Mount Lou erupts

[Soul]

Maybe Lou has run out of answers with this bunch.

Lou I have an idea. Hit and Run. Put players in motion. Still that would require Lou to actually stop waiting for a 3 run hr.

No.

I agree with the capitalization of the first word in each sentence and the proper placement of periods.

When a player are slumping like the 3-6 hitters in the lineup. Forcing the player to swing and try to hit the ball to the opposite field often helps. Most slumps are the result of a player pressing. Putting players in motion help two fold. It takes away the thinking aspect of the at bat. Second it force the defense to be moving around and can create more holes for the hitter.

 

The Cubs have had the leadoff hitter on quite a bit lately and they seem to die on first. Lee,Aram, and Soto are in really bad slumps. I feel the best approach to getting out the slump is by forcing the action. You can see how well it is going for the cubs to hit a three run homer.

Sounds like something Joe Morgan would say.

You can't expect him to actually stop waiting for commas.

Forcing a player to swing can also force him to swing at a pitch he has no business swinging at. It can cause the runner to be thrown out on a steal attempt if the hitter misses the pitch.

 

And again, Lee is not in a bad slump (unless you're just looking at a two-game sample). He's just not hitting for much power lately. He's still hitting for average and getting on base.

And they will get the added benefit of two AB each time they come up as Soriano and Theriot gets thrown out when the hitter swings and misses. It's a win-win.

 

For the love of Len, the best thing to do is for these guys to stop swinging at crap and start swinging at hittable pitches.

 

The logic of the "hit your way out of slump" escapes me completely.

[CubbieBum]

When hitters are struggling you don't put your team in a situation where if the hitter swings and misses you get two outs. It's common sense.

I've had enough strike em out throw em out this season. I'd rather force them to take the 1st pitch every at bat the first time through.

Better yet, DLee on a 2-0 count.

that was more of an eruption

[mhuber92211]

not intended either. Lou was clearly walking away and then the ump followed him and tossed him. With Sinatro, he was walking away and the same ump said something to him too. Ridiculous. He should be suspended like the other one was earlier this year.

I did like Lou asking the homeplate umpire, "What the _____ is wrong with him?"

[Careless]

Hopefully this leads to something like a $5000 fine for sliding into first when there's no possibility of a tag
