i must say
i can be frustrated by Riot when he starts swinging for the fences, but he has improved his extra base hitting and sometimes, its a beautiful thing.
it wouldve been a homer in wrigley :D

got to give Lou some credit for that, it has added a different dimension to his game....his extra base hits
used to be placed down the right field line, now he is pulling he ball when they give him that….it helps with the fielders “cheating” up the middle
agree
batting avg is only down marginally, but although i dont have the number his slugging has to be up a bunch.
2008 slugging: 359
2009 slugging: 407

that is why it wouldn't shock me if he hit Aramis on purpose.
You can tell he does not fully understand the nuances off the game and what are the right and wrong situations to hit someone. D-Lee just took him deep he was frustrated and angry. Maybe he was thinking back to the Hanley being hit. Last night him and koyie hill had stare down after he acted like he won world series closing out a 3 run game.

Too cute by half on the Soriano swaps
I don’t like swapping guys around in the middle of an inning like that. Baker is a competent fielder, he can handle it. Soriano loses what little focus he has.
Hmm...Lou swapped him with a left hander at bat.
Has Baker played 2nd base before? Seemed like a move to get a better defender at 2nd where a screamer could be hit.
by Sandberg's evil twin on Aug 1, 2009 10:32 PM CDT up reply actions
Per Trib Lou was moving Baker to handle a righty or lefty.
I guess Baker must have played 2nd in the minors, cause otherwise you have to think Fonzie would be better there.

I know how you feel.
We don’t need to lose him again for any stretch of time!
Watching it on WGN, the trainers were holding his jersey just to get him pay attention to them, so I am inclined to think that it is heat related. He was doubled over at second, and wasn’t complaining about his elbow…

My guess - we'll know more tomorrow
If it is broken, he’ll need x-rays to determine the extent of the injury.
If it’s not, they are treating it now with ice and we will know more tomorrow.
I think I speak for everyone here when I say, "Wait, what the hell are you talking about?"
Unless he left the game due to something else.
Which is what it appeared to be.
Its funny, you spend most of your life gripping a baseball. And in the end, its almost always the other way around.
I'm not trying to just sugar coat it.
But I really think it was something heat related. I would think they would have at least looked at his arm. He was pointing at his head.
Its funny, you spend most of your life gripping a baseball. And in the end, its almost always the other way around.
I hope so...
But like it was mentioned before, often times when you break a bone, you can get dizzy and nauseous from it. Hopefully this is not the case.

by CubsBullsBears on Aug 1, 2009 11:02 PM CDT up reply actions
My total speculation is just one option...
As we talked about earlier in the post, nausea is sometimes a side effect when someone suffers a broken bone, even a fracture (I personally have had it happened twice.). That is why I am speculating on a broken bone.
I think I speak for everyone here when I say, "Wait, what the hell are you talking about?"
Or the possibility that
nausea set in and its not broken. I’ve been hit by 85 on the elbow, no break, and wanted to hurl. Just hope for the best I guess.
Its funny, you spend most of your life gripping a baseball. And in the end, its almost always the other way around.
But did it actually...
…hit ’im in the elbow? The replay looked like it hit just north of the elbow.
It's definitely possible.
I’m still guessing something heat related based on what I saw on the field. We’ll just have to wait and see.
ARam didnt look himself after the 2nd
three straight Ks is very strange for him, wouldn’t be surprised if the heat was getting to him and eventually knocked him out in the 10th

Pain can do that, specially when you've already been injured recently.
Everytime you add more to it your body as a whole gets closer to overloaded. The way he was sweating when he came out I was sure he was at least dizzy as Bob and Len thought. Trib reported he will play tomorrow…we will see about that, when your body stiffens after sleeping (and any pain killers wear off they may have given him) things may sure change. I’m just ecstatic so far it looks like he wasn’t hurt that much. I think they should keep him out of the starting line up and keep him as a PH just in case…That humidity will just exacerbate pain or stiffness he has.
