fml

gg cubs

>throw 2 pitches
>leave game
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

What

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

No he didn't

LIES

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

It's his weird eyebrows.

More intense than Votto?

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

Don't know, haven't paid very much attention to Votto

At least he's been better in his debut and his first start unlike Kris 4k Bryant.

Bryant only struck out 3 times in his debut

>mediocre
the only thing mediocre is the fact you won't stand up to Tyrone when he takes your wife upstairs every night

If you're gonna hate a team for having bandwagoners, at least hate a team that deserves it like the Royals.

I'm so sorry, user

If he doesn't use Call me Al as his walkup music, the he's doing it wrong

no.Bears cannot laugh

yay phillies got a guy out

that was a cool play

>phillies letting the cubs pad their run differential

so nice

Choo Choo motherfuckers run train keeps chugging along

poor burrs have no reason to laugh

Pray to the ham Gods the Phils will score a run

>implying the Cubs bullpen won't give up 6 runs in the bottom of the 8th
