@Cubs: It's official: #Cubs select the contract of INF Kris Bryant and activate OF Chris Denorfia from the 15-day DL. pic.twitter.com/8CJ8ice4Um

Where the hype for Donorfio cub debut ; ))

Denorfia was a signing I didn't think needed to happen. I will wait and see though.

I like the signing. Nice righty complement to Coghlan in LF and will allow Matt Szczur to go to AAA and get the everyday work he needs, that's the plan at least.

 

[Parade_Rain]

Well, like I said, I'll wait and see. I'm anxious to see what Coghlan is going to do this season. I think it's going to be better than most fans suspected.

lol tell me about it. But seriously if you look at it it makes sense.

I'm seeing it play out with Russell taking over 2B long term. Basically he is a 2nd Castro in the line up. So it makes sense that he should be used as a run.

Soler is an all around hitter. .310/.382/.586 .382 OBA is #3 behind Coghlan and Rizzo.

And Coghlan. Again underrated. .304/.385/.696 Leads the team in SLG. #2 in OBA #3 in BA. #5 hitter is where he belongs right now.


So plugging in Russell #9 where he can be another RBI? Ya it works fine for a kid adjusting to the league.

No thanks. I want Soler batting with at least a runne ron base in the first. Strike early and cripple the opponent

 

[FrankieLyrical]

Welp, Bryant's done. Send him back down. Seasons over. (Not being serious)

 

[chibears55]

He gonna get all junk out of zone from Shields ..
Gonna have to lay off his next AB

 

[FrankieLyrical]

Herrera just mind fucked Shields

 

[ijustposthere]

Herrera just mind fucked Shields

Yeah he did, LOL. Good sequence by Herrerra.

 

[JZsportsfan]

Damnit

Should have been out of that inning already

 

[chibears55]

This ump killing them..
Squeezing Hammel while Shields getting the calls off plate

 

[SilenceS]

Bad sequence with two out by Hammel. Got to knock that out your mibd

ok, now get the hit with the run and my prediction is spot on

 

[JZsportsfan]

Bryant looks good defensively

 

[TC in Mississippi]

Nice throw for throw to get out of the inning from Bryant. His dad was stoked with that one. Fun day. A win would make it infinitely more fun though...

 

[SilenceS]

Well, that is the best play I have ever seen Bryant make in his playing career. Great snag. Needed his whole 6'5 frame

Dont like the way this game going. ..
Hopefully it turns into a bullpen game, tied or with the cubs ahead

 

[chibears55]

That why Soler bats 2nd...
Twice in 3 AB he come up with runner in scoring position. .
Then you got rizzo 3 and now bryant 4th
