Lee catches the bloop
then fires it back in.
Lol
Hairston pops up
Lee makes the catch! That’s why he’s in the lineup even when his batting struggles. Throws home, just in case. Three outs.

And then he has the nerve to hit Sori with a pitch.

ok here goes
the ball made contact with the bat in the hands of Eckstein. The ball then ws rulled a grounder as it made initial contact with the ground, and traveled in a rolling motion until Fonty fielded the ball, and threw it to first base, which then recordered an out in favor of the Cubs

Prove to me

I’m not taking offense into the argument, so stop bringing it up.
by northernsails on May 13, 2009 8:45 PM CDT up reply actions
There's no way to prove that
I don’t trust defensive metrics that much, but the metrics don’t love Lee all that much. Gonzales won the Gold Glove last year, so at least some people think he’s good at defense. That suggests they’re at least in the same league.
A number of people have been given Gold Gloves
who haven’t had great defensive numbers. It’s a popularity contest.
by northernsails on May 13, 2009 8:49 PM CDT up reply actions
Popularity contest?
Who would be likely to benefit from a popularity contest in gold glove voting? Not Adrian Gonzales, who is relatively unknown compared to other NL first basemen and played for an awful team last year. Lee, Pujols, and Berkman would be more likely to benefit.
And defensive numbers are pretty primitive, especially for first basemen and catchers; making outs on balls hit to them is just part of what they do, so they don’t fit the models that the metrics are based on. I think the burden of proof would be on someone trying to prove they have very different defensive ability.
Your argument is well-intentioned
but lacks some reasoning. Gonzalez has EVERY reason to be recognized by a popularity contest if he’s unknown. Being recognized means more money in his next contract, for the very least of reasons.
by northernsails on May 13, 2009 8:57 PM CDT up reply actions
The contest isn't decided by the player
It’s decided by the voters (sportswriters I think). Popularity contest awards are won by players that are already popular. That’s the meaning of the term.

baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
he'll only say
that this means that Soto is back on the juice. Not that he has any evidence.

Ok, we have the lead
Much as I’d love to spend all night teeing off, let’s get into the 5th so this game counts
Young's fly ball style isn't gonna work with this park/wind
HR Derby tonight
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.
Freel
Ks, after having a 3-0 count. End of the inning. Soto’s HR makes it 5-2 Cubs!
One more, and it’s just like last night. Which, I believe, I predicted.

I'm amazed
he’s still in. On the other hand, that would mean turning it over to the Pads’ bullpen.

Wow
Giles lines it to Lee at knee height, Lee makes the catch! Three good solid outs!

And THAT dear children
is why DLee is better than Gonzalez at defense
Ach!
You can’t prove much of anything in baseball on the basis of one play. It’s about how you do on a sustained basis.
Yes, Derrek Lee is good at defense (IMHO, and in that of many others). Apparently lots of writers think Gonzales is, too! We may be in for an entertaining display of great defense in the right corner of the infield! Let’s stop making poorly grounded, compative arguments and enjoy some baseball!
Lilly was one of Jimbos better signings...
will be interesting to see what happens if harden stays healthy
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42
Lilly is listening.

Yeah and it appears as though any delay would be significant
lets get this last inning in
too early for a fanpost but
isn’t Lilly’s contract up after this year? And do the Cubs sign him again?
