07/20 Cubs (Dempster) @ Astros (Backe) 1:05 CT WGN-TV

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Lee is what he is. Pretty good fielder, singles/double hitter and DP/K machine.

 

That's pretty harsh. He's got a .500 SLG this year..

 

He hasn't homered in over 3 weeks. :shock:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Erstad struck out swinging

[TMan92]

Lee is what he is. Pretty good fielder, singles/double hitter and DP/K machine.

 

He missed hitting a HR by two feet today. And he has done it like 6 times in the last couple weeks of games.

[CubsNSkers07]

We'll he's still on pace to go for about 25 homers this season which is only 8 off of that 3 year span average.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Berkman struck out swinging

[Magnetic Curses]

dlee has just been streaky.

 

nice k, demps.

[Balsa]

Way to go Demp, he's back in the groove.

[Fred Hornkohl]

C Lee blooped a single to shallow center field

[Little Slide Rooter]

With all the big name Cub Killers out there, its comforting that theres a top of the line player that we can own like we have Berkman this season.

Go Dempster Go.

[TMan92]

This Garcia guy is turning into Ankiel..Two wild pitches in the inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 49-2 when they lead at the end of 6 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[CubsNSkers07]

Also D Lee hasn't been a consistent guy to hit into DP's it just started this year. Last year he had 15 GIDP's while this year he has 19 GIDP's.

 

11 times before that, 12 times before that, 14 times before that. So he obviously isn't doing so hot this year but he isn't really a GIDP machine. Strikes out every 4.3 at bats in his career, close to a k per 5 at bats last season.

 

and one K per 5.8 at bats this season, so he is doing better in the strike out category this year as opposed to his career.

[CubsNSkers07]

Padres take the lead 3-1!

I think it may be time for a Soto Bomb.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

3-1 Padres. Two run homer for Baek.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto grounded out to third, 5-3

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

I think it may be time for a Soto Bomb.

 

So much for that prediction

[CubsNSkers07]

haha and it was a 2 run homer from the pitcher Cha Seung Baek, he is taking hitting lessons from Ankiel.

That may have been the slowest home run trot ever.

[TMan92]

3-1 Padres. Two run homer for Baek.

 

The Cardinals lose? That's unpossible.
