IST:Cubs at Reds

Man wasn't Heyward hitting like .200 3 games ago? He's up to .254/.361/.296 suddenly.

JHey, Rizzo, and Bryant are killing it this series.

So I looked it up. Since the final game of the cards series he is hitting .400/.550/.467 plus whatever he does today(already 3 for 3).

The Cubs pitchers are on a pace to score 30+ runs and have 60+ RBI's. There are position players in the league that won't duplicate that. Of course, that pace won't hold the whole season but it's still an impressive start.

Who needs the DH?

LaStella going yard after two 2bl's!!!

Bryant showing Omelet what a good opposite field swing is.

Another extra base hit for Mr. Loopy swing.....Eggplants must be crying.

I said we should see some of our hitters break out this series

I just don't see the problem some people have with Bryant's defense. Ok, he'll never be Brooks Robinson but he covers up his lack of range a bit by having a very long reach and a strong, accurate arm. I think he's fine there. Look, you're not gonna get a Gold Glover at every position...although the Cubs have a shot to have three with Rizzo, Russell and Heyward.

I'm feeling good about it. Just wish others would do the same

By mid-season there will be a path worn into the grass from the Reds dugout to the pitcher's mound and another from the bullpen.

Many will disagree with me but I'd rather see Javier Baez assume the regular 3B duties and move Bryant to LF. The move would improve the defense at 2 positions. Of course on the flip side moving Baez around allows for more opportunities to rest other players.

Tsuyoshi Wada can close this one out

Cubs take 3 of 4 from the Reds and move to 14-5 on the season. Nice job by Hammel. They still haven't lost a series. Get a days rest tomorrow, and look forward to beat up on Milwaukee and Atlanta next!

The Cubs lost the Rockies series, which is why they're garbage

I can't imagine why anyone would disagree with you, as Baez has clearly shown himself to be a very patient hitter at the plate, taking walks and not swinging at bad pitches.

I like Baez a lot but he hasn't shown anywhere near enough to move the ROY to a new position. I'm perfectly fine with him being a "jack of all trades" backup.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. :shrug:
