Yeah, so, Hendricks is pretty good, too, guys. I know pitchers inducing ground balls and not walking guys isn't as sexy as Javy, but :good: for Kyle to get major league hitters out with his weak-ass velocity.

[Sosa21MVP]

At least I got home from work in time to see the second Javy-gasm of the day! :stickman:

[davell]

Free Agents are looking at us differently now.

[Andy]

Twitter reactions from the media are glorious.

 

Anyone care to do a compilation of the best?

Javier Baez just made 30,000 people at Coors Field pregnant.

I imagine everyone will be looking at the Cubs like this soon:

Man would it be fun to play spoiler down the stretch.

[NOLA]

We have a ton of games left with the Cardinals...

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Javier Baez K-rate: 21.4%

 

And a .643 ISO :shock:

Also 10 left with the Brewers out of 49 games.

What do I won for calling the first multi hr game?

Hey I called multi-hit so we were both right.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

You get to have Javier Baez on your favorite team.

[Clem Fandango]

Much like the actual Cubs, Javier Baez is making my fantasy team a lot more fun to keep up with considering I've lost like 7 of my last 8 games.

when does Da Bum get unbanned?

Man watching that second HR, off the bat it looks like a gapper and then it lands well beyond the wall for a HR. Amazing

"Oh man, another solid fly out ... wait, I think that's gonna get over their heads ... it's gone!"

That was my thought seeing it on replay. He just has ridiculous power.

[Heisenberg]

[expletive] missed the game because of the movies, but [expletive], JAVY.

 

What a BEAST.

 

Now just bring up Soler and lets play spoiler and troll the Cards & Brewers.

[Quakers]

The most exciting thing about Baez is... I do not think he is the best of the prospects that we have coming up. :yahoo:

Didn't even think about that. Could argue have 3 about as good or better.

[Elrhino]

Wonder how the superior Lindor is doing. Has his OPS passed .730 for the year yet?

[Elrhino]

He got sick of BABIP being a thing and just hit all his balls OOP.

 

Typical, too lazy to run out balls hit inside the park.

[d_money]

Free Agents are looking at us differently now.

Yes

Yep, he thought about all the effort it would take to be a baserunner and was just like, [expletive] that.
