Hill to replace Soto

[cubstitlelives]

Per CSN. I'm sure will see confirmation soon. Geo had better use this off season to get in shape and stay away from the ganja. I can't say the move bothers me but it's sad to see how far Geo has fallen.

[17 Seconds]

yeah i'm sure it was the weed that did it.

 

and this is such a [expletive] move

[inari]

As in Soto is hurt? Or as in, Lou is making Hill the starter? The latter sure would be stupid.

 

And I hope Soto keeps smoking weed because weed is awesome.

[cubstitlelives]

yeah i'm sure it was the weed that did it.

 

and this is such a [expletive] move

 

You don't like the move? What are you seeing in Geo this year that warrants him getting the bulk of the playing time?

a) hes been better than hill

 

b) he actually has a future and should benefit from getting ABs

[Magnetic Curses]

maybe he thinks hill is a worse option, which he is?

[cubstitlelives]

Nothing at all. There's no question Geo is a better long term answer. However, for this year, I think many of us have seen enough.

blood, sweat, and tears and he says his prayers and takes his vitamins.

so you've seen enough of soto but not enough of hill, even though hill has been worse?

That's not saying much when you're hitting .212. He needs a break.

It's saying that he's better than the guy you want starting

 

And he's about to get a 5 month break

 

I don't see a single positive thing about Hill starting over Soto.

[Butterscup1679666578]

this guy is officially the worst poster ever. go away.

When you compare the numbers on the offensive side, you'll be shocked how they stack up in comparison to games played. And I never said I WANT him starting, I said Geo has had plenty of time to get out of this funk and he hasn't. He needs to sit on the pine, which Lou said He'll do.

What games have you been watching this year? Lou benched him, not me.

you know they make rate stats, right? they really work and are far more useful than counting stats

 

i feel like we've been over this

yes, sitting on the pine will fix everything. that's what he needs. now that he's at an all time low on the season, let's bench him so he can't turn it around for the rest of the year. that way we can assure his confidence is at an all time low heading into the offseason.

 

seems like a smart move

[cubstitlelives]

Hill has a higher batting avg and obp than Soto. He has only 65 fewer at bats than Soto as well. Again, Hill is NOT THE ANSWER but Soto has sucked all year.

[RedFlash]

This is a wake up call from the Cubs manageent to Soto. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yea, it's not like he hasn't had ample opportunity to turn it around. Seems like a smart move to keep sending him out there to go 0-4 with 2 k's and GIDP every game..

how many times do people need to explain to you that soto has been better? not to mention that he has shown in the past that he can be good. hill has shown for his career that he also will suck.

 

anyways, it doesn't even matter. soto should be starting anyways so he can hopefully get it going a little in the final month so maybe he doesn't feel completely horrible about himself going into the postseason.

 

there is no reason to start hill or soto. none. all you've been able to comeu p with is that soto needs a break. he'll get a break in a month when the season ends.

[rocket]

the season is over, what's the point of benching soto if he's not injured?

so you want to send out a guy who has been a little worse

Exactly. However, god forbid a fan favorite get benched for crappy play. My goodness.

it would be fine to bench him if

 

a) the season still meant something

 

b) there was a better option to take his place

 

neither of those are true
