Why does everyone personally know Pillar that's pretty cool.

アミーゴ What did he have to say about the catch?

KP is from the LA area. Chaminade boy. LP and I have spoke about him before in person.

He says he's practiced it before

I was like

Reyes with rib soreness

He ****** up my BTS!

 

[pacificnorsewst]

Yelich has the weakest arm I've ever seen in the Major's.  And that's after his long *** windup. 

 

[johnnyredstorm]

worse than ben revere?

chris archer has really good stuff. impressive outing tonight.

He ****** up my BTS!

Stanton ruined mine last night. would've been 6 games if he hit

Johnny Damon would like to have a word with you

 

[d3si]

Wow, Ichiro safe. The old man's still got it

 

[pacificnorsewst]

Whether it's Damon, Revere or Yelich...His arm is super weak. Extremely poor.

 

[jewbacca2]

Bryant to the show...

He clearly needed that extra seasoning in the minors

 

[d3si]

DUDAAAA, who needs Ike?

Bryant up on April 17th.

Missed 8 games. In which we currently sit in first place. Therefore, zero reason to cry that sitting him will cost the Cubs a shot at the playoffs.

 

[dmxfury]

Could've been up more games

Factoring in a minimum of 1 HR every other at bat for Bryant, the Cubs would be undeafted

 

[johnnyredstorm]

taking kris bryant in beat the streak for the next 57 days. he's gonna break the yankee clipper's record.

 

[d3si]

Mets won
Feels good man

 

[johnnyredstorm]

can we talk about tim keefe and his 20 WAR during the 1883 season?

http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/keefeti01.shtml

41-27 with a 2.41 ERA 0.96 WHIP 359 k's 2.74 FIP 619 innings pitched



i get a kick out of looking at some of these really old school stats. crazy how guys used to start 68 games back then

He used to practice that in college too

Mets

Year has that special feel to it...

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Goldy is a machine

 

[nick.]

the Kris Bryant hype is gonna be unreal

it'd be a failure of a debut unless he went 3-3 with a HR & 4 RBI's

 

[CP1708]

Baez and Soler both homered right away last year.

Bryant will face James Shields today, we'll see, but I know Theo isn't happy. He always wants the rooks to open on the road, away from the home fans/media/extra pressure so they can get a couple games under their belt.

That's why I had been sayin he would be up April 20th rather than the 17th, but Olt breaking his forearm forced their hand.

Note, his last at bat at Iowa was a 3 run homer. 9 in the Spring, and 3 in 4 games at Iowa.

If he isn't leading the league by May 1st, he's a bust.

Kris Bryant will succeed. His approach is pretty much everything up the middle which allows him to hit the ball with power to all fields. Helps him stay inside the baseball and let pitches get deep into the strike zone which makes him better at selecting pitches. He has great hands as a hitter. Won't strike out as much as Baez and Soler, being that Kris has a more quiet path through the hitting zone.
