Happy Kris Bryant Day!!

[old and slow]

Cole sure pitched well last night.  McCutcheon looks to be coming around - if so he'll jump start the offense.

NL Central a tough division...

[The Skipper]

yes Gerit Cole......

This kid has like 20 something wins, is 4-0 this year and all of a sudden he's your hero ? GTFOOH

He's 8-1 in his last 10 starts ........  go take you Geritol  and watch the Cubs

Yeah typo, I was thinking he is 6-0 against the Cubs  anyway I still made my point 

[pezz97]

Shocker, Soler on the Dl and going to miss 6 weeks. Guy hasn't played a full season at any level yet...

[RocknRoll]

The kid is flat out a beast !!  he'll win Rookie Of Year in a landslide .

Happy about Joc Pederson? 17 hrs already!!

Right now he is way ahead IMO .

Listening to the radio they had the Joe Maddon show on and Ron Coomer asks Maddon about playing in October and I about spit my water out  I'm enjoying watching them this year with the moves they made with getting Maddon and seeing these young kids develop but I really don't see them contending any time soon, maybe just maybe in a couple years if the kids improve and they get some decent pitching.

Nice to hear an honest assesment. They are eventually going to be really good. This year there bullpen stinks, they have to many players that don't have a defensive position., but they are improving.

This biggest disapointment baseball wise is the team on the south side. There bullpen is good, their offense sucks, and their starting pitching besides Sale Still sucks....

Thank God for the Blackhawks. Until they start up again, they are going to be the only team in Chicago with a chance to win it all. Cubs, Sox Bears all have no chance for the playoffs, and No matter who is coaching the bulls, they won't beat Lebron

I about spit my water out  .

So that's what you call it 

[Gazoo]

How is he way ahead ?

Bryant still has more RBI's , a better batting avg and more stolen bases in 10 less games ...... Bryant has 8 homeruns right now compared to Pederson's 15 but Im willing to bet he has more by years end .

Yuup!  I say fire Don Cooper and Robin....  With all the pitching talent they are supposed to have, the pitching coach has to accept responsibility for their performance.   And, by the way, can Hawk maybe have some more surgery.  I much rather listen to Chuck Swirsky then hear stories about "my 5600 years in baseball".

Do the f**king Cardinals ever lose    

The Pirates go 12-2 in their last 14 games and only pick up 2 games .......  St Louis is unreal

Here are there numbers across...and I'm not sure Bryant will have more hrs....he's been really streaky will the hrs. Didn't hit any at the start, then hit a bunch, then hasn't hit one since.
