5/12 Cubs (Guzman) vs. Padres (Williams) 1:20 CSN

[cheapseats]

Mabry with yet another K. He was striking out on an average of once every 3.5 AB's or so before today's game. That'll just help that stat out.

 

But power hitters like Mabry tend to strike out frequently. Adam Dunn strikes out a lot, too, but his walks and homeruns more than make up for the whiffs.

 

I think you need to average a little better than one home run every 35 at bats during the course of your major league career to be considered a power hitter.

 

So you're saying you don't consider Dunn a power hitter :?:

[YearofDaCubs]

Pierre is a worthless...

[Master Shake]

If you have a choice of putting either Murton or Nefi in the #2 hole, what should the choice be?

 

Let me think for a moment..

 

 

Hmmm...

[cheapseats]

Guz is now 1 behind Pierre in RBI this yr.......Wow

 

RBI is a counting stat. Rate stats are more meaningful.

[CubfaninCA]

i'm amazed pierre has 2 rbis this season.

There's so many things wrong with this club it's not even funny.

uh, I'm pretty sure Dunn hits a homer in a shorter span than once in every 35 AB's. The only things they have in common is that they are left handed and that they play the OF/1B. Everything else is a pretty bad comparison between Mabry and Dunn.

You have to be acting silly, no one can honestly compare Dunn to a journeyman like Mabry.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 7-5 when their pitcher gets a hit.... 8-14 when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

does this stat count the hit that Ohman had yesterday, or just Starting Pitchers?

 

any pitcher.

True...but I think you get my point.

wait. if Mabry doesn't give us power off the bench or speed or particularly good defense, then why is he on the team?

[UMFan83]

Pierre flied out to left field

 

Wonder what Rnez is doing these days

[TheDude]

What's with all the bickering? The Cubs are winning folks. We don't get to say that much these days, so be happy!

[badger1679666666]

Wait. Let me get this straight. Cheapseats is comparing John Mabry to Adam Dunn?

[TruffleShuffle]

So you're saying you don't consider Dunn a power hitter :?:

 

Yeah I do, because he hits a home run every 14 ABs, which is about 2.5 times more frequent than Mabry.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Guz is now 1 behind Pierre in RBI this yr.......Wow

Freddy Bynum has as many RBI's as Juan Pierre.

 

I know your lead-off hitter isn't going to get a chance to knock in too many runs, but that is just awful no matter how you slice it.

[TruffleShuffle]

wait. if Mabry doesn't give us power off the bench or speed or particularly good defense, then why is he on the team?

 

Who knows, ask Jim Hendry that question, not me. Jacque Jones is on the team too, and I can't explain that one either.

[Master Shake]

From what I can tell, Guzman isn't looking too bad so far today.

 

At least compared to his last outing.

[cheapseats]

 

I know your lead-off hitter isn't going to get a chance to knock in too many runs, but that is just awful no matter how you slice it.

 

If Dusty keeps putting his best hitters at the bottom of the order, Pierre should have plenty of chances to knock in runs.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Guz is now 1 behind Pierre in RBI this yr.......Wow

 

RBI is a counting stat. Rate stats are more meaningful.

 

Pierre has driven in 2 of 38 baserunners...... 0.053

Guzman has driven in 1 of 5 baserunner.......0.200

 

How's that ?

He'll start hitting the ball further when it warms up.
