Terrible form on both attempts. Dropped the head of the bat below the handle.
Nico for the win!!!!

i cant think of another player in the NL that would be scarier at the plate in that situation.

That's why he is so damn good. Didn't sit there and try to hit a two run jack, or swing at a pitch in the dirt, just waited on the fastball and lifted a lazy fly ball to right, which is all they needed. Just always does the right thing. Fantastic player.
Head scratcher is why is Busch still hitting second in this lineup. I’d have or DH, Kelly or Ballestareos in that slot.

His numbers since like last August are scary bad. Like worst in all the majors type bad. Hope he can get out of this rut but starting to question if it will happen.
Glad we didn’t cancel the season when we were in last there
Hope he can make adjustment, but with his defense, his floor is pretty high. Without the bad stretch, I wonder if he would have taken the long term deal.
Cubs leaving a lot of guys on base today.
Counsell can't continue the Busch batting vs. lefties experiment much longer. He's struggling overall at the plate, so why not simplify things for Busch at the plate by only hitting against righties.
Only problem, it requires Shaw or Kelly to play 1st. Counsell likes Kingery as a PR, but that seems like a waste of a roster spot.

Really think they should send Alcantara to LA and send PCA down for a week. I mean he’s got 8 dingers.
