Houston is up 15 -5 on Colorado. :shock:

See I remember people commenting on how amazingly slow Edmonds' bat was when we first signed him and he struggled, but then he ended up hitting 20 HRs for us and had a pretty good offensive season. Lee is 33 and while he is old enough to be declining, I don't feel like he's at all old enough to be completely washed up. I would be willing to bet at some point this year he'll have a halfway decent stretch of ball.

 

It's certainly possible. Part of his problem may be his back, but I think his approach has changed as well. I am convinced his problem is a result of his trying to pull everything, which itself may be because he doesn't feel like he can wait back on pitches (b/c of his reduced bat speed), so he tries to cheat on the FB.

 

Whatever the cause, it seems his numbers started suffering when he stopped going the other way as much.

 

 

At the very least, I think Hoff should play until Derrek's back is 100%.

 

Yea thats where my frustration is with Lee right now. He knows hes not 100%, and he knows hes got someone capable of producing pretty good numbers, so do whats best for the team and go on the DL, and get healed up. I honestly think Lee is worried if he goes on the DL Hoff will produce so well, that Lou has no choice but to keep playing him. Just my opinion, but its how I feel.

Off topic here, but I flipped to Baseball Tonight during the commercial break, and apparently an Adam LaRoche HR was video reversed against the Cardinals. First time ever.

[Keener98]

Woo yup Peoria rained out, so Im going to the DH tomorrow.

 

 

Wow Lee just wow

I'm not sure, but someone might have mentioned that a HR was reversed in the MIL/FLA game as well.

[thefranchise]

What happend? My directv went out when kosuke hit the infield single.

Ross Gload had one reversed tonight too

[CyHawk_Cub]

I keep reminding myself of the good things DLee has done while a Cub... I really don't want to start disliking him; I just think it's obvious Hoff needs to be in the lineup more

[XZero771679666304]

Wow Lee just wow

 

Lou has to get Hoff in there. Derrek's not helping the team or himself at this point.

[Tryptamine]

Lou it's time to let the ego go and just play Micah. There's no reason to have Lee out there unless he's 100%; the guy is barely even putting the bat on the ball.

[Sammys Boombox]

With these conditions against this team the Cubs should have more runs tonight.

[Tryptamine]

Umps need to stop this; the way things have gone for the Cubs I can see something bad happening to Marmol.

[Careless]

Wow, headley's hands were 14" directly above the pich that he swung at on strike one

Yup Lee needs to be the supposed "great team guy" thats hes known to be, and tell Lou hes not healthy and needs to go on the DL. Wont happen though

You expect a group of MLB umpires to make a correct decision?

[Careless]

Lee grounded what would have been an insanely easy double play ball to the 2nd baseman, end of inning

[Tryptamine]

haha nice shot at Berkman.

[TruffleShuffle]

good job marmol, keep walking bad hitters.

[UMFan83]

C'mon Marmol, just one more out.

 

One of these days, Marmol's control is going to kill us in an important spot.

[Tryptamine]

Suddenly I am starting to worry about this game again.

[UMFan83]

Gah, pretty poor inning by Marmol, 1 IP 2 H 2 BB 1 ER 0 K

[thefranchise]

Nice decison by Freel

[Keener98]

Smart play by the Cubs wow! Marmol just wanted AG to lead off next inning for Gregg dont worry guys.

[Cynosure]

Cubs win!

[erik316wttn]

Seriously? Just call it.
