    Gee, what do you know?

    God help me, I still love the ninja thing...

    Coming into today he had a LD% of 20.6% (the highest of his career). He also had a nice .200 BABIP, when, with neutral luck, you'd expect that BABIP to be somewhere around .325 It's just been bad luck.

    Oh darn, you mean I don't get to watch him K 3 times today? Nope. Instead you get to watch Reed Johnson put the lightly put the ball in play over and over again... maybe going 1-4 (a single, of course, as Johnson has no power) in the process.

    Just a quick back of the napkin calculation here... Dunn to LF, Sori to RF, Fukudome to CF... LF is gonna cost us probably 10 runs. (From Sori to Dunn) RF is gonna cost us probably 5 runs. (From Fukudome to Sori) CF is gonna cost us probably 15 runs. (From Pie to Fukudome) I feel I'm generally being conservative with those estimates... and that leaves us to the point where Dunn would have to create an extra 30 runs with the bat, and probably another 5 to account for the difference in their baserunning prowess. Could Dunn do it? I'd say that he probably could. Is it worth giving up the talent to find out? Probably not... not unless we're pretty damn sure he's gonna be necessary to let us have a chance to squeak into the playoffs. I'd be plenty happy if Lou would just stop wasting our time with Johnson in CF versus righties.

    Soriano went 2/5 yesterday while getting robbed on a line drive that should have made him 3/5... and we sit him today. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
  7. Rob
    please stop I'd recommend putting him on ignore. If everybody else does it, I wont have to see his posts at all since nobody will be quoting him.
  8. Rob
    Are you even watching the game? He can't be. Nobody could be so stupid as to rip on Sori for hitting the ball that hard.
  9. Rob
    Thank you, Dusty.
  10. Rob
    Well, we all knew Pie would be starting today. Harang is exactly the sort of extremely good right-handed pitcher that Lou likes to play him against. The pleasant surprise is seeing Cedeno in the lineup, even if it is at the expense of the wrong middle infielder. (Though I wont argue that DeRosa could probably use a day off)
  11. Rob
    Cedeno is working out in CF again, apparently.
  12. Rob
    I traded him before this start in a package deal for ARod. :yahoo:
  13. Rob
    Yes I do. Do YOU remember when Mike Schmidt hit .196 as a rookie? The Phillies obviously should have released that worthless bum. You just compared Ronny Cedeno to Mike Schmidt........................................../quote]Yes, to point out the absurdity of basing playing time decisions for THIS year based on a player's performance AS A ROOKIE TWO YEARS AGO. But its better to base how good a player is by 1 month of spot starts and pinch hitting? And I suppose Theriot has hit the magic number of plate appearances where his performance must be real? Every comparison that can be made between the two players favors Cedeno at this point. He's hitting for a higher average, drawing more walks, hitting for more power, playing better defense, running the bases well... and everybody is in agreement that his ceiling his higher anyways. What's the excuse for playing him over Cedeno? That he's the incumbent? That kind of risk-averse management is exactly the reason teams lose more games than their talent should. Seriously... somebody here needs to give me one legitimate point in Theriots favor versus Cedeno. I haven't heard any yet.
  14. Rob
    Hopefully Pie's catch is the sort of thing that'll convince Lou to keep him on the roster.
  15. Rob
    My thread remains intact. That's all that matters. He should have kept mine...may have been a minute later, but at least it had a link. Oh - and OMC started one in the non-Cubs forum. We love us some JJ round here. You snooze, you lose. Breaking news doesn't have time for a link.
  16. Rob
    My thread remains intact. That's all that matters.
  17. Rob
    Unfortunately, I can really see Hendry getting interested in re-acquiring him.
  18. Rob
    His hitting has been very good (for him). Between the excessive baserunning gaffes and his defensive woes, the whole package has been less than spectacular. Is it really so ridiculous to think that the Cubs should be playing the better player... not just the incumbent who has done pretty well?
  19. Rob
    I'm almost surprised that Lou didn't send Soto there on the full count...
  20. Rob
    It was a double switch. The pitchers spot is right behind Fukudome.
  21. Rob
    Gallagher hit 95 on that. :shock:
  22. Rob
    1.) Johnson vs. Pie 2.) Theriot vs. Cedeno (and Fontenot vs. Cedeno, to a lesser extent) 3.) Rich Hill That should get you started.
  23. Rob
    That was picture perfect.
  24. Rob
    Lee saw two pitches.
  25. Rob
    It was a cutter right in the middle of the plate. The outcome may not have been what we wanted, but Lee should definitely be allowed to swing at that pitch any time he gets it.
