Kris Bryant is being pitched to like he's been in the league for five years. He's got 16 BB on the season (4 BB last night) in 16 games. That's good for 6th in the NL already
I think Maddon should move Bryant to the 2 hole. If pitchers are going to pitch around him, at least give Rizzo a shot to do some damage behind him. Plus, with Russell in the 9 hole, he'd be like a 3 hole hitter if Russell and/or Fowler are getting on base.
But the offense wasn't the problem last night. I think Grimm will be on the fast track back to Chicago.

There's no chance this will happen. Bryant has been driving in plenty of runs because Rizzo is getting on base also. He's 5th in all of baseball in OBP. The reason they "pitched around" Bryant last night was because Rizzo wasn't on base any of the times that Bryant hit. The same would happen if Bryant were in front of Rizzo and not getting on base.

That is the whole thought process around slotting Soler in the 2 hole. Has worked great all season. Soler has just been in a slump and is starting to work his way out of it.
