Saw the replays of Bryant’s three HRs.

You could overlay the three swings over each other and it would look like one.

The three HRs all landed within 50 feet of each other.

But....what about the shoulder surgery?

With Michael, it was the shoes.
With KB, it is the bat.

If you really think about the slightly different angle the lower hand is on that bat and following that up to the shoulder you see a slightly path the arm travels at to said shoulder.

LOL. That’s nonsense.

Is Zobrist's absence supposed to be a secret, and am I a bad person if I kind of think he should man up and get back to work?

I mean, what did his wife do that he can't play baseball, abandon the kids at a truck stop?

He’s a week shy of being 38 years old. In the grand scheme of things baseball isn’t number 1. And yes, you don’t know enough information to say he should get back to work. Where do you think his head is going to be in the batters box?

I like Ben Zobrist. But what is it exactly we are so desperately missing in the short time has been out?

Sounds like Julianna was taking some dick on the side. Tough blow but Zoby just needs to man up, he's not the first man that's ever had to deal with that.

Time to play ball!

I highly doubt you are married. But, if you are, lets me give ya wife the long, hard one and see how you function knowing I blew a load on her face. Not saying this happened, but probable.

Tough blow (pun intended) but you still gotta go to work. I doubt most bosses are going to let their employees take an indefinite leave because the wife took a load.

Well, most bosses won’t, but apparently Zobrist’s boss will.
So stop telling them what to do. It’s not yours to decide.

I figured that was coming.

We’ve been playing our best ball during the time that he has been out but the minute we lose a game or two, Zobrist absence is the reason for losing.

The pen blew it in Cincy, but somehow would not have if Ben were here.

Zobrist has been a non factor this season. I'm not even sure why any really miss his non production right now.

Cubs are better off keeping a static OF with Bryant giving the occasional day off on a corner spot vs Zo absorbing those PA'S.

I thought wives were off limits?
