Len just said that Soto has no XBH in the last 20 games. Some intern is getting an F

Thank you Fred. I prefer Geo over Hill but the idea that he's been playing well is false. His average has dropped dramatically from the .350's and he's had almost no plate discipline lately.

 

Who said Soto was hitting well? At least we know he has the chance to hit well, with Hill we know hes not going to do a damn thing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 7-3 when they hit at least one triple.... 17-25 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Aramis has a chance to hit well and I'm tired of seeing him too. At this point, I see no problem with sitting anyone (for a game or longer) if he hasn't been producing over an extended period. Like I said, I prefer Geo to Koyie longterm but Geo has done very little recently.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 19-8 when they score first in the game.... 5-20 when they don't

 

 

:yahoo:

 

Go CUBS !!

[Irrelevant Dude]

How is Nady's arm coming along? Can he play 3B?

[ctcf]

I had a feeling Nady was gonna go yard for some reason.

[illiniguy]

Really wish the Cajun midgets would take a pitch to allow us to steal off of Doumit.

And Hill has done nothing for a long time. Give me the guy whos done very little recently over the guy whos never done anything.

Lou probably has the stop sign up, he only likes to run against guys like Molina this past weekend.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lilly has been really effective over his last 4 starts.....

OK, I'm listening on the radio. Does Byrd make that catch ???

[Careless]

He seriously didn't cross in time on an almost-triple? That was all on him jopgging home. Edited June 2, 2010 by Careless

I'm not clamoring for Hill. The guy irritates me but when Geo gets pull happy and starts grounding out repeatedly to SS, and or striking out a ton, I can't stand it.

[Careless]

He got his glove within 6" or so of catching it, so it's certainly possible.

 

actually, more than 6", but still pretty close

[Sammys Boombox]

Stupidity all around on that play. Colvin never should have dove. Karstens was not hustling. Milledge shouldn't have made the last out at third with 2 outs and the pitcher trying to score from first. Wow, thought I had to include Timmy the ump on the stupidity wagon. Soriano is the only bright one on the play. Irony? Yes.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 22-21 when they draw 2 or more walks.... 2-7 when they don't

CUBS have drawn at least 2 BBs in 35 of their last 41 games

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 8-10 when they execute a sac bunt.... 16-18 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

That's the first HR given up by Lilly in his last 4 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[SouthSideRyan]

Sammy Sosa - 20

[Fred Hornkohl]

Why is Nady hitting 3rd ??

[rawaction]

Somebody earned an everyday spot in the lineup for Lou who can only remember like 2 days.
