6/5 - CUBBIES (Demp) @ Dodgies (Bill) 9:10 p.m CSN+/WGNradio

[Little Slide Rooter]

And Corey Soto gos down on 3 pitches. Shocker.

[E.J.]

Geo needs to recognize the slider. He's always swinging and missing at the slider low and away.

[UMFan83]

Oh man....is this the real Soto? Or was April the real Soto?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Intentionally walking a batter early in the game to get to Soto isn't going to be a common occurrence this season.

 

If he keeps ineptly flailing at everything he sees, it might.

The Soto Train has derailed.

[hotshot13422]

Soto strikes out in three pitches (55) on a curveball

 

Inning over. Bases left loaded

 

56 pitches for Chad through 3

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Soto really needs to start hitting the ball to RF. He literally is trying to hit a HR on every swing it seems.

[splintersag]

Wow, what's happened to Soto.

[Jon]

That first pitch fastball is about as appetizing a pitch as they'll see today. Unfortunately, neither Lee nor Soto could catch up to it.

[Hall7810]

This strikezone changes pitch by pitch.

Hu strikes out swinging, one down

 

65th k of the year for dempster

Billingsley grounds out to Dempster, two out Edited June 6, 2008 by hotshot13422

Nothing like hearing "Who Let the Dogs out?" blaring from the enormous speakers at Dodgers' stadium. :roll:

[CubColtPacer]

Oh man....is this the real Soto? Or was April the real Soto?

 

Some of both. He's probably an .800-.850 OPS type of player who will feast on fastballs and hanging breaking balls and also walk a good amount. On the other side, breaking balls will hurt him, and he'll strike out a good amount of the time.

 

I think we got spoiled by the Soto we saw in September and April, but Soto will still end up being a quality major league ballplayer. I don't think anyone expected him even a month ago to remain the best hitter on the team all year long.

Juan Pierre grounds out to short

 

Inning over, no one stranded

 

37 pitches for Dempster through 3

[Butterscup1679666578]

Great job Dempster.

[Careless]

I hope Pierre donates some DNA to aid our studies in microencephalopathy

hyperactive child syndrome?

Jim Edmonds strikes out swinging (5), one down

[E.J.]

DERO!!!!

[haubrich91]

DeRo!

 

We need more than solo home runs though.

[splintersag]

DeRosa bomb?

 

!!

[Hall7810]

DeRo!

 

We need more than solo home runs though.

 

That ball carried better than I thought.

[salukifudd]

DeRo releasing the heat.
