Who's Due Up??

[Fast Freddie Bynum]

So the other day the Cubs were losing to the White Sox and I saw our line-up that was due to bat in an inning and thought that trio isn't producing a run. So I decided to look up what group does score most often. I will note that I realize this is flawed because sometimes it's the 4,5,6 hitter who determine who scores or that one homer will give the who group credit. Oh Well. Here are my results:

 

These trios got 1 chance so far this year and did not produce a run:

Stewart-Baker-Byrd, Baker-Byrd-Soto, DeWitt-DeJesus-Barney, Johnson-Stewart-Baker, Byrd-Barney-Garza, Mather-Castro-Soriano, Barney-LaHair-Johnson, Soriano-Baker-Soto, Byrd-Clevenger-Samardzija, Byrd-Barney-DeJesus, Stewart-Castro-DeWitt, Garza-DeJesus-Barney, Byrd-Samardzija-DeJesus, Stewart-Baker-Soto, Soriano-Stewart-Baker, Stewart-LaHair-Clevenger, Castro-Mather-Stewart, LaHair-Clevenger-Johnson, Soto-Byrd-Dempster, LaHair-Soto-Clevenger, Byrd-Dewitt-Dejesus, Mather-DeJesus-Barney, Soto-Byrd-Maholm, Mather-Soto-Byrd, Castro-Baker-Stewart, Johnson-Castillo-Bowden, Stweart-Mather-Soto, LaHair-Byrd-Dempster, Soriano-Baker-Stewart- Byrd-Garza-Johnson, Mather-johnson-Barney, DeWitt-Soriano-Baker, Stewart-Clevenger-DeWitt, Matherr-Maholm-DeJesus, Johnson-Mather-Campana, Wells-DeJesus-Campana, Wells-DeJesus-Barney, Hill-Wells-DeJesus, Mather-Garza-DeJesus, Castro-Soriano-Baker, Soto-Johnson-Mather, Mather-Campana-DeJesus, Barney-Soto-DeWitt, Soriano-Stewart-Clevenger, Volstad-DeJesus-Campana, Clevenger-Barney-Dewitt, Soto-Maholm-DeJesus, Stewart-Johnson-Castillo, Garza-Campana-Barney, Casrto-LaHair-Baker, Mather-Castillo-Barney, Mather-Castillo-DeJesus, DeWitt-Soto-Volstad, Stewart-DeWitt-Soto, Soto-Barney-DeJesus, Barney-Soto-Johnson, Stewart-Johnson-Soto, Johnson-soto-Mather, Barney-Soto-Volstad, Soto-Campana-DeJesus, DeWitt-DeJesus-Mather, Stewart-Johnson-Barney, Soto-Cardenas-Johnson, Barney-Coleman-DeJesus, Soto-Cardenas-Barney, Johnson-Baker-Castro, Garza-Johnson-Baker, Soriano-Mather-Castillo, Barney-Garza-Johnson, Soriano-Castillo-Campana, Johnson-DeJesus-Castro, Stewart-Soto-Barneym Soto-Barney-Samardzija, Soto-Barney-Dempster, Barney-Baker-DeJesus, Barney-Cardenas-DeJesus, Stewart-Lalli-Barney, Mather-Hill-Dempster, Mather-Hill-Cardenas, Campana-Johnson-Barney, Barney-Hill-Mather, Garza-DeJesus-Campana, Castro-lalli-Mather, Lalli-Wood-DeJesus, Wood-DeJesus-Johnson, Castro-Soriano-Mather, Barney-Lalli-LaHair, Johnson-Castro-Soriano, Mather-Cardenas-Barney, Campana-DeJesus-Johnson, Hill-LaHair-DeJesus, K.Wood-Castillo-Barney

 

That's 78 different combos that only got one chance and didn't get a run!

 

Here are trios that went 0-2

Dempster-DeJesus-Barney, Lahair-Byrd-Clevenger, Byrd-Dempster-DeJesus, Byrd-Mather-DeJesus, Baker-Soto-Byrd, Johnson-DeJesus-Barney, Stewart-Soto-DeWitt, Baker-Soto-Johnson, Barney-Volstad-DeJesus, Soriano-Stewart-Johnson, Soto-Samardzija-DeJesus, DeJesus-Mather-Castro, Mather-Castro-LaHair, Cardenas-Dempster-DeJesus, LaHair-Stewart-Soto, Cardenas-Barney-Maholm, Barney-Maholm-DeJesus, Barney-Garza-DeJesus, Hill-Maholm-DeJesus, Samardzija-DeJesus-Johnson

How the hell did you get this information together?

[Bull]

Conclusion #1: Barney over campana in the two spot?

[UMFan83]

Edit: I will say it was somewhat interesting data to read although I don't know what conclusions you can draw for it.

I went through the play by plays of the games. I hurt my foot this past week and had some bed rest.

 

I know there is much that can be drawn from it because there is a lot of variables. Like one homer can give credit to the whole group or the 3 guy can get on and the 4, 5, and 6 hitter could be the guys doing the work. Also the 4, 5, 6 guys could leave runners straded after the first 3 set the table properly.

 

But like someone said earlier Barney over Campana?

 

I was so surprised. I thought DeJesus-Campana-Castro was doing way better than it showed. It's crazy that DeJesus-Campana-Castro did so well especially when LaHair was batting 5th or 6th a little bit during Barney's run at the 2, while Campana has LaHair at the 4 spot. LaHair being pitched artound and Soriano and Stewart failing could be one answer.

 

It took some time to put together so i didn't get detailed. I will say i was surprised by how many trios only came up once. It was crazy, but it makes sense since we haven't had a consistent set of 9 for our lineup.
