What is Lou smoking?

DeRo is red-hot. Why drop him to 8th where he’ll see nothing but junk?

As a matter of fact, why change the lineup at all? They scored 11 runs in their last game…

he's done very well

in the 8 spot, actually.

Wouldn't it be better if he does well in the 6th spot?

Especially considering that Dome and Soto have gone a bit cold recently.

well

if DeRo is getting on base when they’re not, it means he’s got a better shot of being on base when Sori comes up, no?

It also means that your hottest (or second hottest) hitter is getting the fewest PAs.

agree

wondering why not leave Geo in the 8 hole?

by MOCubsfan on Aug 8, 2008 1:19 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He mentioned in the pregame...

...that he messed around with the order based on “the numbers.” Not sure which numbers, specifically, he was looking at.

maybe he knows something

which would explain why he’s in the dugout and I’m at home on the couch?

Isn't he like 0 forever against Looper?

He’s only had one hit in 14 AB (17 PA) with 4 Ks lifetime vs Looper.
