DeRosa K's looking He's having a string of sucky at bats

[Post Count Padder]

Sigh. So much for that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa now 0 for his last 8 with 5 strikeouts and 9 men left on base.

 

Go CUBS !!

[E.J.]

DeRosa should take a 9 iron to the plate next time he's up.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Wow, DeRosa is racking up those Ks lately.

 

We're going to have a lot of K's back to back with Soriano/DeRosa/Lee.

JJones vs RHP last year:

 

396ab 120h 21hr 59rbi 33bb 83k .303avg .358obp .528slg .886ops

 

MMurton vs RHP last year:

 

319ab 94h 7hr 43rbi 27bb .295avg .356obp .426slg .782ops.

 

Food for thought..

 

I'm well aware that Jones had a good year last year, at least against RHP. That's why we should have traded him in the off-season. I'm more than happy to put Murton's .350 OBP in the 2 hole against RHP or LHP.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Almost looks like Hoye was behind the plate on that one.

 

It was Boyd! Boyd! :lol:

[Brian]

I think Riot should start at 2nd tomorrow.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

DeRosa should take a 9 iron to the plate next time he's up.

 

naw cuz then he'll think he gets a mulligan when he strikes out with men on base...id rather just see one K per DeRosa at bat

[C.C.]

I think Riot should start at 2nd tomorrow.

Yep. Time to give the Derosa a day off...

[Brian]

Marquis vs. Ensberg

 

pop out to shallow left

 

1 down

[jersey cubs fan]

communication breakdown, it's always the same. I'm having a nervous breakdown, drive me insane.

 

I think NSBB game thread participants slacked off their spring training drills and aren't quite in sync yet.

[E.J.]

Floyd is scary in LF.

[Magnetic Curses]

is this pitcher looking THAT good or are we just terrible today?

[BigSlick]

Floyd is scary in LF.

 

No one is forcing Lou to put him there.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Hey at least our top setup man didnt give up a game winning two run home run to a terrible hitting, defensive shortstop yesterday....

I'm shocked that these game threads aren't exactly like they were in spring training.

[RichHillIsABeast]

The latter. He's been missing his spots regularly.

[Brian]

Marquis vs. Fat Lance

 

walk

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Floyd is scary

 

Yes. Yes he is.

[CDBears1259]

is this pitcher looking THAT good or are we just terrible today?

 

Or any day?

Please stop with the Murton man crushes! I like the guy too but goodness, he'll get his chance. It's not like has been killing the ball or getting on base any other way. It's game 8.

seems like we're swinging and missing a lot.

[Careless]

that pitch missed its spot by about a foot
