At least he got contact. Baby steps

Is his early pulling of the baseball a common Bryant thing?
And if so, I wonder how early we will see the first defensive shift going to the 3rd base side of the field.

No, its nerves. Hes just seeing the ball early but swinging at bad pitches.

if mike olt was playing the cubs woulda won

Ah I see. Just checking. Haven't seen THAT much of Bryant til he hit the majors and Spring Training, but it was pretty interesting to see he was early on all his fouls balls today and also pulled that last pitch to 3rd.

Fraud ass White Sox.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Kimbrel time

Fraud ass White Sox.

Apparently the reason they didn't challenge was because Ventura didn't do so before a pinch runner was announced. Once the pinch runner was announced, the play was dead and could no longer be challenged.

So it was less he didn't want to challenge and more he couldn't due to him taking his sweet ass time.

Can anyone tell me what the fuck Alcantara was doing at the plate there.

Theo gave him the "Do so bad they call up Russell" signs.

Being overmatched by Kimbrel. That said, dude in scoring position here.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Well fuck. At least we've made Chapman and Kimbrel throw some pitches.

Unlucky Cubs. Got some bad calls today, but it was an entertaining game to watch for the neutral fan if that's any kind of consolation lol

As a Padres fan I will say that the pitch from that beard guy was definitely a strike by any reasonable metric. That said, you can't just leave something fat over the plate next pitch.

 

[zroid]

love that I got a Score App update about Bryant's misadventures

I totally needed to know that he struck out

Yea true. If anything, throw another borderline pitch and the Ump might actually give it to ya because he might think he made the wrong call first time round.

What a waste of a great start by Samardzija. Although it's surprising he did that well with no offspeed stuff. All he did was hang his slider and the Tigers couldn't do anything with his fastball.

Oh and Robin Ventura is clueless, but it's hard to look good as a manager if your 1-3 hitters can't hit a lick and the defense is suspect.

This post summarizes Cubs fandom and how baseball fans react to the Cubs.

Welcome to baseball hell Bryant.

At least it's not Cleveland!

If I ever see a Mets pitcher go high and outside to Stanton again I'm gonna break their freaking arm.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Why does Stanton have to heat up now? Wait after the weekend.

 

[Edwardo]

Donaldson and Martin with their first homers for the Jays today!

Devon Travis is really impressing me too so far...looks like the Jays have their first competent second baseman since Aaron Hill circa 2006-2007.

 

[Dominican Power]

Hate The Rays and their shitty field.

 

[Edwardo]

I feel like I haven't seen Ubaldo since the 07 world series

Defensively sure, but he needs to get the bat working.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Murphy is terrible.

 

[DoktorEvil]

Murphy is terrible.

No shhhh.

My fantasy team has him. He needs to start playing well, I have no real 2B options.

Hah, same here. I'm starting whoever the Rockies 2B is over him even though I drafted him 20 rounds later.

Can we please trade him and get Wilmer at 2B and Reynolds at short?

 

[Sanjuro]

Bye Bye Ubaldo

Piece of shit.

 

[Edwardo]

See ya Ubaldo
