An interesting stat for someone to look up...
  1. of bunts attempted or successful by the Cubs in comparison to rest of the league… seems like we never bunt.

by GoCubbies34 on May 4, 2008 8:30 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Cubs have 21 bunt attempts on the season...

...with 3 hits and 13 SH.

In the NL this season there have been 357 bunt attempts, 210 SH, 50 hits and 11 reached on error.

Miller and Morgan

IMO they’re fine. The morgan bitterness gets me but overall I don’t mind them.

OK… can someone please explain why Jason Marquis is still in the rotation when there are far better options?

He led the ML in outs made on the absepaths last season.

He already leads the league in caught stealing. It doesn’t matter if he gets on base, he’s often not around to score any runs, which is what counts.

If there was ever any doubt...

that Soriano leading off is a bad move, it’s enough that Joe Morgan thinks it’s the right one. To compare Soriano to Bobby Bonds (as Lou did) or to Tony Gwynn (as Morgan did) is heresy. And then Morgan says he is for Soriano leading off because he thinks players should hit where they can do the most for the team. Huh?

I blame it on the media regarding Soriano

Even when we were winning games, we were asked about Soriano and what to do with him when he returns. Knowing the mentality of Soriano, it has to affect him. He hit an all-time low on Friday, and aside from the HR, hasn’t been able to recover. Something has to be done with him whether its a psychiatrist or a sit down with Lou.

At least he understands baseball.

Chip, especially considering his pedigree, was not exactly a student of the game.

of making it obvious all on his own.

Yeah come on, KC

This is NOTHING like last year….
Leading the league in runs scored…..tied for 3rd in WL record….etc…
none of those were mentioned a year ago now.

A loss here and there will happen.
And it could be worse – as in a 5 game skid like the southsiders…

DeRosa needs a break

start Cedeno at 2nd when Ramirez comes back tomorrow. DeRosa in a funk (DON”T GO SAYING WE NEED ROBERTS!).

DeRosa has a .729 OPS the past seven games.

Theriot has a .550 OPS the past seven games.

I have no idea why in the hell people seem to blame DeRosa for so much when he’s really one of the top contributors on the team.

I'm not bashing the guy

It’s something to say that his batting average is low and he hasn’t had that many clutch hits so far this season

Wow all around horrible night, how marquis manages to give up 5 runs to that piece of shit cardinal lineup is beyond me, outside of Pujols and Glaus that lineup is pathetic, giving up hits to izturis should result in a fine

99%?

Everyone I talked to was skeptical about bringing a guy with that kind of strikeout rate and at-best-unspectacular OBP in as a leadoff hitter, and with such a long contract at his age.

Could we maybe, just one game when Aramis gets back

Sit DeRosa and Theriot, start Fontenot and Cedeno and see what happens. DeRosa needs a day off.
