Kris Bryant is going to Iowa.
Arodys Vizcaino is going to Iowa.
Armando Rivero is going to Iowa.
I am going to Iowa.
You should go to Iowa.
If you are able to go see the Triple A Cubs, now featuring both Baez and Bryant, the most powerful pair of sluggers to a share a team in the minors today, then this is the time to go. Even if you can’t come out on Friday or Saturday, make a point to get to Iowa. You may never see two hitters of this caliber on the same team with tickets this affordable ever again. Times like this is when minor league tickets really become a fantastic value.
As for plans for this weekend’s games: I aim to be in the stadium both Friday and Saturday not long after the gates open. After the game Friday, if the weather holds up, I’ll probably head over to El Bait Shop for awhile; feel free to drop by and say hi (I’ll be the short bearded guy in a black Bleacher Nation shirt – assuming I haven’t melted by then). Â Or hunt me down in the stadium before or during either of the games. Â I’m pretty much always happy to talk with fellow minor league fans.
I’ve already heard from a number of readers who are coming out to the games this weekend, and that’s awesome. I wish you could all make it. Minor league games are a great experience anyway, but when you factor in a chance to see players like Baez AND Bryant at close range it gets very hard to pass up.
Go to Iowa, folks. There are two 70+ power hitters who featured in the top ten of most national prospect lists in that lineup. Assuming these guys stay healthy you will have this opportunity for the next few months, maybe for a few weeks next year, and that could be it. This really is a rare chance. Don’t miss it.
