I'm willing to bet a lot of the walks Soto accrued over the year have been a result of him hitting in the bottom of the lineup in front of some pitchers and dubiously weak hitters Then why don't most #8 hitters have high OBP%s?
-
No, when Soto's going good (see the month that preceded this slump) he leads the world in OBP%. Koyie Hill will never do anything remotely resembling that.
-
Wait a sec. Isn't his OPS over .800? Career AND this season?
-
Actually wouldn't mind Wells giving up a few more if it meant Cashner could get a few innings.
-
Evidently that''s not the case.
-
27 year old catcher with a career and season OPS over .800 is going to be our new backup.
-
Greatest inning ever. 4 pitches, one of them hit for a double. Inning over.
-
Nah, I still think we win this one, though it might be ugly.
-
I'm going to predict a series sweep, which will get many of us mildly interested again, unfortunately.
-
Well at least we have the real heart of the order coming up.....
-
In other news, Jim Hendry has seen to it that John Grabow is a multi-millionaire.
-
No he looks like that every shot.

5/29 Cardinals (Ottavino) @ Cubs (Silva) 3:10 FOX
muntjack replied to otis89's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I'm starting to think Carlos Silva is a good pitcher. Ahem. -
Very classy. Unfortunately players cannot do this too often or it would offer management the opportunity to spend even more frivolously, knowing that players would help compensate for payroll mistakes.
-
Ok, I'm getting to the point where I don't care who he replaces.
-
Ely has "complete disdain" for the Chicago Cubs. Please knock the crap out of the ball today, gentlemen.

5/21 - Idiots (Lilly) @ Rangers (Lewis) 7:05 PM CSN
muntjack replied to David's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Lewis threw mayyyybe 2 strikes that inning. -
Dont be surprised when he's traded for a mediocre RH setup man.
-
Well not to be a Soto apologist, but in that span he has narrowly missed 2 HR and was a victim of the worst called strike 3 I've ever seen. Really wish someone had a GIF of that.
-
Strike 2 was one of the worst I've seen. Strike 3 was straight out of Naked Gun.
-
Perhaps the worst strike call i've ever seen.
-
Highest OBP in the NL. Hitting 8th.
-
Of the top 12 in the NL in OPS, 1/3 are Chicago Cubs.
-
It's one thing for small market, low-payroll teams to be terrible. For the team with the highest payroll in the league to perform at this level just puts an enormous spotlight on management. When your payroll is $150 million and you're relying on Carlos Silva and Tom Gorzelanny (I know they've been serviceable, but don't let that trick you) as cornerstones of the rotation, and when you exacerbate what is already perhaps the most ineffecient budgeting of payroll in sports history by putting your most highly-paid starter (with a career ERA+ of 125) in the role of setup man YOU need to be held accountable when the team fails. The plan was poor, the execution has been poor and the attempts to fix the team have been laughable. Do the right thing and step down. This is shameful.

But of course, you aren't really serious.
