Wow... Albert comes through!
#calledit
Hopefully that TL weirdo can go sleep off his bender and be a better person in the AM.
I probably have less faith in Almora than any non pitcher on this team to get a hit right now. Prove me wrong Almora!
Blow me, troll. ��
My thoughts exactly

I wonder if the fan who inferred with Rizzo is still there.[/somebody should have knocked him into the next life, or at the very least, ripped his dick off.
I have always been sn Almora fan and was calling for more playing time for him for three years. But he has seen as big a drop off from first half to second half as I can recall.
I blame Joe for not allowing anyone to get in a rhythm, but I lost all faith in AA. Glad to see him come through.
I have similar feelings about Contreras. Loved him, but he has disappeared.
Our pen in all makes me nervous.I would have thought Maddon would have learned his lesson that Edwards is toast and can no longer be trusted. EVER AGAIN
Lester tomorrow. The cubs have to win the next 4. Am I the only one that thinks chilli Davis fucked their batting up?

I made a post earlier in this thread you might care to read. It's easy to blame the hitting instructor. That's why they are the first coaches jettisoned if seasons don't go as planned.Lester tomorrow. The cubs have to win the next 4. Am I the only one that thinks chilli Davis fucked their batting up?

Steal 3rd. Then steal home.

That philosophy and change would be more on Maddon and Epstein than it would be Davis or Mallee. Also, take into consideration from a hitter's perspective that a bunt isn't going to get down all the time, so instead of allowing a batter to see a pitch and time movements to a pitcher, they've wasted that opportunity. A bunt in that situation of nobody on does nothing a walk can't. It puts a guy at 1B. I'd tend to want to have the opportunity to do more damage in the AB. That said, RH batters should be raised to spray all over the yard. LH can pull the ball more, but they do have an advantage to drop a bunt occasionally. If I were an upper level FO, I would employ the occasional bunt up and down my team's farm system.I asked that very question earlier. Can this be lumped on to Davis? There are certain things I question but it's not only him but Mallee as well....like why they never take the inviting bunt into the shift. I'm certainly no expert but it seems to me that if you know something is coming, you make some sort of an adjustment for it. I would make these guys practice bunting till their hands bled. You bunt them out of that shift and force the other team to counter.
