I'm not going to waste your time with this lead item. I'm just going to tell you that there was lightning at Wednesday night's Cubs game and Kris Bryant's terrified reaction made for the perfect GIF. Tom Brady has six Super Bowl rings, more money than he can spend, two little kids and a supermodel wife and he's worried about what Max Kellerman says? Very bizarre. Anyway, in Kellerman said Brady was going to "fall off a cliff" and be a "bum" soon, so Brady referenced that line today when he posted his throwing speed we assume on an Instagram story.

Kris Bryant hit 55 home runs in minor league games. Addison Russell hit 38 home runs minor league games. Of course, the unexpected happened Friday, with Russell beating Bryant to the milestone against the Brewers at Wrigley Field. Not only has Bryant's prodigious power been talked about since the minute the Cubs drafted him in , but he also had five more major league games on Russell heading into Friday's afternoon tilt. But it was Russell who was first to smack his first major league roundtripper, a solo shot in the bottom of the third that landed in the under-construction bleachers in left-center field. Of course, some enterprising Cubs fan made the leap into the active construction zone to retrieve the ball , though the Cubs wound up with the ball and will give it to Russell as a keepsake. Cubs manager Joe Maddon gave Russell the day off Wednesday after the rookie had been struggling some at the plate. With Thursday's off-day, that gave Russell back-to-back days where he could hit the reset button and get his head back on track. The move seemed to work, as Maddon felt the year-old looked more at ease at the plate - "I thought his approach today was outstanding.
