Kris Bryant Firehose of Splooge Thread

[SKO]

I was thinking the same thing Fork about Iowa. I was looking at the league stats for him. .355/458/702/1.160 with 20 2B's, 22 HR's, 58 RBI and 43 walks. He's 30 points higher than 2nd place in batting, 48 pts up in OBA, 105 pts in SLG and a ridiculous difference in OPS with 1.160 to .996 for Jake Lamb. He's 3rd in the league in doubles, 1st in walks, 9 homer lead over 2nd and 1st in RBI. At this pt you'd think they were just trotting out a tee for him. How long before he moves up to Iowa to test himself? Right now he's just making AA pitching look like drooling, mouth-breathing, window-licking, helmet-wearing, shortbus-riding halfwits.

I honestly don't care if he ever plays a game for Iowa. I don't think AAA pitching is that much better than AA pitching. There are plenty of quadruple-A turds in the PCL that wouldn't give Bryant much of a challenge. The arms at AA are much more live, although more mistakes might be made with regard to location and sequence. So, there are big league-ish breaking balls at AAA but not the ones that are going to offer a true test of his mettle. I mean the great Chris Rusin would be on his team so unless they hooked up in a simulated game or something I don't know what there would be to accomplish at that level.

Are you just saying this so we can ignore Baez' AAA stats in favor of his AA stats? Because I'm cool with that, actually.

I'd be MUCH more worried about Javy Baez getting called up right now as opposed to Kris Bryant.

I will now duck and run for cover.

I don't think you'll find anyone who disagrees with you, so you can come out of hiding now.

You forget that IAN is THE Kris Bryant guy, Eli, and thus the lone voice in the wilderness willing to tell it like it is.

I would be the Schwarber guy if you hadn't called dibs. He and I both graduated from the same crappy university. But then again, I'm just not a big fan of short, fat white guys - except for Oleg before he grew six inches and turned Mexican.

It's interesting strategy that usually pays off.

They let him participate in the AA All-Star Game stuff first. Makes sense. Now what can we be angry at Epstink about?
