04/17 St Louis (Walters) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 1:20,WGNTV,XM183

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Soto is the new Lee.

[erik316wttn]

Dangit, Geo.

 

Any time you want to start hitting now is just fine with me.

 

Lingering shoulder issues that he's keeping quiet, perhaps?

[haubrich91]

Crap.

[weis21]

ugh...at least geo hit well

 

lets have another quick one Z

[McEvans]

we need at least 1 more run here. NO DP SOTO

[rynefan]

I hope when Geo breaks out of this he breaks out big time.

[Flames24Rulz]

What the hell was that Geo? He should've parked the pitch before the DP ball and he barely got a piece of it.

[weis21]

we need at least 1 more run here. NO DP SOTO

MLB.tv?

[UMFan83]

That was well hit, it just happened to barely be in the range of the SS.

 

It won't be long until we stop posting statistics like "1-15" as he's gonna break out of this slump.

[SpongeWorthy]

At least he hit it hard.

His shoulder looked fine gunning out Duncan yesterday

[TruffleShuffle]

this pitcher sucks.

yep......

[Bixby]

I hate to say this but...

 

Rick Wilkins.

It's early, pitchers are ahead of hitters, his timing is off, that is to be expected.

[Bruno7481]

Soto was my biggest candidate for a downturn this year. Having said that, it is way, way too early be talking like that. But, I think he hit a little over his head last year. Doesn't mean he still can't be a top 3 catcher in the NL though.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Rick Wilkins.

 

ouch

Why was he your candidate for a downturn out of curiosity?

[Outshined_One]

Rick Wilkins.

 

ouch

 

If he's still looking like this in May, I'll be worried.

MLB.tv?

 

 

yep......

That's the one thing that sucks. I pretty much have to avoid gamethreads using mlb.tv unless I want to have every play predicted for me.

That's definitely true but that was about a 91 mph straight fastball that was begging to be crushed.

 

Sit down, Luckwick.

[erik316wttn]

Eat it, Ludwick.

[Butterscup1679666578]

does any team hit into more big-inning-ending double plays than the cubs?

 

ps woo hoff i knew you'd be great in the 4 spot today

[Bixby]

Rick Wilkins.

 

ouch

I'm not necessarily saying he's the next Rick Wilkins but it's hard not to think about it.

I guess I'm just stubborn and too much of a disgruntled Cubs fan to fully buy into his huge breakout the past couple of years.

 

I like him, a lot. I just have my doubts he'll be as good as he was last year consistently.
