Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-25-14

[CubsWin]

Kris Bryant went hitless today for only the 12th time in 48 games this season, hitting safely in 75% of his games so far in AA. He has yet to have anything resembling a slump in 104 games since turning pro (including 20 AFL games). In those 104 total games, he's gone hitless just 22 times, hitting safely in nearly 80% of his games since joining the Cubs. In fact, he's only gone hitless in back-to-back games once in his minor league career and that was on the same day, a double header on April 17th. The thing is that he got on base 3 times in those two games (a HBP in game 1 and two walks in the night cap). Digging further, he's gotten on base in 95 of those 104 games.

 

Going into today's match-up, Bryant's hitting .343/.423/.591.

 

103 games, 379 AB, 85 R, 102 H, 35 2B, 3 3B, 27 HR, 91 RBI, 49 BB, 114 K, 10 SB, 0 CS.

Are the Smokies recruiting starting pitchers via Craigslist?

[Guest]

[Vinestal]

no they are not

So you did enquire...

[SouthSideRyan]

I thought that seemed fairly unlikely.

He had another really good start a couple weeks ago. At least he's starting to be inconsistent instead of consistently bad.

I like the authoritative fist bump with the 3B coach.
