Kris Bryant

Boo · 04-06-2016, 07:31 AM

Looking good so far, 0-7 with 3k. I figure that since we will get a thread for each HR this year, we should have one for his start.

SportsAutoFreak · 04-06-2016, 07:35 AM

It's not like Trout is doing much either.

rman112 · 04-06-2016, 07:39 AM

I've heard he adjusted his swing, but I just don't see it. Still angled, and still long. Maybe a tad shorter to the ball, but that's about it.

Who said anything about Trout?

Doublexthebeast · 04-06-2016, 07:45 AM

It's the first week of the season. Facing teams best pitching...... He will be fine

I don't see the need to single out Bryant when he's not the only big name not doing much two games in.

Then we shouldn't single him out when he hits a HR (which will be done every time he hits one). Also there are threads about other players, Bryant is no different.

I can't speak for others. I don't do that.

Harper is getting that treatment now

sjim8660 · 04-06-2016, 08:13 AM

We all know hitters go through hot and cold streaks, it happens to ALL of them. Kris will be ok and I am sure Trout will recover lol.

awz50 · 04-06-2016, 08:14 AM

Nope Trout is a bust, sell now.

Congrats! You learned how to work the Google machine and researched a couple of stats.

2 games down 160 to go, and in the long run if the Cubs continue to win KB's stats don't mean jack to us fans.

Sounds like you're just another bitter collector who:

A) Sold their Bryant cards way too early and you are now praying he fails just to make yourself feel better about the huge loss you took.

B) spent 10K on Bowman Chrome product chasing his autos and got nothing

I for one am just glad the Cubs roster is so deep that we don't have to rely on one player to carry us the entire season.

phreak23 · 04-06-2016, 09:15 AM

Oh wait, I see your location is PA, maybe you're still upset that #Bucktober is still the shortest month in the year

Here they come...the we don't care how he does as long as we win crowd. Good luck, you and he will need it.

texmcpherson · 04-06-2016, 09:15 AM

He does have an RBI, it was a ground out but still.

IamRalpho · 04-06-2016, 09:17 AM

I wish I had the energy/free time to have so much hate to post threads like these after 2 games of the year towards the best players in baseball

mfisher27 · 04-06-2016, 09:18 AM

I'm not sure who's worse right now, Cubs "fans" or Royals "fans". It's really close right now. The thread went over their heads. It's annoying to see a 1 game update for a particular player so he made one to point out a player struggling the first few games.

Sorry not a Bucs fan. Keep trying, I'm sure you will get it by the time the Cubs win a WS.

Back on topic, over/under 220 k's for Bryant this year?

This is kind of contradicting when you're the one making the thread that is gaining attention for the player.

You are correct, some people aren't very bright.

Really man? That is showing specifically you made this thread to just bash on KB after 2 games. Lousy, the season just started damn.

Um yeah, I don't invest in baseball cards, I am a Cubs fan, I do not care how they win, I will take a W no matter what! Of course I want all of the players to be successful, but if Bryant doesn't live up to the hype guess what? We have other players who can step up and still make it happen!

People here who live and die by Kris Bryant and his personal stats are ones who have something to gain or lose from it $$$$$$$
