Top Ten Pleasant Surprises This Year (Also Doubleheader Thread) – Cubs/Padres
10. Kris Bryant’s even better than last year. Kris Bryant led the league in missing balls he swung at last year. That was the main contributor to his 199 strikeouts. You can live with that many strikeouts if you hit the cover off the ball when you make contact and draw walks besides, and Bryant did both of those things …

Cubs 9, Reds 2 (4/14/2016)
OSS: My original title was "Cubs a fuckload, Reds not nearly as many," but I want to trick people into still coming to this website. Three Up 1. Kris Bryant absolutely crushed one down the left field line for a HR. He also had 2 walks. He might be heating up. 2. Miguel Montero is good. He had 3 runs …

Series Preview: Reds (5-1) @ Cubs (5-1)
The Cubs went 5-1 on their season-opening road trip, and now come home to face the surprisingly potent Cincinnati Reds. The Reds' offseason was basically notable for who they weren't able to unload (Brandon Phillips, Jay Bruce, and Joey Votto). They did unload Todd Frazier, but they would have loved for all three to get out of town. Instead, Phillips …
Cubs 7, Diamondbacks 3 (4/10/2016)
OSS Arrieta wasn't perfect, but he helped his own cause and the Cubs wore down the Diamondbacks 7-3. Three Up 1. Miguel Montero had 2 doubles that were about 4 feet away either up or left from being home runs. He also had a good presentation game, and was generally just a badass. 2. Soler had a 21-run bomb to …
