       Bryant apparently is a wee bit honked off at people doubting
       him.

       You may be correct.

       Bryant, on past and current criticism: "I read one thing and it
       just motivates me to either shut that person up or prove them
       wrong. I’ve been doing that my entire life, so bring it on."
       Jesse Rogers[font=verdana]@ESPNChiCubs[/font]
       Bryant:"When you’re not playing you have a whole lot of time to
       just sit there and either go through a twitter rabbit hole and
       start seeing things about yourself,or seeing things about ‘trade
       him’ and this and that.And I’m like ‘Alright.I’m motivated, keep
       ‘em coming. Bring it’”

       Hard-hit, solid single pulled to left for Kris Bryant as he's
       taken out for a pinch-runner. I'm not one to care about spring
       stats at all, but seeing KB pull the ball with authority twice
       is exactly what people worried about his shoulder need to allay
       those fears.

       The offensive juggernaut that is the Cubs goes into the late
       innings ahead of the hapless Milwaukee Brewers 8 to 2.  They are
       attempting to establish themselves as the first place team in
       the Cactus League.

       Oscar de la Cruz coming in to pitch the ninth inning.
       Immediately throws a fastball at 96 mph.

       Cubs are in first place.  The Cubs are in first place.

       He wasn't actually throwing very fast last year, either in camp
       or during the season .  That was part of the camp story last
       year.  **IF** he could consistently throw really fast, he might
       regain some interest.

       More from Kris Bryant, to CUBluejay's point.

       KB was asked if he thinks ppl forgot how good he was to start
       last season (1.022 OPS in first 38 gms before injury) "Totally.
       This game is all about “What have you done for me lately?” And
       boy did I get to experience that last year. So... yeah. That’s
       all I got to say about that"

       Maybe it will be Kris Bryant joining Bryce Harper in a few years
       rather than the other way around this year.
