I know it's really unlikely but I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllly want those guys to all make it.

[Guest]

All done.

 

Don't forget all three of Almora, Bryant and Soler will play in the AFL all-star game tomorrow.

 

@sahadevsharma: Bryant is out of lineup today, but he told me he's playing all nine tomorrow. Game will be on MLB Network if you want to see future of Cubs

I do too. It's the perfect mix- Two giant makeup leader types, one cocky as hell [expletive] who's awesome, a dude that chases people with bats, and a jolly, fat guy that everyone loves.

Almora leadoff double.

Vogelbach?

 

Meh. Plus I don't think he's jolly at all.

 

But werd to the rest of that.

DH. The video of Vogelbach taking BP, getting underneath one, hitting himself in the helmet with his bat, shaking it off, and saying "[expletive] me in the ass" endeared him to me forever.

@sahadevsharma: Bryant said he saw more Ks in pro ball than in college, so he was more aggressive driving ball rather than take BBs. Thus, the low BB totals

 

@sahadevsharma: Bryant said he'll 'develop an eye & figure out how pitchers are trying to get me out & how their pitches move & it'll all come naturally.'

 

@sahadevsharma: Also talked to Bryant abt mechanics & his wide stance, a little much for twitter, but needless to say, nerded out w/ the kid. So impressive

 

Sahadev Sharma ‏@sahadevsharma 1m

Just talked to Bryant abt hitting & mental aspect of game. Not abt results, but process. That mindset will lead to great things, kid gets it

 

Almora sounds like the Lenny Dykstra stuff from Moneyball.

Almora leadoff double.

 

Almora 2/4, 2B, 3B, BB, K

Darvill, 0/3, BB

L. Castillo, 1 perfect IP

Lineups for the All Star game tomorrow night are out. Bryant and Soler are starting. Aaron Sanchez, who is a possible target in a Samardzija trade is the starting pitcher on their team. I'm irrationally excited to watch this.

Muskat posted it on Twitter last offseason, but took it down 5 minutes later.

I view it as pretty much our world series.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Who the hell is Brian Goodwin and why is he starting over Almora?

[Guest]

this is kind of like having a non-walking Giancarlo at third base.

 

this actually made me pretty happy

[expletive]. Why no fuckin Almora. (doesn't even deserve a question mark)

[Guest]

I think its pretty likely all three make it though I guess what you mean by make it is arguable. They are all going to reach the majors. If two are regulars and one is a star, that would be a fantastic outcome.

[MWV]

My understanding was that MLB was going to stream this game, but I can't seem to find a link that works. Anyone have any advice?

[Guest]

Right through the ol wickets for Bryant

[CubsWin]

Tough hop, but Bryant just let a hot shot right thru his legs. He leads off the next inning. Let's see if he can make up for it next inning...

[Guest]

Watching on a bit of a delay...Bryant just made a hell of a play at 3rd. Really impressive throw.

[Guest]

Well that was funny timing.

Dont know why people dont dismiss Buxton for the same reason they dismiss CJ
