Navin, thanx for the assist !! :wink:

I believe it was Larry Stahl; it definitely wasn't Ivie. Ivie had a cup of coffee in the majors in 1971, but didn't return to the majors until 1974. Definitely Larry Stahl, pinch hitting for the pitcher.

Over the last 12 games (7-5) the CUBS have put up some interesting numbers...... Runs scored: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Total CUBS 4 6 6 12 6 3 11 4 3 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 56 Opponents 4 5 4 5 6 8 5 5 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 46 Batting: 05/29 - 06/10 AB R H 2b 3b HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS CUBS 434 56 121 23 2 12 184 52 33 60 0.279 0.334 0.424 0.758 Oppt 413 46 104 21 3 10 161 44 43 82 0.252 0.325 0.390 0.715 Pitching: 05/29 - 06/10 IP H R ER BB K HR BB/9 K/9 HR/9 WHIP ERA CUBS 109.0 104 46 41 43 82 10 3.55 6.77 0.83 1.35 3.39 Oppt 111.0 121 56 49 33 60 12 2.68 4.86 0.97 1.39 3.97 These totals for BA, OBP, SLG, & OPS are all slightly above league average, while ERA would be the best in the league by 0.60 and WHIP would be tied for 5th. Some other comparisons that caught my eye, based on the last 12 games..... CUBS are on a pace to win 95 games this year..... compared to 79 last year CUBS are on a pace to score 756 runs this year..... compared to 703 last year CUBS are on a pace to hit 162 home runs this year..... compared to 194 last year CUBS are on a pace to draw 446 walks this year..... compared to 419 last year CUBS are on a pace to strike out 810 times this year..... compared to 920 last year CUBS are on a pace to steal 108 bases this year..... compared to 64 last year CUBS are on a pace to ground into 122 double plays this year..... compared to 129 last year CUBS are on a pace to commit 95 errors this year..... compared to 100 last year CUBS are scoring 4.67 runs per game compared to 4.34 last year CUBS are seeing 3.67 pitches per plate appearance compared to 3.61 last year CUBS are drving in 20.0% of their runners on base compared to 18.4% last year CUBS are scoring 0.354 runs per baserunner compared to 0.365 last year CUBS are extra base hit ratio is 30.6% compared to 35.8% last year So, I wonder..... have we turned a corner here ?? Or is this just another "feast" soon to be followed by the inevitable "famine" ?? Stay tuned to find out !!
