Hey, guess what? Soto leads all catchers in strikeouts!!! 106 k's!!!

 

ps. How long until I am found murdered in my house by angry North Side Baseballers?

45 minutes.

 

It's been twenty minutes, still breathing.

Stat of the day, the Cubs are 82-0 when Geovany Soto wants to win, 0-50 when he wants to give the other teams a chance.

[Ski]

mmmmm, Geovany Soto.

I can't believe it's not Geovany Soto!

[Derwood]

Soto was more walks than K's in August

[David]

My first post is pretty ironic, given that Geo seems to have gained a good amount of weight. I remembered him looking real lean in ST 07.

Haven't done this yet, so I have too...

When was the last time the Cubs had a catcher this good? I think it is safe to say that Soto will eclipse Barrett's best season with the club by a mile (.287/.337/.489, 16 HR, 65 RBI in 2004).

 

Best season for a Cubs catcher ever was Gabby Hartnett in 1930 when he went .339/.404/.630, 37 HR, 122 RBI. I think it's unlikely that Soto will do anything like that, but Soto already might be the best catcher the Cubs have had since Hartnett.

 

 

Wow, I didnt realize a Cubs catcher ever put up a line like that. Yeah, you always hear Hartnett's name in discussions of Cubs greats, but I always assumed that it was in relative terms to the stats of the day. .630 SLG?!?! In 1930!?!? Yeesh. :shock:

 

That wasn't even the best season on the team as that was also the year Wilson Hacked his way to 191 RBI.

The 1930 Cubs scored 998 runs, hitting .309/.374/.481 as a team.

This kinda makes you wonder how crazy we would be going if we were getting .356/.454/.723 :shock: production out of CF right now...

Soto didn't want to hog all the games, so he gave Blanco a few starts so he wouldn't feel bad.

If things get tight in September, they should go with Kendall's veteran presence.
