4/8 Cubs (Lilly) @ Astros (Moehler) - 7:05 CDT CSN+

[Cubswin11]

Kosuke has actually looked like he had a chance at the plate tonight

 

 

 

 

 

 

even though it was against Brian Moehler/Russ Ortiz

[erik316wttn]

No team but the the Braves and Braves can make an 8-0 lead look so bad.

 

So the Braves, then?

[XZero771679666304]

fukudome won't keep it up

yeah...

 

You sure went out on a limb with that one.

[hotshot13422]

Derrek Lee has been the worst Cubs regular hitter in this early season. Please change that here.

derrek will drive home soriano here

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, he sure called a good AB where he likely would have had another single if the pitcher didn't snag it. That hotshot nailed it.

The fact he managed to stay alive after being down in the count a couple of times is encouraging, regardless of who it was against.

[UMFan83]

Any chance we see Marquis in the Colorodo series?

Hopefully not, you know he will pitch 7 or 8 shutout innings and hit a HR onto Sheffield

 

Marquis is scheduled to pitch on Friday, so if he goes on Regular rest, he will pitch on Wednesday. If they don't skip the 5th starter, he'll probably go on Thursday.

You suck

[Cynosure]

Lee held to only 3 Ks this game.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Seriously guys, this is not a good pitcher,

[UMFan83]

Good time for Bradley's first hit dammit.

that's too intricate. oh well, i failed again with DLee

[TruffleShuffle]

derrek bat looks slooooow

[Mark_R]

At some point, somebody in the media has to grill Lou about Lee in the third slot. He's gotta get moved down in the order.

[chuckywang]

Bradley with a BA of .000 and a OBP of .333.

[tenritsu]

Common Brad!

Well, the fact he wasn't going to get hits in every AB going forward was more of the point. Trust me, I am as big a Kosuke supporter as there is around here.

Someone send up the Bruce signal!

He also doesn't seem to be seeing pitches well at all.

[Guest]

When Lee's HR power turned into 2B power it was a bit depressing...but now not even being able to make contact? Lets hope this is just an early season slump.

Agreed he looked good tonight hopefully he can keep it up, I think a platoon and a little more down time/better matchups will do him well this year

[BCVM22]

Bugger.

[Soul]

Bah.

[UMFan83]

derrek bat looks slooooow

 

He claims in the papers that his age hasn't slowed him down at all. I remain dubious of his statement.

[UMFan83]

0-9.

 

It could be really bad if he is still hitless next Monday. Good thing we have a weekend series on the road, although it is in Milwaukee. I'm pretty confident he'll get a hit at some point this weekend.
