6/8 - Pirates (Kuhl) at Cubs (Montgomery) 1:20 CDT NBCSC & MLBN

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Oh good. This is the part of the game thread where we bash the guy leading the team in just about every major offensive category.

 

Not really. We are bashing on the pitchers who throw him strikes.

Come on Monty

Does he strike out a lot or something? I hadn't heard. Nobody ever talks about it.

[Agony and Ivy]

Come on Monty

 

Monty has been fantastic. The BABIP gods are pissed off at everyone for some reason.

He does. Many times on balls that are closer to the batter on the on deck circle.

Tight zone for this ump

[Banedon]

*Kris Bryant lowers strikeout rate, hits less homers*

 

Cub fans: Why doesn't he hit more dongs!?!?!!

 

*Javy leads the team in dongs and strikeouts*

 

Cub fans: Why must he strike out so much???

[Agony and Ivy]

Who is home plate umpire? Because he's garbage. Not that a fact like that would differentiate him from 90% of all umpires or anything.

I'm 100% miserable during games until it turns into an RD game, but if you can't sitback and enjoy the hell out of this team life must really suck.

Cubs fans also talk about Javy's great defense, great arm and magical base running a lot. Why so sensitive about the fact that he doesn't just strike out but does it in spectacular fashion a lot?

 

No worries. Everybody loves him and his dong. His sub .300 OBP could be improved, though.

[Sammy Sofa]

I mean, the Cubs DO need to hit more dongs. Dongs are good.

[Sammy Sofa]

The myth of Ozzieball has been replaced by the reality of Bryantball.

[Sammy Sofa]

And Heyward is rocking the deliciousness of Chiliball.

[UMFan83]

who the horsefeathers is this imposter in the heyward jersey

[BigSlick]

Oh good. This is the part of the game thread where we bash the guy leading the team in just about every major offensive category.

i've always been frustrated with him, i always will be frustrated with him. he's also been really bad for more than a month

[Bertz]

Weird, Heyward was not standing a mile away from the plate on that hit.

[minnesotacubsfan]

What if that GS somehow fixes JeyHay

 

 

I want to believe. I need to believe.

[UMFan83]

I'll take it

[soccer10k]

Thought Zo was going to get doubled up on that.

[javy knows my name]

yessssss jd is the [expletive] man

 

??

 

They cut over to him in the booth for a minute and he was milking his extra deep voice and it was funny

[UMFan83]

Weird, Heyward was not standing a mile away from the plate on that hit.

 

he's trolling Duke

[Sammy Sofa]

Get outta here with that called strike 1.

[javy knows my name]

Every single curve this guys throws looks sooooo hittable
