Kris Bryant just does not care about AA pitching at all.

Javy cares too much. 2 more K's so far.

[gscool89]

At what point do we start to get concerned that none of our top prospects are doing anything outside of Bryant?

I think it's worth noticing already. But it doesn't really change any projections just yet.

Rough day for black. 5 BB in 5 IP.

Speaking of poor control, good to see Pierce Johnson get back on track yesterday.

FWIW, only Baez and Almora have been bad. Alcantara and Johnson have been streaky and Edwards and Soler have been injury related. Soler WAS OPSing 3.000 before he went down. :blush:

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Almora was lighting the FSL on fire before his nose started bleeding.

[A New Era]

Almora was lighting the FSL on fire before his nose started bleeding.

 

It's like Chronicle, his nose bleeds when he uses his superpower. This is bad.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

His superpower is not letting A-ball pitchers walk him.

[A New Era]

His superpower is not letting A-ball pitchers walk him.

 

Much like the main character in Chronicle, he just needs to calm the [expletive] down, and learn to harness his power properly.

STREAK BROKEN!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Did he know what to do after the fourth ball, or did someone have to tell him that means you go to first?

If only your doombonering could fix Baez...

The problem is I really believe Baez will be fine. I can't fake it, it won't work.

Keep doombonering over Olt and Lake then. (It's kinda sorta working on Lake.)
