    Geovany Soto

    Rob replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Can't disagree, but I'd rather see him get a few days of rest during the Break.... Agreed. Considering the load he's catching right now... I'm real worried about his performance at the end of the season. I hope Lou wises up and rests him a bit more often.
  2. Rob
    If he does get to it, I doubt his uniform stays as clean as Pie's did.

    Why the hell are we throwing Marmol in a blowout?
  4. Rob
    Guy completely washes out as a pitcher despite all the talent in the world... takes a bunch of HGH, comes back to the majors as a hitter, and we're supposed to be rooting for the guy? Calling it a Disney story? Puhleaze.

    McCarver completely ignoring that they don't play nearly as many games in Japan....
  6. Rob
    Looks like the initial lineups were misreported. Soto is apparently hitting in front of Fontenot.
  7. Rob
    This camera is too straight on with the plate. It's throwing me way off.

    A good manager wont win you many games, but a bad manager can lose you a bunch. Lou is managing very, very badly right now.

    I must apologize to everybody but we got the call from Sean about 1:30 this morning. Sean told me I couldn't report it as you all know what happened last time!!!! [-X I know Sean is looking forward to today as I spoke with him early this morning but I haven't heard anything about the Cubs plans for him. I know that he will do whatever it takes to help this team and must say again that his parents are so proud of him......... \:D/ No offense intended, obviously... but I really wish your son wasn't coming up under these circumstances.
  10. Rob
    Who should he start over? The guy who's been on base 7 times the last 3 games, or the guy who's been on base 8 times the last 3 games? You do realize Cedeno has been on 4 times in the last 3 games... and he only got into two of those, both times as a pinch hitter.
  11. Rob
    Honest question... is Theriot doing anything better than Cedeno right now? Am I just overlooking something?
  12. Rob
    Cedeno is hitting for a higher average with more power. He's drawing walks more frequently. He's playing better defense, and not screwing up constantly on the basepaths. I appreciate that Theriot has been hitting the ball well. But he hasn't done it well enough to warrant keeping his job when we have an option who is better in every conceivable fashion right now. It's just tough luck.
  13. Rob
    This is bad.
  14. Rob
    Quade sent him on the first one. And you have to believe he was going on first movement there at the behest of the coaching staff. Theriot made his own bad decision today. Let's not pretend otherwise.
  15. Rob
    He's hit the ball well ALL year. No one wants to admit it and it's kinda of lame how much the Theriot haters want him to fail, just so they are proven correct. He's been hitting very well compared to what we could expect of him. But that's only good enough to make him Henry Blanco to Ronny Cedeno's Geovany Soto.
  16. Rob
    I heard Cedeno played CF in winter ball. A bit. Though I understand the transition didn't go particularly well...
  17. Rob
    I think Theriot may be trying too hard to make things happen on the basepaths because he's worried about losing his job.
  18. Rob
    First game I get to watch on WGNHD... lets hope its a good one.
  19. Rob
    probably because he generally has good fundamentals and people aren't going to overreact about a few baserunning mistakes made in one week. Does he, really? Or is that just perception? What does that even mean? yes, he does. he's a good baserunner, steals bases at a good rate, shows good patience at the plate and doesn't make many errors. there's plenty to criticize with theriot, like his ability to hit and his range in the field. He used to steal bases at a good rate. This year, he's got a 58.3% success rate. (7 SB, 5 CS)

    EqA: Lee - .347 Soto - .325 Cedeno - .323 Ramirez - .316 Fukudome - .312 DeRosa - .292 Blanco - .279 Theriot - .276 Johnson - .258 Pie - .222 Maybe there is something to the idea of playing Cedeno in CF...

    http://www.fangraphs.com/lgraphs/280430116_Brewers_Cubs_67630125_lbig.png Cedeno's WPA for the night is .000, despite the three run double and the walks in his other two plate appearances. The game was already decided long before then.
  22. Rob
    Cedeno's OPS is sitting at 1.029 at the end of April. I know Theriot is performing well also (.831 OPS), but Cedeno needs to be playing everyday right now.
  23. Rob
    Alright... despite the complete lack of drama, I've watched the whole game up to this point. But now it's GTA4 time.
  24. Rob
    Cedeno is down to a walk every 8.5 PA. How does this compare to previous years? 2005 - 17.8 PA/BB 2006 - 33.6 PA/BB 2007 - 26.7 PA/BB Simply put, Cedeno has changed his approach significantly.
