Didn't think about that yet. Bought the tix for $11 something a piece ($3 out of pocket). Cheapest on stub hub right now is $16 something so a $5 jump since the news broke. I'm happy because I should at least get the $20 in cash.

SportsAutoFreak · 04-16-2015, 09:12 PM

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to go to a booth tomorrow and ask what the cheapest tickets are. This is very tempting.

At least we still have Russell.

funny thing is, you still are going to see arguably the #1 prospect in the minor leagues.

He's the same age as me. 20. Definitely not upset at having him up here.

StayingWarm · 04-16-2015, 09:28 PM

I'm headed to the game tomorrow. Worst case, this rumor isn't true and/or he doesn't play and I throw a couple cold ones back and enjoy a day at the ballpark. Best case, I see the start of something big. Either way, I'm happy (and thankful for my buddy who suggested this could happen a couple weeks ago)

Hope it's false lol. I have Iowa cubs tickets tomorrow for their home opener. Still can see Baez and Russell. And a couple guys on here are going too. I think Seager is on OKC too

I'm headed to the Iowa Cubs game tomorrow. Worst case, this rumor is true and I get drunk and see where Kris Bryant played last year.

Seager is with Tulsa. And is Baez still out on bereavement leave?

enbambam6986 · 04-16-2015, 09:41 PM

Is everyone on blowout going to the Iowa Cubs game tomorrow?

IowaCubs1 · 04-16-2015, 09:44 PM

Lol I guess we are. I used to be the assistant clubbie for iowa. Wish I was now!!!

tolrobb · 04-16-2015, 09:45 PM

I wonder where he hits in the lineup.

Fowler
Rizzo
Soler
Coghlan
Bryant
Castro
Montero
Pitcher
Alcantara

is my guess.

nxun · 04-16-2015, 09:46 PM

Finally .....

Fowler

Bryant
Coghlan
Castro
Montero
Alcantara until Russell comes up
Pitcher

I think adding another solid bat in the middle of the lineup will force Maddon to push the pitcher back to the 9 hole.

Headline: "Bryant hit by pitch, breaks wrist, out for season."

"In other news, a member of the Blowout Message board leaped off a tall building clutching a Bryant superfractor..."

Kris Bryant ‏@KrisBryant_23
Today I got to tell my family that my dream is coming true. Can't really put into words what that feels like. So excited for this journey!

briscogun · 04-16-2015, 10:22 PM

So the Mike Olt Era is over already? So long, Mike. We hardly knew ye...

Cubs_rock21 · 04-16-2015, 10:24 PM

I got second row seats behind Third base dugout! Bought them last week hoping this news would happen!

Good for him! Although, I will say he is way overhyped

Good riddance. He's pretty bad, sadly even in video games

Soler should follow bryant or riZzo should...Coghlan should bat two hole

Bryant 4 and Castro down to 6? No way! They aren't going to put a rookie into the clean-up spot fresh out of AAA. Reverse that and you're right on.

WilsonValdez · 04-16-2015, 10:44 PM

Welp, I officially have 3 out of 8 Cubs position players on my fantasy team:

Castro
Soler
& Kris Bryant.

Go Cubs???
