Kris Bryant is a tall dude
Eno Sarris with an interesting article at fangraphs about Kris Bryant’s height, and how there’s a nontrivial correlation between height and strikeout rate/power.
Today in headlines that keep repeating themselves
From ESPN: “Maddon updset with Cubs’ lack of fundamentals.” The Jim Hendry era lives on, though as Maddon points out having three managers in three years certainly doesn’t help either.
Random randomness
- St. Louis ‘cuisine’ is a thing (dying laughing). I think they missed St. Louis Fondue (Velveeta on saltines).
- Vince Gilligan implores BB fans to stop throwing pizzas on the roof of the BB house, which is owned by a nice elderly couple. The real question is where in ABQ these people are buying giant, unsliced pizzas to do this.
Today’s lineup
- Denorfia DH
- Baez 2B
- Soler RF
- Olt 1B
- Bryant 3B
- Lake LF
- Castillo C
- Russell SS
- Sczcur CF
