I'm sure both Bryant and Schwarber will be fantastic players. It just seems that, to the naked eye, Schwarber has had more of a direct impact on things than Bryant has.

And yes, Turd-oslavich is garbage.

I already posted that Walgreens = Nationals (credit to whoever made that up, I like it), so obviously that means pretty much falling out of the playoff race like the NATIONALS have been doing in real life. Also not sure how you took my post to mean the Nats have anything to do with the Jays playoff chances.

I know, and I already said....


....nevermind.

Nick Swisher...big 3-run homer pulls the Braves to 6-4 in the 8th. Might be too little too late, but his enthusiasm is fun to watch.

Said what? You misunderstood my post/didn't read enough to know, when I had already explained it. There was nothing about my posts that didn't make sense.

But like you said, never mind.

Kris Bryant has been struggling recently.

After wrapping up the first three months of the season with a .275/.381/.466 line, Bryant struggled in July, posting a .639 OPS and 33.3 percent strikeout rate (both were his worst for any month).

last month was just brutal but he has looked much better this month i know that is a SSS but I think he will be fine.

I've always liked Nick Swisher. I wished the Mariners signed him in 2013 (I think) when he was a big FA but he went to the Tribe. Looking back, I'm glad we didn't, lol.

It made no sense to me either which is why I asked you what you were talking about.

But after I clarified that it meant Nationals, I thought that would've cleared it up. He still apparently didn't understand after that

Rizzo or Abreu for the next 10 years? And Cubs and Sox fans aren't allowed to answer. lol

Rizzo, hands down. More complete player and much younger...not even a discussion, IMO.

EASILY Rizzo. The dude actuall is a 20/20 candidate and IMO is a better hitter than Abreu

No ones said anything about it during the game, but Rondon (Tigers Closer) has some sort of foreign substance on his arm. Really noticeable.

EDIT: it's on his throwing arm, which I think is allowed, my bad lol

Scared me for a second until I read the bold. But Hector's not even in the game yet anyway.

Re: 8/3 - 8/16 Game Discussion Thread

Kris Bryant and Joc need to cut down their K totals. So much potential!

I'll never get off that bandwagon; get a lighter bat (1-2 oz) and let the pitcher's velocity work for you.

Maybe it me but it's like Ryan Howard reborn and his shelf life was small after his power dropped.
