5/3 Brewers (Nelson) @ Kubs (Hammel)-1:20 pm CT (WGN/MLBN)

[Irrelevant Dude]

Bryant is lost right now

 

He just doubled in his last AB

I can only assume you didn't see that double.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I know he's a rookie, the weather has been cold and he probably could have had a few it Pittsburgh that just fell short, but Kris Bryant needs to hit a home run.

weakass pop-up that the 2b dropped...context, my man

[Gilby]

Why is Bryant trying to inside out every pitch?

 

Doesn't he always kind of do that?

Are you watching? That was a popup that got dropped.

In the minors, he often went oppo, but he also pulled his share. Every swing I've seen in the majors he's been trying to go the other way - even on pitches in off the plate.

[Irrelevant Dude]

At least Starlin didn't GIDP.

[Castros trade value]

So Bryant has yet to hit his first homer in 2 plus weeks, The Brewers could win 2 of 3 against us at home and the Cardinals never lose even without Wainwright. Yea, sounds like Baseball as usual.

They're going to win anyway, but FWIW, Kang actually HR'd against them to tie the game just now, so we know he can in fact get a hit when the other team doesn't wear blue.

Haha, my bad I definitely didn't see the AB just read the outcome.

[Guest]

I'm sure Coghlan would have caught that, too.

[Irrelevant Dude]

The Cardinals will never not be good, will they?

[Schwarber Fan]

Baseball can go suck the big one. We're going to get torched by St. Louis.

[Guest]

it would have somehow gone into the gap

[Andy]

We flat-out can't catch a break.

 

I will forgive this if we kick the [expletive] out of those punks this week.

[Derwood]

of course

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'm thinking that we sucked out whatever juice Coghlan had left. I wonder what the A's want for Reddick.

[Soul]

Well that's quite the kick in the nuts

[CyHawk_Cub]

Coke can just get shelled so he's the easy demotion when Grimm is ready....but I guess Germen would be the one to go down

[Bryants Disco Ball]

but Kris Bryant needs to hit a home run.

 

why?

 

Because in a game that doesn't have as many anymore, he's supposed to be a big-time home run hitter. And to do that, you need to actually eventually hit a home run. Of course he will do it, but you want to see at least one. It's been more than 60 plate appearances and 55 at-bats.

The first part of this makes me doubt you pay much attention to baseball at all.

Wada -- Coke; Grimm -- Germen.

[DiamondMind]

I cannot watch Coke. He gives me an anxiety attack.

Not worried about the Cardinals. Bryant's lack of HRs is unusual but he's going through an adjustment period right now. When he was red hot after getting called up he hit 2-3 balls that would have been HRs in parks not named PNC.

 

Obviously you want the win a series against a scuffling team but that's baseball. Sometimes you win a series against a great team, sometimes you lose a series against a bad team. Not going to worry as long as we are at least hovering around .500 into July and our top guys are getting ABs and incrementally improving.
