paul bako is awesome. you got a guy on the mound who can't throw strikes and he swings at the first pitch.

[cubbyvirus00]

Amazing that Corey still hasen't learned the strikezone after all these years.....what a horrible baseball player.

[UMFan83]

I'm hoping this has nothing to do with his wrist. If you watch him through the hitting zone he is trying to lift the ball and keeps rolling over on it. How in the blue hell do you not make an adjustment after 24 double plays??

 

 

His wrist was fine in the first month...

 

Then it's just totally unacceptable that he can't make an adjustment. I just don't understand how you don't try something different. The only thing he looks like he's trying is to be less open in his stance.....surely that was what gave him the biggest success in the first place? i cringe even watching his cuts in the on deck circle something isn't right.......

 

I'm sure that he's tried to make adjustments, subtle or not. From all accounts, Derrek is an extremely hard working player. It's possible the ability is just not there anymore. I mean to be honest, an .825 OPS isn't completely off his career numbers not including his 1 year spike in 2005 and his above average (weighted by his OBP) 2007.

the one thing i have noticed with lee is that he stopped doing the head check ala coco that he was doing when he was raking earlier this season

 

i don't know why he stopped doing it because it was working

 

If you watch close when he's taking some cuts he looks like most when they first grab a golf club in front of the pro.....very uncomfortable!!!

The ground balls are a bit alarming. It seems like he's unable to put the ball in the air.

DeRo!

[PrimeTime]

Looks like Jimmy Ballgame ran out of juice

[UMFan83]

Edmonds .091 .333 .273 .606 over his last 9 games.

[David]

DeRo is a baseball Michael Phelps right now

[bcl412]

DeRo is so much better than DLee right now.

[rocket]

That was purty.

 

Jimmy Ballgame's magic wearing off? I think he's something like 2 for his last 25 or thereabouts.

[98navigator]

DeRo!

[Sammy Sofa]

Whoa.

 

Fuku-pissed.

[UMFan83]

Cubs Home Run Leaders

 

Soriano - 22

Ramirez - 20

Soto - 18

Lee - 17

Edmonds - 16

DeRosa - 15

[gflore34]

Has Lou tried a hit and run with Lee yet? Or is he waiting until Lee sets the GIDP record to do so? With Soriano and Theriot on a hit and run is so far fetched.

[Guest]

Gameday is slow, but great to see the DeRosa HR!

 

Another 1 run inning for UMF. :)
