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

>>77207699
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?

>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?

schwarber's knee is still weakened and needs a brace plus he is absolutely terrible behind the plate

>>77208119
Probably because Schwarber died last year and they don't want him to start squatting down on his knee just yet.

>>77208223
Forgot that he meme'd his knee, thanks

>>77208223
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

>>77208283
To bad nobody else is doing anything

>>77208260
Schwarbs is debatable, but benching Addi for who, La Stella? You're nuts, dude is an All-Star

>>77208302
Baez
Zo/Happ at 2nd

>>77208302
Not this season

>>77208380

shocking

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

>>77208519
Idk people were shitting on butler but he wasn't even the worst pitcher on the team

>>77208562
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

koji was serving it up

>>77208997
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
