Boy, is this nice to read... (Lou on BBs)
inari replied to TruffleShuffle's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Agreed. I love the quote, but I put the blame on squarely on Jim Hendry. He's filled the team with players who have a history of not walking. Soriano, Aramis, Barrett, Jones- all good hitters. Never were guys who drew walks before coming to the team, how can we expect them to walk now? Blame Hendry. Regardless of what Dusty said, I just saw it as him sticking up for the players Jim Hendry gave him. After all, Dusty did coach the best walk guy in the history of baseball. I don't think it's fair to put Aramis in the same category as the others. He's not completely allergic to walks like they are. He's not going to draw as many as Lee, but I he's pretty much "average" when it comes to drawing walks and I'd expect that to get better as he gets older. He had a few monster walk years in the minors. -

I was at this game. My first time in new Busch, and I've gotta say, it's a gorgeous stadium. -
You don't even know how happy I am to hear Lou say that Theriot will be at short this weekend. I'm heading to St. Louis in a couple of hours and I was terrified I'd have to see Izturis.
-
I didn't even know Harris could play short.
-
Haha, the crowd is just flat out being mean to Eyre. I love it.
-
Time to focus exclusively on the Bulls. See ya guys.
-
I just want Hill to get through seven to get that ERA down. It's usually not till Aguust that I stop caring about wins and losses and start caring about players padding their stats.
-
Keep it predictable, guys.
-
Oh man. That strike two swing by Jacque was simply comical.
-
Go ahead and keep your pants on.
-
Jesus, why can't we hit home runs? I'm getting tired of stranding runners.
-
1.29 is unacceptably high.
-
Can't the Brewers just let Rich's ERA stay nice and low?
-
Guys, you do know we're going to tie this game within the next couple innings, right? I mean, we're still going to lose, but it wouldn't be the Cub way to just go down 2-0.
-
In a few years, perhaps.
-
I'm not too upset simply because I'm far more focused on the Bulls tonight. Still, I want to at least see Rich go 30-3 this season.
-
That was laughably predictable.
-
Dang. I thought that was the first Cubs homer for sure.
-
Cool add on. Hooray for no more google ads. Boo for bunting into double plays.
-
Too many pitches. Hopefully Hill can get through seven.
-
Hm? I'd love to hear these.
-
Haha. Only us.
-
Nice double, MB. Let's at least cut this lead in half.
-
2-0 loss. Cool!
-
Shocking.
