7/15 CUBS (Marquis) vs. Astros (Rodriguez), 1:20 PM CT, WGN

[98navigator]

Today's lineup (no kidding)

 

Theriot, SS :shock:

Fontenot, 2B

Lee, 1B

Ramirez, 3B

Soriano, LF :shock:

DeRosa, RF

Soto, C

Pagan, CF

Marquis, P

 

This is the lineup against LHP for the time being.

[Carlos Zambrano]

Hopefully DeRosa starts in RF and Theriot and Fontenot form the double play combination.

 

That wouldn't be too bad, but seeing as how Izturis did yesterday, it wouldn't suprise me to see him in the lineup.

Yeah, gotta hand it to Lou, even if he makes me scratch my head sometimes, at least he'll try something different. He is the anti-Dusty.

[Carlos Zambrano]

I don't know what to think of the new lineup. Wow. I guess we will just have to see if it works.

Lou plans to use that lineup for lefties only because the Cubs are 8-14 vs LHP. Hopefully it helps.

[Sarcastic]

I didn't think Lou would move Soriano out of the leadoff spot. I wonder if this will be a long term experiment or just for LHP. I'm actually fine with Soriano in the leadoff spot, even though I don't think he'd have a problem hitting elsewhere in the order. But, moving him to fifth probably won't hurt much.

[tinkerstoeverstochance]

The Cajun Connection at the top I like it!!! Watchout gaps in LC and RC i see some doubles coming your way :D

What I heard on the SCORE was it was just going to be facing the lefties

 

I know it was the SCORE but it wasn't George this time :lol:

Sweet, Soriano not leading off.

[BigbadB]

This team should kill LHP. Now would be a good time to start.

[PrimeTime]

I am REALLY liking that lineup..I love that 3-4-5 of pick your poison..

This is the lineup against LHP for the time being.

 

That's beautiful.

[Carlos Zambrano]

That is a deadly 3,4,5 combo.

[E.J.]

That is a deadly 3,4,5 combo.

 

Just imagine if we had a big LH bat to go with that 3,4,5 combo...

 

=P~ =P~ =P~

Is there a 3-5 better in baseball??

[Carlos Zambrano]

Probably not. I think this lineup is only going to be against lefty's though.

[Sarcastic]

3-5 may be good, but I'm not crazy about Theriot leading off. I don't quite know why people think that Soriano batting 5th would make a difference. Studies show that the most productive lineups have players bat in order of OPS, from highest to lowest, so what is wrong with batting one of your best hitters first?

[bhogg]

Is Wandy still terrible?

 

I think I could get a hit off that guy.
