Sweet, we get the daily Bryant HR before lunch today!

[ScrubMD]

Darvill got demoted, which hopefully means Bruno is good to go.

[muntjack]

More arbitrary endpoints! Bryant's last 15 games:

 

BB% K% wOBA

 

23.8% 20.6% .683

[ScrubMD]

Bruno not playing, so I guess Darvill's demotion didn't mean what I hoped it meant.

[muntjack]

For the past month, Bryant has put up a .592 wOBA. Just to get an idea, in his GOAT 2002 season, Barry Bonds had 1 month with a higher wOBA (.609).

 

 

edit: Sorry, can't help myself.

[muntjack]

Well, 0-3 with 1 BB and 1 K.

If Bryant did not reach base in his next 50 plate appearances, he would still have a .939 OPS.

:shock:

If Bryant did not reach base in his next 50 plate appearances, he would still have a .939 OPS.

 

And his likelihood of success would probably plummet.

@jeffarcherwvlt: It's a bird. It's a plane. Nope. It's @JAndreoli16 with an exceptional home run rob. See it at 6. @smokiesbaseball http://t.co/59dGSSON6v

Bryant is no longer a prospect.

I have to side with you on this one. I would definitely prefer that Bryant not go 50 plate appearances without reaching base.

Was that in ST facility or something? Just curious where that happened, he's not in Iowa yet is he? It is kinda interesting having Manny sometimes hit in the line-up with Baez in it. I wonder if they will do something insane like add Manny to the team when Baez first comes up. I'm not even saying I want that, but it would be kinda fun just for the crazy media circus of it all.

I think it happened in Tempe.

It was an extended spring training game in Tempe (which I believe is home to the Angels).

Hahaha.

Eloy also hit a HR in the same game: http://www.thecubreporter.com/06042014/manram-eloy-drop-bombs-papago-park

 

Eloy Jimenez clobbered a three-run home run, Manny Ramirez celebrated his Cub debut with a tape-measure solo HR, and Gleyber Torres belted an RBI double to account for the five Cub runs.

 

Ryan Sweeney has started in-game rehab down there and Rosscup pitched well again.

[davell]

Are we sure Jimenez is still getting sent down?

I know this is just me, but I wouldn't have thought that was Manny in that picture for some reason.

[Guest]

Maybe not. He's hit very well the last 10 or so games. Or maybe he's only up to hang with Manny and will head to the Dominican when Manny goes to Iowa.
