he has his moments
he does have pretty nice stuff. He just gets behind too often and nibbles.
The nibbling is what gets him in trouble, methinks
Consensus seems to be that he should attack the zone more.

Heilaman can be an effective setup man
He just needs to start trusting his ability. He has sharp movement on his pitches and if he learns to go after the hitter he will easily become a reliable setup man.
I am actually starting to have some confidence in heilman
Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living."
I think we're very close to having a good top to bottom pitching staff..
One more lock-down late-inning guy would be good. But who knows… Marshall, Guzman, Gregg, Marmol, Heilman, (insert someone else from iowa/trade) – I can live with that.

an 0-4 would be rough.

Maybe Sori-Riot-Lee-Bradley can put something together this inning?

Get him out of the lineup
He is literally the worst hitter on this team, pitchers included.
DEJESUS!!!
unfortunately
today he might have been the worst hitter in the lineup.
He's not very bright IMHO, and someone needs to tell him about heavy/light bats
and pitch selection. He’s not that young and talented anymore.

Clearly he is injured.
He should have been on the 15 day DL earlier on. This is why I am pissed at Lou (for playing Fonz and benching Fuld).
not sure I want to open this bag but,
what can we do?
Bench him til Fuld goes cold
Steal his bats, have a bon fire and make him buy new ones… hopefully he gets ones that don’t weigh more than he does this time.

With the all star break coming up
and Fuld having a hot hand I hope Lou gives Sori some more rest and hopefully he will get hot again after the ASB. Unless he gets voted in then I don’t know what to do about that.

If you go with Soto there, then you have spent your back-up catcher in a potential extra inning game. Baker was the right call. Now they still have Soto for later.

Your signature line doesn’t go along with your mentality on this one…
Then leave Soto in to catch and let him PH

There's about a 1/4 chance Soto gets a hit, and about a 2/5 chance he gets on base.
I know the odds of needing a backup catcher are pretty slim, but if you need one you need one. I wouldn’t want to see Jake Fox or Carlos Marmol in that situation.

its not even worth getting angry at him. Gregg i believe in his last inning gave up all decently hit fly balls. That is of equal concern

I just figured that those who love stats like UZR would know how something like that are scored. As one who always brings plays like this up as a reason why I have my doubts about UZR, I was TRYING TO LEARN. See, that is what people with open minds do—they try to learn when the opportunity presents itself.

I don't think anyone
was advocating for it to be a permanent thing… but a DL stint for Sori – when there’s obviously something wrong, would be nice.
I think Sori
needs rest. But he can’t start hitting again without playing.

Sori doesn’t need to go on the DL, he needs to get some at bats and break out of it

Because the continuous at-bats
That he’s been getting, in which he hasn’t hit, because there is something wrong with him (knees) he’s just going to magically start hitting by continuing to play?
if that's what the problem is
then he should be on the DL. I have to believe that Lou is not subservient to his players, and therefore sat Sori to give him some rest, and then put him back out there to start hitting again.

by drewishdrewid on Jul 3, 2009 4:11 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't think subservience has anything to do with it
But I CAN see it being the case, given what we know about Sori, for him to lie and say that he’s fine, that his knees aren’t that bad, because he wants to play everyday and feels responsible for the offense with Rami out. Unless a guy is physically unable to walk, it’s hard for trainers / managers to know how bad pain is if the player won’t tell them.
Lou's been a manager for a long time.
I have to believe he sees through that.

I wouldn't be surprised
if the benching for two days had to do with it, but ultimately, Lou might WANT Sori to be healthier than he is, because if he is healthy, his bat is very useful
well,
maybe that’s true too. I think that if we win today, he sits tomorrow.

I just want him on the DL
because I really do think he’s hurt and I think that might help him. Imagine going up there for every at-bat with your knees aching in the back of your head… how are you supposed to concentrate on the strike zone?
I think that's extreme, I hope no one is serious about that
I do think if a guy is on a tear, OF who are struggling might need to sit a game
