This place has turned into more of a piss and moan circus rather than an actual game discussion.
That tends to happen when the team gets...pwned.

He had a chance to drive in a run every freakin time he was up!!
It’s called a HOME RUN and it’s about time somebody on this team starting hitting some. Relying on 3 singles and a sac fly to score a run doesn’t cut. Sooner or later, somebody’s gotta swing a BIG bat.

by RightFieldSucks on Jun 17, 2009 4:06 PM CDT up reply actions
Id say that this team is comparably underperforming
to last years Yankees, and probably worse from an offensive standpoint. But last years Yankees were an absolute joke.
I guess I'd disagree
But my expectations of Miles, Fonty, Dome, Bradley, et al are just much lower than most. So I actually think we’re seeing what Hendry paid for, essentially.

+1, to a degree
but I didn’t expect to see Soriano plummet like this, and while I thought Soto repeating last year’s numbers might have been a stretch, I didn’t expect him to fall off a cliff.
A little from column A, a little from column B
by WanderingWanderer on Jun 17, 2009 4:11 PM CDT up reply actions
Soto.
was going to have a hard time duplicating last year, espcially coming into camp overweight.
I did expect better from the two of them, though, also. It’s just that overall, I thought the offense probably WOULD struggle, mostly due to the aforementioned players and overall RISP problems thereof, and am not all that surprised.
Still….at some point you expect every offense to play over their heads for some stretch of time — so WHAT THE HELL, MAN!?!?!?!?!

Despite all the strikeouts, Sox still saw way more pitches than the Cubs. Sox 165, Cubs 122.

Piniella
This is only partly Piniella’s fault and much less blame should be pointed at him than every single one of the players right now. But that said, he’s paid to manage and when he pulls the “What can I do?” routine out of the hat, it’s time to tell him he’s done. Trained chimpanzees can sit there and do nothing. If he doesn’t have the sack to sit Soriano or Soto or Fontenot or Bradley or Miles down for an extended period of time, then his value as a manager is absolutely zero. There are other options…perhaps not better ones, but options nonetheless. And if guys like the aforementioned are going to continue to fail to contribute, you move on with someone else.

Matter of opinion
I really think there is a pile of evidence that it’s far worse than “cold”. It’s an epidemic of guys either in the middle of career lows, or their careers are now in decline. It’s really that simple. They are averaging less than 3 runs per game over the last 27 games, the first of which started their 8 game slide. That’s not cold…that’s atrocious.
So what do you do? Whatever you can which includes sitting anyone and everyone that isn’t hitting. Is that rash? Probably. But the only other options is to sit there with a hand full of fools gold that these guys are going to hit.
I’m tired of the “small sample size” argument. The sample size above shows that through 44% of the games this year, the Cubs are averaging consecutively less than 3 runs. Start by benching Soriano and Soto. Next up is Bradley and Fontenot. Lastly, find somewhere other than a baseball diamond to hide Aaron Miles.
But if you think it’s ugly now, wait until Ramirez comes back and if he doesn’t immediately hit and provide a spark, this season is going to get beyond ass-ugly.
Who needs a stinkin' tag line? What are they for anyway?
But just about EVERYONE isn't hitting.
You have to put nine players on the field.
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
Obviously
I should have been clearer. Starting tomorrow, put anyone on their roster named Soriano and Fontenot on the bench and replace them with Fox and Blanco. No sure bets to improve but worth a shot.
Next, if that doesn’t work, sit down Bradley and Miles…for an extended period of time. If that doesn’t work, move on to the next hitter in the middle of a career worst year. There are plenty of them to find.
The only other option is to sit there and do what Lou’s doing….throw up his hands. To me, that’s not the way to manage.
Who needs a stinkin' tag line? What are they for anyway?
Bradley's already missed enough time as it is.
You don’t sit him for an extended period unless he’s hurt. I do agree Soriano needs to either sit or go on the DL in favor of Fox. Fontenot can hit RHP; he should face those pitchers, not Blanco, who’s not a good hitter. The only reason Fontenot is facing LHP is because there’s no one here to play third base.

I suppose technically it can’t get “worse” but it sure as hell can continue to be just as absolutely atrocious as its been. I keep pointing it out but it’s fools gold to suggest these guys are going to hit just because their track record is as such. If they’re in the middle of a “track record regression” they better do something other than just wait around for guys to hit.

There are some things that make sense
but anyway one looks at it – being at the bottom of the NL with success at RISP, plus an empty out in the lead-off position, is obviously a formula for disaster.
I do not know if Lou has the energy anymore, as Al pointed to previously, to deal with this.
Reed Johnson had 4 LOB by himself today. He should have been playing more during Dome’s abysmal slump. Soto, I agree, needs some days off. He K’s or pops out, way too much to be in the 5 hole – and, it seems as if he is losing balls in the dirt more than I recall.
Miles – TWO YEARS?! Hendry!!!! You’re FIRED!
So – I suggest we all start a letter writing campaign to the GM and Crane Kenny. Who have not been found much these days.
Less than three RPG? This cannot continue. UGH!

Cubs By The Numbers
Cubs By The Numbers is a history of the ballclub by uniform number, but the biographies help trace the history of our beloved team in a new way. For everyone who's a Cubs fan, anyone who ever wore the uniform is like family. Cubs By The Numbers reintroduces readers to some of their long-lost ancestors, even ones they think they already know.
