Well, that was ignorance at its finest that turns into some pure luck. wow. Oh by the way can we stop acting like Reed Johnson isnt terrible? Lefty, Righty, it doesnt matter hes terrible.

 

.305 .371 .452 .823

 

You won't take that as a lefty-masher line from half of a CF platoon?

Id like to know where you are getting those numbers from because they arent Reed Johnsons against a lefty.

 

.255 .375 .298!!!! for a .673 OPS is his numbers on the year. His OPS against a lefty is barely better than his OPS against a righty.

 

EDIT: Ok those are his career numbers nevermind. Well hes nowere close to performing to those numbers in a Cubs uniform.

 

Here's what I've got........

 

Johnson            AB    R    H   2b   3b   HR  RBI   BB   SO     BA    OBP    SLG    OPS  BABIP  P/PA   RBI%
vs Left            46   11   12    2    0    0    5    5    8  0.261  0.382  0.304  0.686  0.316  3.98  0.227
vs Right           82   10   21    4    0    1   13    4   13  0.256  0.315  0.341  0.657  0.294  4.14  0.235

All pitchers      128   21   33    6    0    1   18    9   21  0.258  0.340  0.328  0.668  0.302  4.08  0.233

LOL, I love it.

 

The Cubs lead due to 2 sacrifice fly's and a blooper into shallow center.

 

Hey, that's fine be me as long as we win the game, I don't care how we get the runs. Let's keep the fireworks for Houston.

[Keener98]

Yea I edited my post acknowledging the career numbers. Well I hope he starts turning it on, because as a Cub, hes been pretty bad.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano popped out to second base

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee walked

[splintersag]

Wow this has been somewhat of a pitcher's duel.

[Keener98]

Not sure where the difference in numbers is Fred, because everything you have is the same as Yahoo, execpt you have Reed scoring 1 more run against a lefty than yahoo does. Other than that everything is the same except the avg slug obp ops are different, weird.

[Jon]

That was not a good decision by Cedeno. He's seeing the ball well and you've got a pitcher on the mound who is walking a lot of guys.

 

Of course, a successful bunt for a hit would have endeared him to Piniella.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 13-6 when they take 5 BBs or more.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez walked , D Lee to second

[Careless]

Neither team should be swinging at anything

[splintersag]

LOL, Bob. About HR competitions between teammates: "Of course, for entertainment purposes only, no wagering aloud"

I am probably making excuses, but it might have something to do with the league switch. Or just sample size.

[Keener98]

Good job Fuku woo

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fukudome singled to left field , D Lee scored, Ramirez to second

[Laura]

yay!

[splintersag]

Nice, Fukudome gets a RBI.

[UMFan83]

That was not a good decision by Cedeno. He's seeing the ball well and you've got a pitcher on the mound who is walking a lot of guys.

Of course, a successful bunt for a hit would have endeared him to Piniella.

 

Which is the goal. Once he solidifys himself in the starting lineup with double steals, bunting for hits and excessive scrappiness, he can get back to working the count and putting solid wood on a majority of the pitches he swings at.

[chuckywang]

Fukudome's bat flip defies physics. His hands are coming forward when he lets go of his bat, but the bat flies backwards. WTF.

[mul21]

PC on Dumatrait?

[Jon]

Soto has struggled to time those outside pitches today.

[UMFan83]

PC on Dumatrait?

 

I believe 103 pitches.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto walked , Ramirez to third, Fukudome to second

[UMFan83]

7 BB now.
