well we wanted Tyson Ross, looks like we got him

This is the thread where we talk about how awesome Kris Bryant is
sneakypower replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
for the last calendar year he's 4th in fWAR, ahead of Bryce Harper and Manny Machado for his career he's playing at better than a 7.5-win pace he's on pace for 47 HR and 43 2B he's cut his K rate by a full 8% this year he's a plus fielder at 3-4 positions he's under team control through 2021 -
the saxx are chafing him
-
yeah it seems universally broken on firefox
-
hasta la vista, espana
-
you've got me considering a name change now
-
spitting should help with your grip
-
and he fooled Brandon Belt pretty good [tweet] [/tweet]
-
Baez & Szczur are comparable but i think the idea was he'd maybe make the playoff roster over somebody like Coghlan or La Stella, who are mostly worthless as runners and borderline defensive liabilities
-
speed could also be scoring from 1st on a 2B / scoring from 2nd on a 1B, no?
-
i think Kris Bryant even topped Hamilton (or possibly Dee Gordon i'm thinking of) for max running speed; it seems counter-intuitive because of disparity in short-burst acceleration between the two that greatly impacts SB totals for instance, but with a longer stride it makes some sense edit: found the comparison- it was 2 at-the-time-recent triples Petriello compared to Bryant's to contextualize speed http://m.mlb.com/news/article/124212824/chicago-cubs-rookie-kris-bryant-statcast-top-speed-triple and i see here acceleration shows time to reach top speed, so yeah that's quite a contrast

http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/73955164/v844024983/stlchc-almora-jr-covers-95-feet-slides-for-catch/?partnerId=as_mlb_20160622_63035266&adbid=745622974389051392&adbpl=tw&adbpr=2565963218 21.6 MPH top speed...that's definitively not a 50 runner
-
for me it's hard to choose between the broadcast going to great lengths to not point out who (Birnbaum) made the horrendous giveaway on the 3rd goal, or the color guy showering Klinsmann with adulation for only wasting a full half on Wondo before inserting Pulisic into an already decided result
-
fractured arm for Lavezzi
-
that did not look good

Concepcion & Patton Called Up; Warren to AAA, Richard to DL

possible kidnapping? -
nice ending to this one, with Croatia scoring 87' to pull ahead of Spain then amusingly trying to waste as much time as possible with various substitutions and staged confusion
-
my hopes have just been 'not-Beef-Castillo-bad' so any data point that allays that fear is a welcome one
-
statcorner thought he had a good game oddly he lost several strikes but also added a bunch, for +2 strike calls total...but as i said before i think that ump was either screwy with his zone or plain bad
-
Willson Contreras, 24, fits into the same category as the team's catcher of the future, and even Albert Almora Jr., 22, might border on untouchable -- he figures to be the center fielder next season if Dexter Fowler departs as a free agent. well i'll be damned
-
Lackey did not #Respect90
-
i like how we're living in dying with every borderline call like it's revelatory when this ump is probably just mostly clueless about the strike zone
-
let's just make a SEC Crime Excuses megathread
-
Jeimer has a .800 OPS with great peripherals, in the last full year despite being super young...if he's a true 3B, that's probably a top 75-100 prospect in his own right for a FO that values players like ours does, and shits on the Nick Williamses of the world
