WHOA Fontenot.

[GlassCow]

Mikey flashing the leather. Good God that was a play.

[NotSoSober]

Wow, outside of Soriano's hiccup today, the D has played great the past 2 days

[inari]

What a damn play!!!

[Schwarber Fan]

Len's voice cracking on a defensive play = win.

[CubbieBum]

I love it. Lou has completely ruined Soto's confidence. He strikes out and immediately drops his head and slowly walks back to the dugout.

 

 

That earthquake in Haiti? Piniella's fault.

 

Yep because that is the exact same thing. Soto is sucking no doubt about it and he deserves blame for it but he is not the only one who is at fault. Benching a young, struggling player after just two games blows up his confidence and in many cases causes him to suck more and never get out of it.

If Geo's skin is that thin he wasn't gonna make it anyway.

If Votto gets out here, I wouldn't be opposed to Z putting one in Phillips ribs. Make up for the 3 hit guys last night (if there was any meaning behind them last night even though it was just bad command most likely) and Phillips being a douche on his last homer Edited April 10, 2010 by Cubswin11

Soto sucked for months on end last year before Koyie Hill started getting more than a regular backup's share of the PT, I'm not sure why we're suddenly blaming it on his confidence.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

MOAR DEFENSE PLZ!

[Schwarber Fan]

CONFIDENCE SHOT

Now he can and I hope he does

[Andy]

That being said, for the first time this year...

 

GEOVANY SOTO

[GlassCow]

CB got a call right! And Soto threw out a runner? It's a day for miracles folks.

[Guest]

Awful nice of Votto to give himself up after he took strike 3 for a walk.

[JonJayCutler]

Z getting squeezed.

[Cubswin11]

Damn, come on ump.

[Guest]

Harang is getting that call, Dana.

[bcl412]

MOAR DEFENSE PLZ!

 

Pretty looking defense is probably more of a result of bad range or bad baserunning but it sure is entertaining to watch.

[circlecitycub]

LOL @ Len and Bob mullet watching

 

Somebody needs to post a pic of that.

Gameday had Z hitting 95 twice on that sequence to Phillips.

Why would anyone ever tell Votto to try and steal a base?

Apparently to test out his injured foot.

Who did?

 

I pointed out that he has zero confidence based on his body language. People with no confidence don't tend to come out of slumps.

Don't want to be clogging those bases dude
