. Rest was pretty much locked in. Javy was moving around as needed while pushing either Bryant or Zo to cover Schwarber's injury.

2017 Schwarber got sent down that created a instability in LF. Fowler gone really just became a Jay/Almora platoon. Happ got rushed up.

2018. Almora and Happ debate in CF. Bryant's injury was the main issue.

So 2016 Schwarber injury. LF unstable.

2017 Schwarber sent to AAA Fowler replaced by a platoon LF and CF unstable.

2018 CF still unstable. Schwarber stablized LF. Bryant's injury made 3B unstable. Russell's suspension made 2B unstable.

2019: going in CF continues being unstable and 2B unstable due to payroll restraining.

I really want to see Garcia challenged in LF today. See if he more than a post.

Dislike their starter. 88 fastball. 77 slow curve.

Seriously, what does Q work on?

He looked like he not only doesn’t work on Bunting he looked like he’s never seen a successful bunt in his life

Tremendous. Russell just keeps making terrible decisions.

When you don’t get on base nearly enough, and compound that with terrible baserunning blunders when you do get on, that’s a combo that really hurts.

Doubled off twice in a week. Inexcusable.

I even remember when they introduced the Cubs after the WS win the next season. The PA announcer said future MVP before saying Russell name. lol
