4/7 GT Cubs(Dempster) vs. Braves(Jurjens) 6:10 CST CSN+

[Wilson A2000]

The Cubs have to be one of the most fundamentally challenged baseball teams I have seen. This has been going on for years. How many teams have success and pull the crap that Fontenot, Ramirez, Theriot, and Soriano pull on a weekly basis?

 

how did ramirez get thrown into that equation?

 

In my book, and no one else agrees, but I don't like how he lopes at times.

He doesn't hustle.

didn't you see the boneheaded out he made on monday getting doubled off at first

[erik316wttn]

See what good defense can do?

[UMFan83]

I usually get really bored once the Cubs get past Soriano in the lineup. Fontenot, Soto, Pitcher, and Theriot it's impossible to expect almost anything from them.

[imb]

Nice hit, Demp.

 

Soto got some good wood on it.

 

Too bad Riot will be at least out #2 though.

 

wrong. outs 2 AND 3

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Theriot. Stop hitting sharp balls to middle infielders, plz.

To be fair Soto and Riot did make good contact.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Can we please just call up Castro. to hell with his arb clock. Im sick of this twatwaffle.

[CUBZ99]

So now that Castro is in the minors, Theriot goes back to sucking? :banghead:

[UMFan83]

Very true. Defense is like the new OBP, which doesn't mean the Cubs have to follow it blindly. But the Cubs look like they've payed almost no attention to defense while constructing this team.

[David]

since when do people think that good defense doesn't matter?

[Schwarber Fan]

Can't the Cubs EVER change?

 

God...

I'm not saying right now, I'm just saying in general. Hopefully Soto can heat up but I don't expect a ton from Fontenot and even Theriot.

[CubbieBum]

Nice hit, Demp.

 

Soto got some good wood on it.

He was right. He said at least out #2 and Theriot was indeed that. He was just out #3 in addition to it.

[Wilson A2000]

If Jason Heyward doesn't turn out to be a [expletive] stud I'm going to be annoyed with this performance.

 

as a 19-year old in AA, he walked 28 times in 162 at bats and only Kd 19 times. His OPS was 1057

 

there's no chance he isnt a blanking stud

 

 

yup... people are acting like we're being victor diaz or jeff blausered here.

Lol, yea. He sure looks like he can get around on anything. At least from what little I've seen.

 

For a guy who is going to hit a lot of homeruns, I like that he really keeps his weight back and has a small step with his right foot as the ball is coming. He doesn't seem to guess as much as other power hitters. That allows him to decide if he wants to swing a fraction of a second longer and coax more walks out.

He has his shortcomings, but the fact is, if we lose him, its time to start scouting for our top 5 pick in the 2011 draft.

[Roast]

So Justin.tv is a no-go. Any other suggestions?

[UMFan83]

Can't the Cubs EVER change?

 

God...

 

Yeah they should stop hitting into double plays like the rest of the teams in the MLB decided to do.

Were you one of the reporters interviewing Ortiz yesterday?

[Outshined_One]

I held my breath when he threw that.

[Careless]

NOT SUre why he threw that

[UMFan83]

No raaaangeeeee. Not sure if they would have gotten him anyways but still.

unfortunately it looks like they've paid very little attention to offense or pitching either.
