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

[Guest]

Right handers now hitting .461 off Coke.

[Castros trade value]

I fully expect the Cardinals to win this way: Leadoff HBP, Sac bunt, groundout and runner advances to 3rd and a drop third, wild pitch on strike 3 to win it.

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.

 

Again it's strange but there is like nothing I'm worried about less than Kris Bryant's ability to hit for power.

I'm much more worried about his inability to make accurate throws.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Holy [expletive], I just saw the clip of that ball to Segura's head. Suddenly, the Rizzo/Russell collision doesn't look so scary.

Right, not worried at all. And I realize it's amateur to be like a kid asking a player to hit a home run for them, but I mean, he has to actually start hitting them.

[Schwarber Fan]

First pitch to Parra was at least 5 inches closer to the plate than both strikes called to Rizzo in the seventh.

[Guest]

it feels like Coke has been on the mound for a half hour and this is his 3rd batter

[Guest]

holy crap, that was lester-like

[Guest]

how will you remember the Phil Coke era

[Guest]

Let's just pretend that was a sac bunt.

[Guest]

how will you remember the Phil Coke era

as an era where it was unfortunate Wada got injured in spring training.

His nice outing on opening night and then...

Yeah I still want to see it happen soon.

He hasn't hit a ball hard in a while. With better weather he'll hit HRs, no matter which part of the field, but he's making weak contact when he actually does hit the ball right now

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

I kind of want to see Bryant not hit a HR all season and still have a +.900 OPS and then no one will be able to shut up about wtf is going on.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

His OPS is quite a bit below .900 by now.

[Guest]

Where will Russell's bogus strike 3 come in this at bat? He's been burned high and low, I'll go inside this time.

[Soul]

Lol [expletive] this

[Guest]

there is no justice in this world

[Guest]

earlier in the game, Ramirez would be playing off the line and that's a double.

...its a long season.

[XZero771679666304]

Few things are as frustrating as seeing one of our guys watch a meatball go by.

 

[expletive] babip.
