<div>Almora has been hitting well as of late.  Looks like he went through the struggles this FO likes and may have overcome them.

Speaking of Kyler...what ever happened to him?

Kris Bryant actually got a hit that stayed in the ballpark.

Have I told anyone lately that I love you...Kyle Schwarber.

Javy 3-4 so far in the second game.

I'm liking Alcantara more and more with each day. He seems to be having his best year since signing as a free agent in '08. In the double header he had three more hits (2 doubles and a HR). He's now hitting .441 over the past 10 games, and is .293 on the year.

 

However, like most Cubs prospects, he does K more than I'm comfortable with...especially for being a top-of-the-order type of player.

I just want to drink beer and play atari

For the first time in his pro career, Schwarber failed to get a hit in a game.

 

He did get 2 walks though...

He's not a top of the order hitter.  He does not, nor will he ever walk enough to have the high OBP needed.  He should be a fantastic CF that slots into the 7-8 slot very nicely

He could develop into a Kenny Lofton type, which I would gladly take as a #2 type or #7/8 as a worst case scenario. His walk rate was solid in 2013 and has been around 10% since May. Hopefully he keeps it up.

He just jacked a three-run homer (his 10th) as part of a 4-6 night with 3 runs and 4 RBIs. As of right now, he's hitting .301.
