Where were you when Kris Bryant die
>tries to steal third
>slides head first
>breaks finger
>against the Braves
who do I get mad at?
apparently it isn't a double header? I wondered why it was starting so early so I looked ahead on the guide and there was another game at 8 but it's a repeat
Bryant is kill?
No
out 8-10 weeks acl tear
can someone post the bryant slide my internet is broken again
Bryant said he was done with head-first slides after hitting his head on Brewers shortstop Jean Segura and experiencing dizziness
It's in the /MLB/ thread
can I challenge a challenge
holy shit
Congratulations Cubs fans, Kris Bryant didn't break his fingers
Why the fuck would Bryant do a head first slide again?
>Mike Montdingery
>even montgomery is hitting dingers
In lineups where Willy is resting, why isn't Schwarbs at C and Almora, Happ or Zobrist in the outfield?
Goddy la Stella
>KB slides like a moron
>Insert La Stella
>La Stella hits a dinger
>KB will be back tomorrow
TYBT
schwarber's knee is still weakened and needs a brace plus he is absolutely terrible behind the plate
Probably because Schwarber died last year and they don't want him to start squatting down on his knee just yet.
Forgot that he meme'd his knee, thanks
I don't think Schwarber was too bad at catcher. Although now with Contreras and Caratini on the big league roster there is little to no reason for Schwarber to be catching.
>Schwarbomb still gets regular ABs
>Russell is good enough on D to warrant his shit production behind the plate, but barely
>More qualified players get relegated to back up roles because Joe and Theo won't stop the memes
>R.A. Dickey has allowed two dingers to a pitcher and a backup utility player
To bad nobody else is doing anything
Schwarbs is debatable, but benching Addi for who, La Stella? You're nuts, dude is an All-Star
Baez
Zo/Happ at 2nd
Not this season
nice
Montgomery pitches great and hits a dinger?
Where was this team in the first half?
>grimm
>Grimm allows a home run
shocking
hungover
GRIMM WHAT THE FUCK
What the hell is wrong with him
Enjoying dinner ball
>Sending Eddie Butler to Iowa
>Retaining the services of Justin Grimm
wat
why does Bryant get hurt in the stupidest ways?
>rolls his ankle while walking over 3rd after catching a pop-up
>has to be helped off the field
Idk people were shitting on butler but he wasn't even the worst pitcher on the team
Not even close.
He was a huge upgrade over the broken down wreck of Brett Anderson
He could be valuable in the Pen over guys like Grimm & long relief situations.
Between Montegomery/Butler you'd have a solid option for using a 6man rotation for awhile once Hendricks returns.
Instead we get to see more of Justin Grimm.
>Sending Butler to Iowa
>keeping Grimm and Lackey
Normally I trust Theo no matter what he does but this is confusing
SO this is the power of small ball plus dingers
>Baez on fire
Srsly tho
why does anyone throw Baez strikes?
Koji pleas
looks like we get bad Koji today
Was that Heywards first defensive "mistake?"
not sideways hat guy
if you can call it a mistake
koji was serving it up
That's why it was in quotes. That was a tough play, but he had the ball and just didn't hold on
...
>strop and koji hug it out
CUTE!
threadly reminder
Why?
