I'll take it.

[Sammy Sofa]

Huh. Did not expect that to end productively after the first two strikes.

[Ski]

Lulz, the glee on Ross's face when he saw he hit a high chopper.

[BigSlick]

oy David Ross can't catch up to a 95 MPH fastball

 

you know who else can't?

CUBS are 16-10 (.615) when their pitcher gets a hit.... 60-47 (.561) when he doesn't

CUBS are 17-7 (.708) when they execute a sac bunt.... 59-50 (.541) when they don't

Ah well. They got a run at least. Russell does lose that bat a lot.

[Guest]

i don't think i've ever seen a player in his entire career lose his bat as many times as i've seen russell do this year

 

i think i could've said that after like 3 weeks too.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 4.56 P/PA through 4 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Ski]

Damn. Wish Ray would stick to losing his command entirely instead of alternating that with pinpoint control.

[TMan92]

He is going to kill somebody one of these days.

[Guest]

how can you possibly have double plus hands and lose the bat that often

[Sammy Sofa]

Damn. Wish Ray would stick to losing his command entirely instead of alternating that with pinpoint control.

 

Yes, technically that is way one could look at it.

 

Why they would, I have no idea.

[Gilby]

It's weird how Russell, Soler, and Schwarber (if you ignore AAA for him) have all seen their K rates spike like 10% in the majors from where it was in the minors, while Bryant's has stayed mostly the same. Is that just random, or is there an explanation there?

We can hope that he's facing the Cardinals at the time, can't we ???

There is no bigger jump from any level than from AAA to the Majors in terms of pitcher 'stuff' so I don't find it that surprising

 

I mean Bryant is just a superhero i guess

maybe it's got something to do with the fact that bryant has an amazing eye and strikes out mostly by swinging and missing at strikes.

 

what exactly i don't know. just a guess.

DBacks are seeing 4.29 P/PA through 5 innings.
