That was impressive Hoff, nice at bat.

 

Who wants to bet me Heilman walks someone?

 

23 walks in 35 2/3 innings,6 in his last 4 games

[Fred Hornkohl]

McGehee grounded out to short, 6-3

[Little Slide Rooter]

At least we know why Kosuke keeps his job when hes slumping. Soriano and Bradley, not so much.

 

Yeah its too bad that Soriano has never gunned out a runner at home. Unless you are talking about defense as a whole, then keep talking.

 

Soriano will gun a guy down with his arm, but when it comes to the glove, hes just enough to get by.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Theriot is a tremendous SS.....when he doesn't have to move to his left or right. I don't get how his UZR is so good

[UMFan83]

This offense cannot afford to have Fuld and Soto out of the lineup right now. I don't care about Sori's salary or ego; the Cubs have to do whatever needs to be done to score some runs.

 

Wow, Fuld has played in 2 games, how do you know he's not a .550 OPS major league player that pitchers haven't figured out yet? Tuffy Rhodes hit 3 HRs on Opening Day 1994, how did that work out for him?

Soto has to get his days off.

 

Sam Fuld is Sam Fuld.

[Keener98]

Heilman with 2 outs without a walk? Really?

Of course I don't believe Fuld is the player he's shown so far, but I do know that he's hot right now and Sori has been god awful for over a month. I think I'll take my chances with the guy who is red hot instead of the guy who has done nothing but hit mile high pop ups.

[UMFan83]

Theriot is a tremendous SS.....when he doesn't have to move to his left or right. I don't get how his UZR is so good

 

You forgot that GRIT Factor is 3/4s of how UZR is compiled. Theriot's GRIT factor of 1593.2 is a really big part of that.

[Keener98]

Nice tats Hart

Cameron called out on strikes

How about staying with the hot bat?

[Brian]

here comes that walk

I'm just so sick of the "I'm going to "Vance" Fuld into the All Star game because he's the greatest hitter ever" sentiment.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Wow. Heilman didn't suck

[E.J.]

Wow. What the hell was that? :shock:

[Keener98]

Nice inning Aaron, real nice. NOW GETS SOME DAMN RUNS!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Heilman goes 1-2-3? Next thing you know, Soriano will get a hit.

[UMFan83]

Nice inning Heilman, I'll give credit where credit is due.

 

If the Cubs can get a run here, its 8-9-1 due up for the Brewers in the 9th, and the 1 is Kendall.

Are you saying Lilly should run for President? :)

[Keener98]

I think we should rename nsbb.com, iheartsamfuldbaseball.com

[Brian]

i'd vote for him
