Oh my what an awful lineup. Johnson is hitting .232 .291 .303 .594 against righties...and HES LEADING OFF? That's 0-4 right there. Absolutely no Soto in there when he's actually starting to pick it up, and there's the benefit of the DH? Horrible. This is just an awful awful lineup and probably will end up being the worst of the year when all is said and done. Hopefully we can luck our way to a victory. -
I don't get why people keep saying this, unless you're assuming Soto would have gone to third. Look at how that ball deflected. The ball was going to split the OFs. Maybe it wasn't hit hard enough to score two like I said above. Maybe it was. At the very least, Soto would have gotten to third easily and it would have been 1st and 3rd 0 outs with the score 3-2
-
Again, I contend that if that ball doesn't hit the ump, its headed straight into the gap between the OFs and I believe 2 runs score to tie it.
-
2-5 all time vs. Toronto
-
That he did
-
Agreed, but crazier things have happened.
-
Well BJ pretty much owned Theriot there...

This is all going to be hilarious when Lou inexplicably lets Micah hit for himself in the 9th
-
Reed But then who plays 1B if we get to the bottom of 9? DeRosa. And they'll put Johnson and Cedeno in the outfield in some configuration. Lou's playing the numbers with all the left-handers. The reason he did it this way was limited batter pitcher data: Blanco against Downs: 3/6, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 BB's, .500/.625/1.175 And the reason we saved Johnson for the 9th: Johnson against Ryan: 3/4 Don't put much value in those numbers, but with 3 left-handers to pinch-hit for it made sense to try to put the players in the order to at least give you the best spot overall, and that was likely Blanco last inning, and when there became 2 outs and only a guy on 1st I like that they ended up saving Johnson until the 9th. Smart post

Has anyone figured out why Eyre is growing a ChiaPet on his chin?
-
With the crazy way Lou is managing today, probably Dempster.
-
For the record we looked like complete trash yesterday as well.
-
With slumping Theriot, bad Hoffpauir, and slumping Lee?
-
We had our one chance in the 6th and couldn't capitalize.
-
If he layed off in that one ab and swung in this at bat instead of vice versa, we would at least be tied!
-
Cedeno has been garbage as of late. Can't see that stopping here.
-
Wow....I know we love patience and stuff, but geez at some point you gotta swing.
-
Probably never a good idea to bring a completely cold hitter into that situation, but then again, who would have been better in that situation? Oh wait, Reed Johnson??
-
To be fair, he would be in the opposite batters box, so that's a big assumption. D'oh. We're even now :)
-
Good battle by Blanco, but I don't feel like he is really getting good wood on these pitches.
-
Whelp, at the expense of the Cardinals, I do believe we no longer lead the NL in runs.
-
You know whats amazing to me? The last 5 runs the Cubs have scored should have been Jim Edmonds RBI's. -Edmonds Sac fly yesterday -Edmonds HR -Reed Johnson HBP (Edmonds probably would have done the same thing) -Edmonds RBI double -Edmonds hit that glanced off the ump should have scored the runner, but was instead driven in by EPatt
-
Just noticed on Gateway Redbirds that Carpenter is complaining of elbow discomfort
-
Makes me want to win even more so we can gain.
