Thank you, Dusty. -
5/6 Cobs (Big Z) @ Dusty Baker's Reds (Harang) 6:10 CSN
Rob replied to JimSorgi's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
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) -
Cedeno is working out in CF again, apparently.
-
I traded him before this start in a package deal for ARod. :yahoo:
-
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.
-
Hopefully Pie's catch is the sort of thing that'll convince Lou to keep him on the roster.
-
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.
-
My thread remains intact. That's all that matters.
-
Unfortunately, I can really see Hendry getting interested in re-acquiring him.
-
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?
-
I'm almost surprised that Lou didn't send Soto there on the full count...
-
It was a double switch. The pitchers spot is right behind Fukudome.
-
Gallagher hit 95 on that. :shock:
-
1.) Johnson vs. Pie 2.) Theriot vs. Cedeno (and Fontenot vs. Cedeno, to a lesser extent) 3.) Rich Hill That should get you started.
-
That was picture perfect.
-
Lee saw two pitches.
-
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.
-
Very nice PA by Theriot.
-
Soriano sucks.
-
Cedeno reaches again. That's what, six PA in a row?
-
You have to be kidding me... how does Soriano get blamed for that?
-
to be fair, most lineups become average when you remove arguably their best hitter and turn their third or fourth-best hitter into a lesser version of neifi perez. Now that Lee is hitting homers again, Aramis cannot possibly be considered our best hitter - though your point stands. Aramis is taking walks now, though... which used to be the exclusive domain of Lee.
-
Let's all be completely honest here. Theriot is good at stealing bases... when he gets to pick his spots. This season, he's on track for 66 SB attempts. He's running a lot more often than he ever had before, and certainly in much worse situations. He wont succeed attempting this many swipes, and he's hurting our team right now everytime he takes off. He needs to be stopped from running so damn often.
-
Hardcore just blushed at this post. This is the most nonsensical post in the history of nonsensical posts I can't believe I missed that one. Another one gets to go on my list.
-
he doesn't actually. 7 SB, 6 CS You're right... that's worse than just "suck"
