The two I want to see, plus Bryant.

[Quakers]

What is the pool on Bryant tonight?

 

1 hr 2hr?????

 

 

Damn...he will have to hit them coming off the bench.

[treebird]

i really hope that miller guy doesn't go around telling people he's a shortstop

[kujay]

These guys don't look too fuckin good.

These guys don't look too [expletive] good.

They're still shitty.

They're still [expletive].

 

Thank you sir.

 

Beautiful night in Peoria, a mercifully quick game. Just a bummer didn't get to see any of the young guys. Even a nice fake rally at the end.

 

We were front row down the first base line, and all the players walked past us to the locker rooms. Maddon was really cool, talking with fans. Fernando Rodney gave a kid his hat, good on him.

I always know it's about that time when we get to those last couple games at Chase Field.

Jon Lester finished after 3.2 scoreless IPs In #Cubs intrasquad, then thanked the Triple-A players for "letting him squeeze in."

[treebird]

really excited to see theo in the stands tonight, shining a laser pointer in bryant's eyes during every flyball in an effort to put an end to stupid questions.

Actually seeing all these guys in uniform and coming up back to back in the lineup is so [expletive] cool and exciting.

[Fro]

This infield lineup is crazy-good defensively.

Digging the superimposed strike zone on ESPN.

This infield lineup is crazy-good defensively.

 

Is anyone still hanging on to the notion that Castro will move Russell off SS? Russell is way, way better with the glove. A wizard.

 

If Baez can hit at all (and I certainly believe he will) this is the middle IF of the future. Terrific defensively.

That double play was sweet

Digging the superimposed strike zone on ESPN.

 

Me too but part of me fears we've entered into a whole new era of umpire bashing.

[ctcf]

Poor Jokisch

[UMFan83]

Gah Javy guessing that entire AB and is rewarded by striking out on a pitch well outside the zone.

[treebird]

maybe bryant should start at aa until he remembers how to hit
