Bulls look like playoff team this year

I don't buy them as a contender up there with Cavs/Tor/Bos but they should be a good enough team to make it to 2nd round potentially. If given right matchup (Someone knocking out Cavs) they could go further

 

[Easy E]

I am going to guess this is the lineup.... I don't like the 3 strikeout targets at the bottom in a row.

Fowler (CF)
Bryant (3B)
Rizzo (1B)
Zobrist (LF)
Schwarber (DH)
Russell (SS)
Heyward (RF)
Contreras (C)
Baez (2B)

Whether it's a trend or not remains to be seen, by Heyward was making a lot more contact last game. Hard contact. Hopefully that keeps up.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

So far, we know 1-5 is this:

Fowler
Schwarber
Bryant
Rizzo
Zorilla

Folwer
Schwarber
KB
Rizzo
Zobi
Baez
Russell
Contreras
Heyward

 

[Easy E]

Embarassing.... please turn this around Javy.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Please no 3 righties in a row there.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Embarassing.... please turn this around Javy.

I don't think you know who Javier Baez is.

 

[Easy E]

I don't think you know who Javier Baez is.

Guy was a beast in the NLCS.... I wish he would return to that form.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Guy was a beast in the NLCS.... I wish he would return to that form.

Exactly.

 

[Easy E]

Exactly.

What's your prediction for the game?

 

[MurrayBannerman]

What's your prediction for the game?

That I will have tons of anxiety.

 

[00xtremeninja]

That I will have tons of anxiety.

sad but true on this end too. Have to watch a recording tonight.............and hopefully tomorrow night

 

[Blue Liner]

Just get this **** to Game 7. Anything can happen then. Win this one and push it all to one final showdown. Please.

 

[Easy E]

Javy in 9th.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Javy in 9th.

Probably best considering he can't lay off a breaking pitch to save his life, and has been pretty much invisible on the offensive side of things through the entire World Series.

 

[Illinihockey]

Javy has wheels, I'd just like to see him lay down a bunt and see if he could get on.

 

[Easy E]

Javy has wheels, I'd just like to see him lay down a bunt and see if he could get on.

I hope it conks him in the head when he realizes "****, I'm behind J-Hey??"

Light the fire... GO CUBS. LETS DO THIS BOYS.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

No problem with his position. He needs a reset, but his bat when it connects is way too vital to make him sit in the World Series.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Javy in 9th.

If he can make something positive happen then good lead-in to the lineup restart.

 

[Easy E]

If he can make something positive happen then good lead-in to the lineup restart.

Lets go baby. Put up runs early.

Yes agree.....after watching 2 of the first 3 i am actually excited about this team.

 

[BrianE]

Ok here we go! just win!

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

The Bulls are a solid big away from guaranteeing that they'll lose to the Raps/Cavs
