I thought I heard that Hoffpauir was going to be out 4-6 weeks which was what, 2 weeks or so ago? -
Murton wasn't called up, from what I hear, because Patterson is more fit to be a leadoff man and that is the glaring hole right now.

Are you trying harder if you ran slower than you actually could?
-
True, but no one has been arguing for stretching a double into a triple as the result of hustling. then remind me what's the point in hammering on Aramis for his double? Thinking you hit a homerun when it really is a double increases the chances you get thrown out at second. It is one of my pet peeves. Would your head explode if our team looked like this LF: Manny Ramirez CF: Ken Griffey Jr. RF: Barry Bonds 3B: Aramis Ramirez 2B: Alfonso Soriano SS: Alex Rodriguez 1B: Ryan Howard C: Mike Piazza No it wouldn't. We are not comparing one player with another. We are comparing what one player could do compared to what they same player could do if he ran harder.

you forgot that he cruised into 2nd with a double without getting thrown out No I didn't. We are talking about %s here. Do you believe that running harder to second increases the chance that you get there safely?

Heh, that was my immediate reaction to this. This was my thought too. I really doubt it matters much really. Sori will be back in 2 weeks and the club will continue to roll on the back of Lee. At least we can enjoy an much more balanced lineup while he is out Does anyone know what the Cubs record was with Soriano on the DL last year? 10-13 I believe

Because Z was running? and any runner would have hustled to try and beat the double play. Now we're catching on! So hustling does help a team win. it doesn't hurt. now, getting on base, hitting home runs, pitching well, and playing good defense helps a team win about 5 million times more. i'll take a slow runner who gets on base and hits home runs over a hustler who sucks at getting on base and doesn't hit for power any day of the week. but you're right. hustling CAN help a team win. but it's about 10th on the list of things that help a team win. I'll take a fast runner who gets on base and hits homers over anyone. I just want Soriano and Ramirez to be better players. Lou has said that the Cubs need to get out to a fast start. I agree. That's why you hustle which can win you games. Of course it is 10th on the list. But doing the little things can win you games. I don't think the Cubs are going to blowout the Brewers. Last year the division came down to one game. Some games are decided by hustling.

There is running, just not very much of it. So when it is your chance to run, make the most of it.

Johnson is a platoon player. Look at his L/R splits. One thing this injury should NOT do is parlay a platoon player into an everyday spot. I think the real reason why Murton isn't called up is because he has very similar splits as Reed. Which begs the question, why did we sign Reed when we already have Murton? The Lou factor. I don't think Lou likes him. Reed has a little more pop than Murton. How do you figure? Reed has a .409 career SLG, Murton a .455 You are right. Murton homers once every 35 or so at bats. Johnson every 50. Back to the platoon thing. There are only three everyday OF players. If one gets hurt, someone who is not an everyday player has to play. Usually it is a platoon player.
-
Yes. That's how he has gotten injured in the past. We are trying to stay healthy here. brb i have to pick up the pieces of brain matter on the floor because my head just exploded Did you forget how ARam got hurt last year loafing then running hard to first?

How'd the Cubs win Sunday? A phantom home run by DeRosa? That too. But didn't that tie it and not win it?

But looking at the stats, Patterson is having a poor spring too. I think I just lost a friend.
-
I never said that he should have tried to stretch it into a triple.
-
How'd the Cubs win Sunday? an error? Caused by...you are so close! a bad throw by utley? Why did Utley say he made a bad throw? Why did DeRosa say he made a bad throw?

I think he would have too. I have seen him do it. I just want to see him do it consistently.
