The look on Trevor Bauer's face after Soler, Baez, and Bryant went back to back to back off him was priceless.

Kris Bryant. 
It's going to be a loooong three or four weeks in April while he's in AAA.

i felt bad for the guy being interviewed from the dougout as it happened. after each question he had to watch his pitcher give up another homerun

I just wanted to throw this out there: Kris Bryant is awesome.

Will Ferrell lost track of that moonshot Bryant hit over his head. He had no idea where the ball went.

It really is pretty comical they're going to send him to AAA to start the season.

I wish it would, but I don't really know what they can do about it. If the MLBPA digs in the owners just dig in harder.

Smart move by the Cubs. Trade a few early weeks in a young career for a full season at the end. Boros is already whining.Kris Bryant.

He's the best middle infielder defensively, but it's tough to have a below mendoza line hitting K machine in your lineup every day. Platoon him against lefties only?
If he's in the lineup every day I'm going to hate him. Can't stand the K's.
I'm fine with Alcantara and La Stella at second until he figures it out. Baez needs to go down and mash for a while before coming back. He hasn't hit a lick since Triple A last year, and he was striking out 30% of the time even there.. Garbage in the majors, the Puerto Rican league, and now Spring Training since then.

Who's making the rotation after Lester, Arrieta, Hammel? Hendricks hasn't pitched much. Wood has been just ok. Jackson has been awful.

Hendricks and Wood is my guess. I think the fiasco of missing his ST start last week will keep Jackson out of the rotation for now. Before that, it looked like they might go with a rotating 5th starter of Wood/Jackson.

Phil Coke has made the team. 2.2 million becomes guaranteed.

Thinking that I just might have gotten myself a little too caught up in the excitement.

In their defense, Waino was pitching great last night and Cubs bullpen looked formidable.

The "Lester can't throw to the bases" thing didn't bother me when they signed him, but I hope he gets it corrected soon. At least he was quick to the plate with runners on.

He has the yips. Did AL teams just not run on him? I don't recall it being a story last year. It's going to cost him and the Cubs a lot of runs.

No ones worse than Garza. Last year he sailed a throw to 1B on a comebacker to the mound about 10 rows into the stands.

Nothing like a road trip to Denver to kick start the bats.
This offense is built to mash mediocre pitching. At least it will be here soon. They're going to strike out a ton against upper tier starters.

Contact would help. They're already leading MLB in runners LOB.

A lot has changed since last year, but what hasn't is hitting with RISP.
Still awful.

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Especially with Rizzo/Soler struggling a bit out of the gate and Bryant counting down the days.
Interested to see how Lester fares in start two tonight.

I'd think they'd wait at least the full two weeks and probably err on the side of caution. These dates seem to move.

Are the Cubs only on WGN locally now? I haven't noticed any of their games being on in my area yet. God bless MLB.tv
