As I have said all along, this is why Theriot should be leading off and Soriano should get off his prima donna attitude and bat 5th.

Bad pickoff throws?

 

Leadoff single?

I prefer leadoff homers.

 

I prefer 6/14 in leadoff spot.

I prefer .500 OBP over .336 OBP in the leadoff spot.

I prefer someone who can take walks over someone who strikes out 3x more.

I prefer people who know what they're talking about over people who don't.

Ever heard of a sample size?

Yeah I would much rather have had Jason Kendall than Sosa in the early 00's you know cause Kendall never K'd

Eat a bag.

Caroll flied out to left center field

Ever heard of learn baseball?

 

18 HR good for him.

 

Theriot: 353 AB - 34 SO - 36 BB - .352 OBP

Soriano: 444 AB - 95 SO 0 24 BB - .336 OBP

 

Now who should eat a bag?

 

Soriano should bat 5th, learn baseball, take notes from your terrible t-ball team then come back to post.

The fact is we paid him all that money to leadoff. He is going to leadoff. Soriano in two years will still be hitting leadoff. Theriot might, might still be in baseball. Might.

This is the second time in two days you've been blatantly insulting users. Stop it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 26-12 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 33-43 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Cynosure]

Because Soriano has a terrible attitude and gets all emo when he doesn't bat leadoff even though it's not the best for the team.

I was insulted first, get off my back and go cry to a mod.

That maybe, but it doesn't change the fact that in two years Theriot will be serving us french fries.

[inari]

Can we just hold this lead for one inning? One lousy inning? Please?

[B]

nice play by fontenot

[Iceblink]

Thank you, Holliday. Nice play, Fontenot.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Holliday popped out (foul) to second base

Hey I'd be down for that as long as he adds some extra salt ;)

No you insulted me first with your learn baseball stuff. Either way I don't care, I can handle it.

what a heck of a play there by fontenot.

Actually, the Cubs paid Soriano all that money to be a productive hitter, regardless of where he hits. Based on the type of hitter he is, he is best suited to be a #5 type hitter, whereas Theriot's skillset (solid OBP and not much power) make more sense in the leadoff spot.

 

Question: would you rather have a solo homer or a 2 or 3 run homer? Now, where should Soriano and Theriot hit?

They're both at fault in this case.

[Cynosure]

Yea me either illini, really doesn't bother me, it's part of the debate. But we had our wannabe mod interfere.

[Guancous]

Fontenot sure helped his zone rating with that play.

 

 

If someone is bothering you, ignore them. It worked for you in 2nd grade.

[Cynosure]

Mul, exactly... for 136mil you can't be a primadonna hit where you are needed.

[questionmarkgrace]

unbelievable catch good jOb Fontenot, web gem for sure
