The city of Philadelphia everybody
you know its bad when the mics pick up the wind
lotza hits coming
>tfw Almora
GODMORA
>tagging on a ball hit that short
Thanks for being so shit at baserunning Phillies
Holy shit Almora
We sacrificed Soler and Schwarber to unleash the ultimate outfielder.
May we always remember them.
>heart attack at 37
stay away from cocaine, kids
>tfw i've been following Almora ever since he was called up
>>68221506

Kerry wood had a heart attack earlier this morning and died. Sources say it was cocaine related

RIP based kerry
Heyward will find a way to gidp even though he's on first base
Ded thread 2bh
finally a run
>based javy
Almora looks fuckin' intense at the plate
FUCK YOU OBERHOLTZER THIS INNING SHOULD HAVE BEEN OVERHOLTZER
>>68222544
It's his weird eyebrows.
>>68222544
More intense than Votto?
>>68222544
i hope he produces offense, he's fun to watch so far
That 1-0 score is going to be the final score, isn't it?
At least the Phils didn't get swept this time.
Almora and Heyward's defense in the corners is infinitely better than Schwarber and Soler's last year.
At the plate, however, not so much
>>68222602
Don't know, haven't paid very much attention to Votto
>>68222644
At least he's been better in his debut and his first start unlike Kris 4k Bryant.
>>68222737
Bryant only struck out 3 times in his debut

One day friend. One day.
>>68223839
Cutler needs to be taken out of his misery
>>68223839
Give your energy to the Cubs so they can win the worlds eries. White sox were selfish and took energy from the Black Hawks which is why they got knocked out in the first round and the Sox started out so well, but when that energy ran out, they got exposed and are now at .500.
>>68223880
Not really Cutler's fault the last few years. Defense looks like a bunch of grade schoolers
>Strope
Odd number, he shuts down the Filthies
Even number, he shits the bed and gets pulled.
