    Is that why Maddon was ejected? I'm following a damn live feed since I'm at work.

    He got ejected after the next pitch went into what was left of the left center field bleachers. All 5 runs were scored as a result of bad non strike calls by the home plate umpire.

    The Padres sure are setting the stage for great dramatics. Walking rizzo to get to bryant. Come on kid.

    This anonymous Cubs fan seemed particularly concerned about Bryant's play today ...

    I also just learned Mr. Bryant went to HS about a mile from where I used to live in vegas....he went to one of the original high schools...not one of the dozens that have sprouted on the outskirts.

    That must be his achilles. The inside pitch. They have pounded bryant all day inside. He looks very over anxious out there. He will bounce back from this and be fine.

    He will bounce back. This kid doesn't have a weakness. He's the real deal.

    Goldschmidt here in AZ has a a sweet stroke as well. It took a couple of seasons to learn how to adjust his swing as pitchers adjusted to him. The hitting coach will make an adjustment to help him get those inside ones and pitchers will abuse whatever the new weak zone is caused by the new mechanics. This kid could could be great but until he learns to adjust on the fly don't count the chickens until they hatch. Many other big time prospects failed for this problem.

    He is going to be a very good player but he is going to strike out a ton. There will be many multi home run games and many golden sombreros

    Hit hitting coach IS very high on him. He has a unique swing, it's direct, but the ball goes up. So I would predict more flyouts than strikeouts.

    That's all fine but he has struck out a ton at every level. He is going to put up big strike out numbers, but also big power numbers

    Little bit better day yesterday for the phenom. 2-3, an rbi, and 3 walks. That'll boost the OBP!

    We really need to start thinking about intentionally walking Middlebrooks. He's had the Cubs' number for a while.

    I still can't get over seeing a game being broadcast on Wgn and not being able to watch it on Wgn. Still blows my mind.
