Almora single, Caratini double,  Zo single has the Cubs up 2-0.

KB up with runners at the corners, no outs.

Caratini slammed the back of his head on the ground earlier in the game. He was down for a bit. I'm surprised he stayed in.

Depth at Catcher is probably not a bad idea.

DeShields grand slam, 5-4 Rangers.

This team just refuses to attack hitters. They're going to nibble around the edges to everyone, and they're going to end up walking way too many batters. No excuse for walking Jeff Mathis before the grand slam.

We'll always have 2016.

There have been 2,419 hitters to have at least 2,000 career plate appearances since 1900. Jeff Mathis has a wRC+ of 50, which ranks 2,412th. He's arguably the worst hitting position player ever. You don't have to be scared of attacking the zone when he's up.

I just don't get continuing to try to hit the edge of the zone that the umpire clearly wasn't giving him. Just trust your stuff and throw the ball in the middle of the strike zone.

Heybrist making it happen!   Hamels owes them each a steak....Demilno de(f'ing ) Shields...WT*?
