I love Albert Almora in CF.
Is it good to shut out one of your main division rivals 5 times in one month?
I just heard that the 2 runs given up in the 4 game series is the best for a 4 game series since 1919. :thumb:

Hey champaignchris, I always appreciate your insights. Any idea what's going on with Addison Russell's bat? The pop seems to have disappeared.

He’s got the highest walk rate and lowest k rate of his career so far. His approach has been great. He’s having bad luck - .275 BABIP - compared to .295 for his career. I think it’ll sort itself out. It may have already started happening in the last two games.
In other news, Rizzo is batting leadoff tonight! He seemed to love it there last year.
The debate over whether or not Kyle Schwarber can play left field is over. He can't. He needs to hit a ton if he is going to play in the field.
And he is. .270 BA, .369 OBP, .562 SLG, .931 OPS.
That's not enough for what he is giving up on defense.
