    He missed catching that by maybe an inch or two. He's pretty solid out there. Yeah, that was just barely not an amazing catch. He's been pretty impressive.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Oh, come on. That was a bullet.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    he threw 115 pitches last outing, and he doesn't exactly have the most resilient arm in the world. And the Cubs have starters dealing with injury problems right now. Best not to push it.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Pulling Rich Harden after 90 pitches is A-OK with me.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    While he did save him, it wasnt an easy play by any means for Fox I know, I'm just deflating the Fox love a little.

    They're competing them with them by doing the same thing those teams are doing: winning series and beating up on the bad teams. No team plays mostly good teams in a season, and bad teams don't consistently beat up on other bad teams: then they wouldn't be bad teams.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Bradley saves Fox.

    Little early for that, since it would only be .5/gm up if it works out. I still can't get too excited about the standing yet. Long way to go, lots of injuries need to heal, and the Cubs need to put together an extended streak of good baseball to have any hopes of accomplishing anything. We are starting to do that. Nice play. I guess I need to see it against someone other than Washington and the Reds before I get too riled up. The Cubs play more average, mediocre and bad teams than good ones.

    Or just play Sori there and let Fox play left. Dear Lord, people...THE #8 HITTER CAN BE BAD. Soto will hit 7th when he comes back. A Fontenot/Baker platoon at #8 is fine. The Cubs don't need to be creating serious defensive liabilities in two positions to replace the #8 hitters. GOOD LORD it won't kill us to try that for a couple of games until Geo gets back. GOOD LORD, it just might. There's no reason to do something that ridiculous in a division this tight right now with Soto due back. Why do they need to try something so desperate? It's been a pleasant suprise that Fox has done as well as he has around the field, but catching is a much more critical position than all of those and it's by far the one he is worst at. As bad as Hill is at the plate he makes up for it as a catcher given that the rest of the lineup is doing just fine.

    True, though Welly is really, REALLY bad.

    Uh, Soto didn't die. When he's back he hits #7. Problem solved. With the pitching injuries cropping up it's best not to waste whatever limited trading resources the Cubs by acting like the #8 hitter is a spot that desperately needs to be fixed. They need to either trade for a starter or trade for a lefty reliver to get Marshall back into the rotation. Anyone with an ounce of brain matter would refuse to use Fox behind the plate unless they absolutely had to.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Slow down.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    We need Soto back more than anything. Get him back and he's healthy and he's batting 7 and that is tasty. At that point Fontenot/Baker can do whatever they want in the 8 slot.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Damn, he's frustrating at hell, but I love how amped Bradley gets. He almost snapped Fontenot in half with that high five after scoring.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Good Lord, the idea of Stone and Kaplan united in a duo of douchebaggery is just too awful.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    No, this is how he is everyday. That site is ridiculous.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, what crap.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Karma.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    He at least still serves an essential purpose no matter how bad he is offensively. Miles does not.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    SORIANOWNED. Nice 3-3 day going for him.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Wow, nice snag.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Because he got a meatball and tagged it.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    seeing as holliday's career line on the road is .283/.352/.452/.804, i'm gonna go ahead and take aramis as the better hitter. Yea but ARams career line on the road isnt much better than that. So again it comes down to how much of a hitters park is Wrigley really? I know this year its played as a pitchers park, and has in the past also. Yeah, a 30 point difference in OPS is nothing.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Yes, he would. Hill's AB's stinks, but he plays too large a role behind the plate that Fox simply cannot do. He's that bad? People can run at will on him, he doesn't call a very good game and he has trouble with the whole catching the ball part of being a catcher.
