many gnomes have sold in the last week, I think
one is on it’s way to my garden now – wife had to look around to find them in stock for father’s day…
I think BCB started a run on them
Win.

did the chris young/DLee fracas get this much attention last year?
they’re breaking down the details of the rays/sox fight
It got a lot of attention.
Baseball fights, espcially in a series like this (where the division lead is at stake) are always exciting.
Damn Redsox
I hope they never get Sabathia and I hope the D Rays beat them to the playoffs.
I wonder if Brenly still thinks Sori is afraid of the wall.

If only two people could lose a fight.
I can’t stand Kent. I can get used to Jim Edmonds ina Cub uniform, but Kent: never.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
The year Kent won the MVP...
...Sosa had 50 homers, and had a damn similar season.

Dan
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
But Kent had that season at 2B,
while Sosa had it in the OF. That type of production from a 2B will garner more MVP votes than it will for an OF.

He shuts up when Soriano has a good game.
Never heard him say much when Theriot has a fielding error or caught stealing, either.
So that’s actually quite often that he shuts up.

I'm over it though
The only reason to want more Cubs coverage is to relive the experience over and over and while I can’t get enough of “good cubs news”, i think the benefits of being a sidebar to the sideshow of the Spanks and Crimson Sox is that we can operate in relative anonymity and not provide too much bulletin board material for upcoming teams.

I was resigned to it.
At some point, you have to figure that bad players don’t give themselves playing time, it’s given to them by some outside force. God knows they’re not trying to be bad, so after a while it’s really no fun blaming them for having less talent than others. They don’t have the option to stop being bad players. Managers have the option to not give bad players as much playing time as they do, especially when they have alternatives.

"In all the categories that you pay the most attention to, except the loss column, we're doing very well" - Jim Hendry
I seriously doubt Ryan Theriot would care to talk to me at all.
He doesn’t seem particularly interested in baseball anaylysis, if you can believe it. And I’m fine with that.
But being a bad baseball player – or, more accurately in this case, a less-good-than-someone-else baseball player – doesn’t make you a bad person. It isn’t a moral failing. You can point out plenty of instances where I’ve been less-than-complimentary of Theriot’s skills as a baseball player, but I can’t recall ever using that as a springboard to degrade him as a person.
In Ryan Theriot’s position, I would continue to play as much baseball as they let me, and let God sort the rest out. He’s certainly not putting a gun to Lou’s head to make him play him.
But at the same time… I guess if it’s wrong to state my opinions, informed by and coupled with the facts as best as I can understand and present them, then I’m wrong. I can live with that.
Theroit may not be the best player
but there is no doubt that he goes all out on every play. There is something to be said for guys who are blessed with talent that do all they can to make up for it with effort.
by bubbamike the one and only on Jun 6, 2008 1:09 AM CDT up reply actions
and that something is....
scrappy.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.
by santoswoodenlegs on Jun 6, 2008 1:09 AM CDT up reply actions
Sure.
But once it’s been said, you’re still left with a guy that doesn’t have the range and arm to be an everyday shortstop, and whose overall offensive value is dragged down by his lack of extra-base hits. The one doesn’t preclude the other – it’s just that one is a lot more relevant to wins and losses.
I suppose we're going to walk the tight-rope with him...
as long as he’s getting on base 40% of the time and hitting above .300…we can stomach the below average defense. If those 2 offensive things start to diminish…then we’re in trouble.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.
by santoswoodenlegs on Jun 6, 2008 1:19 AM CDT up reply actions
I think Theriot is costing the team more runs...
...in the field than he’s producing with his bat, at least compared to the average (or even the hypothetical replacement level) shortstop. Again, based upon the early returns.
The confounding issue is that we have neither an “avereage” or “replacement” shortstop to hand – we have Ronny Cedeno, widely understood to be one of the most frustrating ballplayers to watch.
We really have no way of knowing for sure if Cedeno is a better shortstop than Theriot other than to give him a real chance to prove himself. The Cubs seem wildly disinterested in this; they also see no real need to try and upgrade the position via trade.
I understand your arguement regarding his lack of...
extra base hits…but I’m of the opinion…(right or wrong)...that if he can hit like he has so far…unlikely…he’s a serviceable SS in this particular offense. I just keep expecting him to hit the wall and revert back to his pedestrian performance at the plate. But it’s June 5th…and I’m still waiting.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.
by santoswoodenlegs on Jun 6, 2008 1:31 AM CDT up reply actions
Theriot has come into a very odd sort of hitting style.
Right now his OBP is .021 points above his SLG. Only two players last season – Nick Punto and Reggie Willits – were able to do that and qualify for the batting tittle. His LD% seems to support his BA, though, so who knows.
Even if he keeps hitting at this level, however, he’s still a net minus to the team unless his fielding improves as well.
A minus...maybe...
but as you’ve pointed out…other than ONEDEC…what other realistic choice do we have right now?
Is a gold-glove SS hitting .275 going to be that bid of a plus in this lineup?
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.
by santoswoodenlegs on Jun 6, 2008 1:45 AM CDT up reply actions
ONEDEC would be a great choice. CEDENO! not so much.
A couple of things.
A gold-glove SS would be a huge help in the field, since SS is arguably the most important defensive position. This would in turn help our pitching, which would help our starters go deeper and save our bullpen from overuse, especially Marmol. I would take a significantly weaker hitter for a gold glove fielder.
“Hitting .275” does not tell you much about a hitter.
“in this lineup” is an odd phrase I have seen used by many people. Wouldnt a good hitter help any lineup, and a bad hitter hurt any lineup? The jist seems to be, even if he is bad, the rest of the lineup is so good they can carry him. But wouldnt finding the best option always be the thing to do for the team, even if a lineup can carry someone?

IM kind of an old timer ,
I like the team that plays the small ball approach. Ie: hitting behind runners, get em on get em over get em in. The talent is in how the game is played. Its such a simple gam when played this way. give me all the scrappy I can get.
Well I hope you're not insinuating
I’ve ever accused you of degrading him. B/c I’m not nor will I ever. As I said, your analysis coupled w/ your opinions intrigue me, especially when it comes trying to figure out the mystery of a player like TheRiot.
"In all the categories that you pay the most attention to, except the loss column, we're doing very well" - Jim Hendry
I'm probably a little defensive.
I’ve been called a “Theriot-hater” often enough that I tend to get a little reflexive when it’s brought up.
I don’t hate Ryan Theriot; I just don’t think that he’s a very good defensive shortstop. I think part of the issue is that a lot of people really do love Ryan Theriot, and so they feel the need to project the same level of emotion onto my stance about Ryan Theriot. It really leads to a lot of misunderstandings – my primary emotions about Ryan Theriot at this point are exasperation and honestly a bit of boredom.
I like Theroit but
you have to be honest about his shortcomings.
by bubbamike the one and only on Jun 6, 2008 1:15 AM CDT up reply actions
I guess.
Seems like Eric patterson might be a better guy to fill the Fontenot role right now.

I think he son was very, very young when spring training started – IIRC, he was born just before the end of last year. It would have been pretty stressful for mom and baby to have moved here a couple months later and/or follow the team on road trips. That, and international travel could wreak havoc on a newborn’s fragile immune system.

Lou
has been giving a lot of lip service to resting the bullpen, but it needs to start happening; like now. Marmol leads in holds and Wood leads in saves, but they also lead by a wide margin in a very ugly stat, pitch count for respective role.
I feel like Lou wants to put the division away early, all by himself (IOW, by the Cubs). With the advantage the Cubs possess via sheer talent, I think it’s ok to let the other teams destroy themselves rather than attempt to annihilate them, only to capture exactly what we had at the end of last season, a division crown; something that is likely to be ours anyway. The Cardinals are not going to play over their heads for another 4 months. And we all know Wood historically has something less than a rubber arm.
Rest the pen. It's ok to lose a battle once in a while if it means you'll ultimately win the war.Tinker to Evers to Chance.
I agree
It’s just tough when you can’t trust anyone else – tonight is the perfect example. We all thought Howry was putting it together and getting back on track and then he gives up a sickening game tying HR in the 8th. That hurt.
by cubsonWGN4ever on Jun 6, 2008 2:07 AM CDT up reply actions

I have to think that Hr to Kent had something to do w/Soto goin out to the mound. Howry usually hits the outside corner, that was right down broadway. Vin Scully had it nailed, what a treat it is to hear that man call a game. Thank’s again for the tip Jayo, good lookin.

but everything was fine and then Geo, seemingly went out there for whatever reason. Scully went off about how veterans don’t like to get a talking to by rookies (you know how ballplayer’s can be) and sure enough next pitch BAM.

it seems he is actually a very uptight guy when he is getting ready to pitch. I could see him being miffed about an unneccessary (in his judgement) visit to the mound.

he slipped and landed on his back in the bullpen early on in the game. I held my breath, until he got up. He walked over toward the seats near the bullpen phone and I got his attention asked him if he was okay he said yeah I’m fine. scary moment, awesome that he responded to me though.

I thought I would round this off to

It was a gas to read this thread today. I love reliving the angst of the 9th.
I listened to the game on WGN while in NYC as my MLB TV feed kept freezing over the Internet last night (blame the hotel…what can I expect for over $500/night!). Does anyone else have this problem with the mlb.com TV feeds freezing? I thought Santo was goint to have a heart attack when the bags were full in the 9th.
I am happily heading back to LA now. BEAT THE DODGERS…daily!
