That's a huge win.

 

Thanks Kyle (not YOU, NSBB Kyle)

[Schwarber Fan]

Exhale.

It was a three dong night

[Ski]

Imagine, we wouldn't have won this amazing game if Montero hadn't gotten hurt.

[Deeg]

This is the Sandberg game.

Guy hits a game tying HR , then hits the game winner..If I had a GF right now, I would let him rail her all night and anytime he wants

[Gilby]

Of the two I'm more worried about Bryant. Rizzo has been here before and climbed out

 

He strikes out a lot even when he's going well and is currently in a slump. We don't need to worry. They're fine.

 

I'm not long term worried about either but it's frustrating watching them be so bad right now. Bryant is too good of a hitter to not be a star, contact issues be dammed

 

He's on pace for one of the best rookie seasons of all time. A slump has pushed his ops DOWN into the .820s. He's a star.

I'm marginally worried about Bryant. He's put together really bad at-bats lately but you have to remember that he's a rookie.

[Little Slide Rooter]

That inning, yes. The other 12, not so much.

[UMFan83]

What happens when Montero is healthy? I guess it's not a concern for awhile but I can't see them leaving Montero on the bench especially when Ross has to start 20% of all games.

[Splendid Splinter]

I think Schwarber is a cyborg sent back through time in order to destroy baseballs.

 

 

 

 

If someone can put do schwarber face instead of arnold, that would be amazing.

i still don't really agree with this

[Little Slide Rooter]

Are the people currently worrying about Bryant the ones who a few months ago were talking about him as they are Schwarber now? Just curious.

[Andy]

I don't even know what to do with this Schwarber thing. He's a monster. Completely unstoppable. Everything he hits is a rocket.

How gentlemanly of you.

It's all about adjustments for him. I just cannot see a way that Bryant isnt a star. He might not end up being a super duper star like we hope because of his contact issues but he's too good to fail.

 

I do worry about the number of hitters in extended slumps..almost like our coaches can't figure out any mechanical flaws or adjustments in approach necessary to break out.

You don't agree we should worry about him, or that he's too good of a hitter to not be a star?

 

If it's the latter, we (NSBB) need to accept that he's really, really good despite the strikeouts, and he's better than Soler. GET WITH THE TIMES, DAVID

He had a bad game and still hit a double and drew a walk.

That guy in the Reds hat in the Schwarber section was like 49.9% happy 50.1% mad.

it's the latter

 

i'm not saying he's doomed. i'm just saying he's not an absolute can't miss star which is what he said, i think. i think the possibility exists that he gets figured out and can't adjust and just becomes a strikeout machine.
