@TheCCO: #Cubs vs. #Reds, Reed (7/4):
Baez 2B
Bryant LF
Rizzo 1B
Contreras C
Russell SS
Heyward RF
Candelario 3B
Hendricks P
Almora Jr. CF

Look who leading off, and who batting 6th

Not sure about Russel in 5 hole protecting Contreras..
Be interesting to see if bottom of order can provide anything to get it back to top quickly and with guys on base.

Lets Go
Fresh Start

@CarrieMuskat: On moving Heyward down, #Cubs Maddon says with week left before ASG, "it's a good time to give it a test drive"

I wonder what they do with Fowler. Be smart to hold him out until the all star break, but he should be an NL starter and you cant take that away from him.

Heyward is a different hitter when he just goes with the pitch and doesnt try to pull everything

That is a beautiful swing from Heyward. He starts hitting those and he will be just fine.

Maddon said he needs some rehab games before returning to chicago, so if AS is first game then he ok with that

Yeah I will be up his ass for the rest of the season if he keeps driving the ball to left center. That's where a ton of doubles are at and 2 huge RBIs. Fuck it feels good to unload on someone. Im glad I don't play for the Reds. It must suck to have a huge target on your shirts when facing a team that just got swept and played like dog shit!!!!!

Yeah they showed him over the weekend on camera when it was on MLB Gameday and they pulled up his swing from 2011 when he was with Braves and tore the ball up. And it shows his body angle is changing and he drops his head so much more that if he can stop doing that he would be able to drive the ball to all fields but especially to left center when he goes with a pitch. I think they finally sat his ass down and said "hey you either start hitting or its the bench and im fucking serious, if u cant tell me be a man and tell me and we will deal with that shit. Like playing his down in the lineup and then if he doesnt start hitting its going to be the bench. Because if he can't do the work and knows with his hitting coach what the problem, what is the fucking problem? How about getting in the fucking cage until to figure that shit out mr $180K per game bum!!!!

A page right out the Grimson "how to troll a IGT" book.

Yeah, but Grimson was better at it. Grimson was annoying. This guy just looks foolish. But dementia can be very damaging to the aged.

Poor old bastard.

Bryant also must hit the highest home runs in the league.
