Factoring 393 career plate appearances, that averages to 30 Home Runs a season(600 AB season).. you ignorant, uneducated, burrito.

Totally normal reaction to an innocuous joke

Those are just the facts. Read them. You know how to read, you ignorant fuck?

That is pretty impressive considering he took the last three weeks worth of games off.

Hey it's not my fault you're overly sensitive and easily triggered. You're like a 6 year old.

Not really ... a given 6-year old has potential to get smarter and be better in the future.

To be fair it just barely cleared the wall.
He probably won't hit another one.

You've got one now. The little dumpling that can't hit .220 and is always the worst fielder in any game he's in. Congratulations!

When little Timmy Anderson looks in the mirror, he dreams of one day becoming a poor mans Javier Baez. .236 wOBA. #TheKidsCanPlay.

JORR,

Albert Almora Jr., your thoughts?

Whenver I see Joe Orr Road Rod name on the post, this song always pops into my mind :

Joe Orr ,Road the Rod ashore, hallelujah.

I think he'll be okay. He's a good defensive centerfielder. Most Cub fans I know think he should play everyday, but I think the way they're bringing him along is best for him in the long run. Let him hit his best matchups in what's really his first big league season.

I know it's just gonna be another dumb ass post.

When you post I always think of that Rocky Horror tune Time Warp.

You should get an MRI.

I agree.

If he struggles with the bat and Heyward takes another nose dive it'll be tough to have them both in the starting lineup on a daily basis moving forward.

I'm convinced HawaiiYou and Sabu share their password.

-Later

He's going to drive me nuts his entire career with Cubs. There is tons of talent but his strike zone recognition will be his achillies heal. When he stays within himself he will be okay but that's not his strong point.

Almora is almost too good at making contact. Hits bad pitches he should let go that ends up as weak outs. I'm pleasantly surprised by him so far though it I agree that taking it slow is the right move.
