Did Len just say that Baez is a real good tagger?? They really like his tagging skills? The fuck.

He ain't no Ryan Flaherty.

I advised you that you could perform your own research. You asked for one team; I gave you one team.

2012 Cubs

Opening day 14 players 11 pitchers that lasted for 4 days
From April 9 thru Aug 20.... 13 players and 12 pitchers
Aug 21-31 14 players 11 pitchers
137 days with 13 players and 12 pitchers
15 days with 14 players and 11 pitchers

I would say 137>15

Now do your research and show me a team after 2000 that went most of the season with 14/11.
Give me one any one.

Bryant 4-for-5 today but no home runs. Only 3 doubles. Hitting .459 on 37 ABs.

He should go to Iowa and work on his home runs.

Bryant & Russell & Baez sent down to triple-A

Baez scratched from lineup. Herrera playing second. Bryant, through team spokesman, declined to talk to media after get sent out.

Well Theo did a splendid job pissing Bryant off. You knew he was going to get too cute with his little plan and alienate the clubhouse.

You are looking at this wrong. Theo is trying to create the fire and the passion in Bryant. Well done, Theo well done.

Totally understanding the real reason Bryant was sent down, but he should be on the roster. It's bad for the game and for the fans, that he's not there opening night. Russell should be on the roster as well. Much rather have Russell and Bryant on the roster, versus Olt, Alcantara, LaStella, and any other shit utility guys they shove down our throats.
