6/12 Braves (Hudson) @ Cubs (Zambrano), 1:20 WGN & WGN720

[pitchcs]

Eric Patterson is not good.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Because Patterson is better than Hoffpauir.

 

At what?

 

Everything involving the game of baseball besides defense at first base.

 

Hmm. The OBPs are closer than I thought, so you are right.

 

It's definitely not that I like Hoffpauir, I just thought Patterson was worse than he is.

[soapy]

Eric Patterson is not good.

please elaborate...

[CubsGM]

Eric Patterson is not good.

please elaborate...

He Sox!

[Flames24Rulz]

Eric Patterson is not good.

 

You're judging this off of 14 Major League at-bats?

his name

[haubrich91]

Is this another gamble by Hendry? :banghead:

 

Also, I say we go for Chipper's quad today.

 

Go Cubs!

there, was that so hard?

[splintersag]

Haha at Len's clothes. I wonder what Bob's wearing...

[VanceJergins]

Last night did anyone else hear Lou say (in reference to Soriano): "He was hitting the ball good and hitting for power. And more importantly he was starting to get his speed back and steal some bases."?

 

That's why Patterson is leading off.

[Keener98]

I have no problem with EPatt, but Id like to see Hoff get his chance since he has in fact hit this year at the major league level(albeit small sample).

He'll have a good deal of chances. He'll definitely be involved in the 6 DH games, and that's half of our next 12 without him getting any OF time.

My reasoning for my linup was to maximize our OBP in the 1-2 spot since we are losing the power out of the 1 spot. Whats EPatts career OBP?

[BleacherBadger]

Anyone have screen shots yet of Len and Bob or the players?

.365, .361 this year. To compare, last year was the first time Hoffpauir had ever been above .360, and he was a 27 year old in AAA.

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah, but his major league OBP is just .143!!!

[erik316wttn]

Sounds like Lou is going to DH Lee starting tomorrow, and will probably DH Ramirez the next game or shortly thereafter.

Ok heres hoping he can put up something like that. I know Hoff is older, but hey the Cards called up an older minor leaguer and hes turned into Pujols the 2nd, I was hoping Hoff could turn into Ludwick ;)

[RammyFanny]

Let's go EPatt!

 

Wasn't he hitting like .320+ in Iowa this year? I like it. I know it's the PCL blah blah blah, but at least he's not in a slump.

[Choonch]

Hopefully he gives Soto a day off as well. I like the idea of rotating the DH to get the regulars a day of pseudo rest while keeping their bats in the lineup.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Several innings of crappy coverage? Lovely. Stupid gimmick.

[Butterscup1679666578]

black and white? come on wgn.

Hey, another person that makes sense.

 

You sure you don't want to criticize him for 14 big league AB's or his last name? It's what everyone else is doing.

[erik316wttn]

black and white? come on wgn.

 

Didn't FOX do something similar to this several years ago?
