I know he knocked in 3 runs in the first but hes still a bum and looks totally clueless at the plate.. Swung thru a few fat fastballs right down the middle too.. Call me unimpressed

Perhaps we can give Bryant a slight break and not refer to him as a bum on a day he knocks in 3.

As I mentioned before, if we are expecting Kris Bryant 2016 production, we probably won't get that. If we adjust our expectations to George Springer-like production, that's what we get. With Boras as his agent, he's probably going to want top dollar. As holiday613 said, he has mega potential but is he willing to tap into that or just coast along on his reputation? I think also what frustrates holiday613 is that after the first inning, Bryant had a lot of non-productive ABs where he really could have made the game a lot less stressful than it ended up being.

I think also what frustrates holiday613 is that after the first inning, Bryant had a lot of non-productive ABs where he really could have made the game a lot less stressful than it ended up being. A couple of things:
1-Bryant has been emphatic that HE calls the shots, NOT Scottygimmethebucks.
2-I'm hoping, and I've said this before, that he takes his cue from Posey, Crawford and Belt and ALLOWS our hitting coaches to make some swing refinements. He does that, and he'll be a big time sign for us, poor defense or not.
3-He seems to want to return with SF. I hope that's not just a lot of rhetoric, but I really don't want us signing Story or any other SS out there, not based upon what we have on the farm.

Let me reiterate, Bryant is a useless bum..Unless he is hiding an injury, this guy is basically worthless given his salary..He can't hit softballs tossed at him..He lunges and chases horrible pitch after horrible pitch and he cant field a lick..What a horrible signing..We probably lose come in 2nd place because of him and we gave up 2 great players for this crap rental..Horrible..Just horrible...

Mordy I couldn't agree more. He chases more crap out of the strike zone than anybody I've seen since Matt Williams 1986. So much talent. Wasted.
