4/30 Postgame: Cubs OFers get it done

[JonJayCutler]

We have to have the best OPSing outfield in the majors thus far:

 

Fukudome: 1.084

Colvin: .965

Byrd: .950

Soriano .900

colvin's actually .965, but yeah.

 

if ramirez and lee were hitting, our offense would be stacked right now

[JonJayCutler]

Thanks for catching that. Yeah, sadly Ramirez' slump is getting to the point where its going to be tough to achieve his usual statline. Not worried about Lee at all. I just hope Lou is patient enough to wait it out and not do something stupid like give Nady and Tracy a bunch of starts at 1B/3B.

With everything Lou has said. I don't think he's gonna give them/him more than a day off here and there. He essentially said, your 3/4 hitters have to hit, or you aren't going anywhere. So he understands that and by the sound of it, he's not going to bench them because he knows he has to rely on them or the season's not gonna matter anyway.

How long does Soriano have to keep this up before the Wrigley idiots stop booing him? That guy has thick skin.

Soriano has handled Chicago as well as as anyone ever has. He takes his lumps and still goes out with a great demeanor. Interacts with the left field bleachers on the same day he is boo'd back to the bench.

 

I'm sure that going home to a pile of money and naked women helps, but the guy "gets it".

Agreed 100%. He seems to be nothing but a positive in the clubhouse and with fan interaction. I've heard from quite a few people that he is the friendliest Cub to meet in person, which makes what he has to often put up with from the fans that much worse.

You guys are gonna make Dave Kaplan cry.

This is a really good point considering all the crap he has taken. Just a guess, but I don't think the fans were any rougher on Bradley than they were on Soriano. Despite his awful contract he seems like a great guy.

I, for one, am disappointed the Cubs outfield is hitting because now I can't use my "Cubs 0fers" joke.
