5/1 Cubs (Lilly) at Pitt (Armas) resumes 5/2 at 11:30 am CT

[Chocolate Milk]

Close.

[RichHillIsABeast]

The guy can't even throw a strike and they're just going to help him get outs!

 

Izzy must go. DeRosa? Starting to really want to see him in a bench role

 

You want to bench our 3rd best hitter so far?

I'm showing he's now hitting .268! He's a droppin'

It's hard to complain about DeRosa too much so far. He's been fine.

[98navigator]

Sori flies out to the deepest part of the park; near the 410 sign

[RichHillIsABeast]

Soriano's starting to crush the ball.

[Post Count Padder]

Sori out

[da bears]

Soriano's starting to crush the ball.

 

Hopefully he goes on a huge tear this month.

He's OPSing .850+.

With an OPS well over 800, including an acceptable OBP. That average is meaningless.

what's with the sub of Murton Pie aint that much faster?

 

Really? I don't know for a fact, but I thought Pie was much faster than pretty much anyone else except Soriano.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Pie is much much faster than Murton.

[windycityfan]

Soriano's starting to crush the ball.

 

Though trying to clear the fence on every at-bat. Why!

Howry still pitching

:-k

 

:scratch:

 

 

He ain't?

[98navigator]

He hit that ball well and it would have been out of any other part of the park.

Doumit out to CF

I don't know that 1/100 of a second is going to make a difference in scoring, esp. with an unproven rookie.

I'd rather he just concentrate on making good contact, which it sounds like he did.

Pie is much faster, and a much better defender. It's a perfectly justifiable move.
