VSL Cubs PPD - Rain

 

OVERALL: 0-4

Doesn't look good for the Iowa doubleheader.

[imb]

Bryant 1-for-1 with a 7-pitch single in the first

[TruffleShuffle]

bruno flied out in his at bat in the top of the first, then was replaced in the field to start the bottom of the inning. #-o

Sounded like the field wasn't very well cleaned up from the rain and he rolled his ankle or something.

[ScrubMD]

Bryant decides to only get a double in his 2nd AB. OPS nearing 1.100.

[TruffleShuffle]

bryant first pitch double to left... hitting .400 for may with a 1.229 ops.

[ScrubMD]

Bryant really wants to get to Iowa and recreate MD2 with Baez.

Remember when we were drooling over Almora's hit tool at KC last year? Through 221 PA he had a .330 BA(and the last game was a 3 for 5). Bryant is now at .342 in 218 PA at AA.

[imb]

Bryant is wasting time in AA.

Hit tool isn't batting average, though.

[MWV]

No [expletive]. HR number 15. Opposite field.

[RammyFanny]

Goodness

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Bryant and Baez are going to hit 60 HRs next year in the majors, aren't they?

[ScrubMD]

His mercy is decreasing with each AB.

 

OPS: 1.112

[TruffleShuffle]

it's not like the other team is even pitching badly. the smokies only have 4 hits, and 3 are by bryant. yesterday the smokies walked 6 times, and 4 of those were bryant. he's just terrorizing the league.

[imb]

good god

[TruffleShuffle]

he's also leading the league in batting average, obp and slg, and his ops is almost 200 points higher than the next-best qualified batter in the southern league. :lol:

2015 and forward is going to be some really exciting baseball. Hell I kind of want Alex Jackson just so Cubs can blow away every other team in the power department.

[UMFan83]

The other teams are going to refuse to play against Bryant at some point.

Double down on what works. Draft hitters forever.

[CubInOK]

I have no doubt Bryant could accumulate 3.0 WAR in MLB over the rest of this season.

[TruffleShuffle]

i know they like to take it slow with advancing prospects, but he has to be called up to iowa pretty soon. what's the point in letting him destroy the southern league for another month or two?
