I want me some JJ love..................

Im bringing it back. Fantastic catch yesterday, JJ has been playing well in the second half and best of all, he looks to be having fun once again.

I dont think bringing it back after him forgetting to bring his bat this weekend is such a good idea. His numbers the last 10 days have basically fallen back to below average. Lets hope its just a bump, but it probably hasnt helped facing lefties. We really need Monroe to start hitting lefties and let him start in CF and Murton in RF against all lefties.

 

And the catch was nice, but for the love of God, would he and Soriano freaking talk for once! They are going to kill each other.

Jacque has been a whole lot more productive since the All Star break......

I know he has slipped back a little in the last week+, but does anyone know how many at bats he has gotten against lefties in the last 10 days. It seems like he has gotten several starts and at bats against lefties in that time period.

I dont know but looking back through the game log, he has only had 1 day off that wasnt a team day off since Aug 1. I wonder if hes a little gassed right now. I really hope Lou will play Monroe in CF against lefties from here on out.

Yea I saw that, and after this hot streak he has been going through I bet he is due to come back down to earth. He has seemed to be a streaky player throughout his time with the Cubs, so I guess we shouldn't expect the output he has given thusfar in the second half to continue.

 

Your right too, I'd much rather see an outfield of Soriano, Monroe, and Murton against lefties than putting Floyd or Jones out there.

[RegulusBlue]

I dislike Jones more than any player on this team.

 

We are a far better team without him, letting Pie easily match his offense and far exceed his defense.

 

We watch the Tulowitzki's and Ryan Brauns of the world have great years, and we banish our #1 prospect to the bench forever.

 

Jones is a fraud of a MLB OF and a joke at the plate. There is very little to like about him on his own account, and even less if you consider that we have a much better option on the bench.

 

I'm sure your sample size-independent lovefest is fun, but the truth is that Jones has hurt this team from day one, and he's not done yet.

 

I'll admit that much of this abortion is Lou's fault, leaving him in to face lefties (why on earth), but Jones is his own bad player. When you combine never taking walks, hitting for no power, having no arm, and getting thrown out on the basepaths, you have a terrible player, and that is what JJ is. He is not good at baseball.

 

I am continually disappointed by the sudden love and adoration for a man that has destroyed so much of our offense over the last two years. He is garbage, and he should be booed until he is traded or non-tendered. Every start he gets is a leap in the wrong direction for this team, and every three pitch strikeout or horrid throw is a reminder of that.

This reminds me of the cliche about a player "who doesn't get cheated up there at the plate".

stuff.

 

Wow.

[soccer10k]

Care to tell us how you really feel RegulusBlue?

[Derwood]

i don't know where we would have gotten those FIVE home runs from if he weren't in the lineup
