Read this article on Kris Bryant and how he's being pitched...this is almost an indictment on his propensity to strikeout way too much (evidenced by his recent struggles to make contact). Granted, Kris Bryant will draw a walk and does have an OBP over 100 points higher than his AVG. But for someone hitting in the middle of the order, he needs to make more solid contact and start driving the ball.

I'm not worried about Kris Bryant, but I am interested to see if and when he begins his adjustment to how he's being pitched.

Tonight's lineup:



Finally, that's a thing of beauty.

ETA: Here's another article, this time on Junior Lake. I think it's a bit pie in the sky, but I have wondered a bit why Matt Szczur has spent more time with the Cubs than Junior Lake.

A new thread. Thing of beauty
Heard Pat Hughes say 100+ K's in 87 games so far. He does draw walks and is a tremendous baserunner though.

Solid read. I think part of the issue is he's getting the "rookie treatment" by umpires. I've seen more than a handful of AB's where he gets hosed.

It’s become apparent that pitchers are quickly reaching the conclusion that they may lose to the Cubs, but it won’t be Kris Bryant hitting a 500-foot home run that will be the cause of that loss.


This won't happen as much when we start to hit better as a team.
