He pitched in '88. If you are too young sorry.

I was born in 1986. I don't trust the opinions of my two year old self. He was also in love with watching bowling on TV.

Also, if you think late career Steve Carlton was "good"...

Is that you singing on Requiem?

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

the cat snaps out of a cold streak by going oppo against kershaw and then pulling a bomb into LF.

i love this dude.

Bryant, who now has 12 homers on the season, is up to a .278/.381/.486 line with a 3.2 WAR … THROUGH ONLY 70 GAMES. Yes, that’s right. I’ll say it again. Kris Bryant has been playing at a 7.5 WAR pace this year.

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

And it is only the beginning of what will be.

FYI, Babe Ruth only earned 5.1 WAR in his age-23 season.

Bryant>>>Ruth

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Maybe he can step in and replace Jordy Nelson as well.

I don't waste my time with the Cubs.

He's no damn better than Gary Scott.

The HR to Right Center was impressive. The 2nd one got a bit of help from the wind, but he's had some Homers taken away by the wind too. Many more I believe. Hopefully he can get on another run where he can hit 6-8 homers in a 8-10 game stretch and make more consistent contact. I like seeing him go to RF, as so many pitchers try to get him out on the low, outside part of the plate. If he can go to right more often, that will make a huge difference. Rookie of the Year, as I said before the season began.

Im pretty hammered right now.

...yeah but can he hit 25-30 HR's? because thats what trace Thompson is hitting next year!

Deep like a puddle

He will have 25 or more this season and didn't even begin the season in the majors. Next season and for several years to come (barring injury) I have to believe he will have 30 or more.

He only missed 9 games. It wasn't like he came up June 1st.

NO...maybe Shark can get a tryout.....
he'll need to make up for that lost income after THIS GREAT season.... #WinNow

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

9 games still probably means 1-2 HR's difference. Knowing the pitchers, their release points, their stuff, how they approach hitters, etc. will be the biggest difference going forward. That and the confidence he will have gained from a successful rookie campaign.

The same pitchers can adjust to him. A baseball career is fifteen years worth of adjustments.

Look...I think he projects to be pretty damn good, of course. But I'm not speaking in absolutes. 30 HR is harder than it used to be. Especially 30 HR while hitting .270.

Yeah, it's difficult. That's why he's considered an exceptional talent. That's why he led all of professional Baseball in HR last season and was minor league player of the year. Why he will be rookie of the year. Why he made the All-Star game as a rookie. The guy is a unique talent.

Ok I definitely know who Anti Crew Mult is.

Third baseman Kris Bryant of the Chicago Cubs has been voted the National League Rookie of the Month for August.

In 28 games last month, Bryant hit .330 (33-for-100), good for third among NL rookies, while his seven homers and 20 RBI both were tied for second behind teammate Kyle Schwarber. Bryant had the League's highest rookie slugging percentage (.620), while his .422 on-base percentage and 62 total bases were tops among all Major League rookies. He also ranked among League rookie leaders in runs scored (3rd, 19) and hits (4th).

.330/.422/.620
