#1. Theriot can not steal third....ever.
#2. Why in the heck are they moving the runners with a power hitter up? If it's the bottom of the order, it might make sense. I just can't even comprehend what Lou was thinking.

Wow, what an utterly horrendous job of managing by Fredi Gonzalez. Removes Hermida, one of the better defensive RFers in baseball, to move Ross over from CF, but leaves one of the worst defensive OFers in L.Gonzo who botches Soriano's 2B. Then leaves Pinto in to face 4 straight rightys when sinkerballing Kensing is up and ready in the pen. That's Baker-esque.

Submitted by big_lowitzki
on Sun, 08/17/2008 - 3:34pm

The purpose of double switches is so that the pitcher's slot does not come up soon.

If they would have pulled L. Gonzalez, the pitcher would have gone into that slot and been up 4th the next inning.

It wasn't a defensive substitution - it was a batting order substitution.

Now... leaving Pinto in? That is a whole different issue.

Submitted by crunch

going by the #s, pinto has handled righties much better this year.

but that's what happens when you manage strictly by the numbers in some cases.

Guzman update.

3 IP's, 1 h, 1 BB, 3K's, no runs and 4/2 GO/FO.

Anyone think Pinhead and Hendry will have the zygotes to DFA Howry?

Submitted by Andrew
on Sun, 08/17/2008 - 4:08pm

Rosters expand in less than two weeks. Howry may not be very trustworthy but he can at least be depth until October. Plus, Guzman has quite the injury history. I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be with relieving corps of basically Guzman, Samardzija, Cotts, Marmol, and Wood.

Submitted by The Real Neal
on Sun, 08/17/2008 - 4:17pm

If Howry is useless, odds are he's not going to pitch meaningful innings. I can't see the advantage of keeping him around, he's a FA after the season, right?

Submitted by Andrew
on Sun, 08/17/2008 - 4:26pm

I guess because I don't think he's completely useless. No, I wouldn't use him in a tight game (although I'm not sure Lou feels the same) but he can still be an innings-eater and throw strikes (and gopher balls). If needed, for example, he could have pitched the eighth or ninth today.

Submitted by The Real Neal
on Sun, 08/17/2008 - 4:30pm

Yeah, but Guzman, Wuertz and Ascaino can all do the same thing, and more maybe give us something good for the playoffs and 2009.

Submitted by Andrew
on Sun, 08/17/2008 - 4:40pm

True, although, at least a few weeks ago, both Wuertz and Ascanio weren't doing too well. I would certainly be in favor of seeing what they can do, however, even if it requires a "phantom" DL stint for Howry until rosters expand. Howry certainly has his faults -- the HR ball the worst of them. But what he tends to not do (and what Wuertz, Marmol, etc. will on occasion do) is just melt down and walk two or three guys in a row. I'm not really arguing to use Howry in any meaningful situation, but at least keep him around until you're sure you don't need him esp. with September almost upon us.

Submitted by 10man
on Mon, 08/18/2008 - 5:06am

Are you kidding? Having Cotts, Samardzija, Marmol and Wood to cover innings 7-9 is an awesome bullpen. Throw Marshall and Lilly in there and we have a very strong relief staff built to shut teams down in short playoff series. Z, Dempster and Harden are as tough a starting 3 as any.

Submitted by Andrew
on Mon, 08/18/2008 - 7:26am

I agree it could be very good, but you're talking about one guy who until recently wasn't much good (Cotts), one guy who's just started his major career (the Shark), and two guys that can be lights out and can also be, albeit rarely, completely off (Marmol and Woody). Throw the oft-injured Guzman in there and you've got a potentially great but also potentially volatile bullpen.

Colvin update too. As AZ Phil has been mentioning, he's starting to hit again now that he's taking fewer pitches. After a double and triple last night he's up to .301 .326 .545 for the 2nd half. He's ISO OBP is down from .061 in the first half.

While I am at it, Vitters has 17 hits in his last 10 games and is at .347 .385 .521 on the strength of a league leading (sheesh) 17 doubles (190 AB's), he turns 19 later this month. His 22 year old left side of the infield partner is cruising along at .314 .397 .536

Submitted by The Real Neal
on Mon, 08/18/2008 - 12:38pm

No.

I am saying Dempster is more consistent. If you're confident 2 or 3 runs over 6 or 7 innings is going to get the job done, then go with Dempster. If you think you need to have 1 or 0 runs over 7 innings, go with Z, and know there's a chance that you'll lose 7-1.

As I pointed out in Parachat the other day, Z is our new stopper. Every time we get a 4 game winning streak, he stops it.

Submitted by nohit
on Mon, 08/18/2008 - 2:31pm

As of right now, Demp is definitely the guy I want starting when the series is on the line. He's only had one bad outing this year (2.1 IP, 8 ER vs the Sox). Otherwise, the Cubs have been in every game he pitches, and at least half of those were fairly dominating performances.

Dempster and Harden are the guys who give me the most confidence this year. Lilly has actually been quite good in terms of keeping the team in each ball game (particularly after April), but he gives up too many homers for me to feel really comfortable with his starts. Z can be the most dominating of them all, but you never know if you're going to get good Z or bad Z.

Submitted by Charlie
on Mon, 08/18/2008 - 9:03am

Speaking of Brenly, I wonder if AZ Phil has any info on why a guy his size hasn't yet figured out to generate much power. He's a big dude, and he's been able to hit for average and take walks, but he has yet to take advantage of his large frame. Then again, maybe that's what they'll teach him in the instructional league. Maybe they'll teach Vitters how to throw accurately to first base while they're at it. If we get really lucky, they'll teach Burke and Harvey how to throw a changeup and a slider...

I remember wondering a few years ago if anyone had ever been intentionally walked with the bases loaded. I figured it must have happened at some point, and I haven't thought about it since.

I guess it happened last night - the Rays walked Josh Hamilton intentionally to keep him from hitting a game-tying grand slam.

http://tinyurl.com/68hwbc

Ultimately, the game came down to Maddon's decision on whether to pitch to Josh Hamilton with the bases loaded and two outs. Rather than risk Hamilton hitting a grand slam that would have tied the game, Maddon elected to have Grant Balfour issue an intentional pass, which scored the Rangers' fourth run and brought the winning run to the plate in the form of Marlon Byrd. Fortunately for the Rays, Dan Wheeler came in to pitch to Byrd and struck him out swinging to end the game.

I suppose if you're going to have an IBB specialist on staff, he may as well have a built-in nickname.

Piniella can go with super-sub Mike Fontenot, who's slugging at a .519 clip and has enough glove skill to play several different positions.

and

If Theriot needs a night off and DeRosa is working the outfield, Fontenot has him covered at short, with Ronny Cedeno (.277) more than capable of having a big game at second.

Don't let the truth get in the way of your story angle, Mr. Hill.

another fun one..

Johnson can play center if the Cubs are hitting against a southpaw that might give Edmonds trouble (not likely, based on history) or hold down the fort in left when Soriano is down.

Edmonds with a .724 OPS vs lefties over the last 3 years, .484 this season.

Submitted by blockhead25
on Mon, 08/18/2008 - 1:55pm

Just for arguments sake, couldn't Edmonds steep decline this year in OPS vs lefties be a result of having many fewer opportunities against lefties this year so he might lose the delivery from lefties?

Submitted by The Real Neal
on Mon, 08/18/2008 - 2:01pm

It's most likely to do with the fact that he got his PA's versus lefties with the Padres when he wasn't hitting anyone, but his 3 year split prior to this season show a .868 vs .724 split, with a Jacque like .225 BA against lefties.

Submitted by Rob G.

the .724 was bad enough, just showing this year's numbers in case his idea of history was 2008.

Submitted by The Real Neal

What about:

"The third hole can be occupied by first-year Cub Kosuke Fukudome, who has chilled considerably after a fast start, but uses commendable patience to maintain a high on-base percentage. Jim Edmonds, the former St. Louis Cardinal who hit miserably during an early run as a San Diego Padre, can hit third now while answering what had been a big question mark in center field. "?

I mean, Ronny Cedeno and Henry Blanco can bat third as well... but they don't. Fukudome and Edmonds have a grand total of 0 PA's batting third. Blanco has 2 (3.500 OPS) and Cedeno has 3 (3.000 OPS). If we go by the Soriano theory, the only reason these guys aren't destined to be inner circle Hall of Famers is they haven't been given enough bats in their comfortable lineup spot.

Submitted by blockhead25
on Mon, 08/18/2008 - 2:00pm

Yeah, I think the bottom line point of the article is good. What's seperating the Cubs isn't that they have a dominant 3-4 punch, it's that they have an incredibly steady lineup 1-8. But the details he lists in the article seems pretty clear that he hasn't seen the Cubs more than a few times this year.

Submitted by Rob G.

Matt LaPorta has been hospitalized after being hit on the helmet by a pitch Monday during the United States' win over China in the Olympics.

LaPorta knocked China's catcher out of the game during a fifth-inning collision at the plate and the next inning Nate Schierholtz collided with his replacement. China manager Jim Lefebvre was ejected from the game and LaPorta was hit by a fastball in the seventh inning, as the ball deflected off his shoulder into his helmet. Pitcher Zhen Xu was ejected and the U.S. team was hit by a total of five pitches in a 9-1 victory. "He never lost consciousness," Indians general manager Mark Shapiro said. "He's been held for observation. He will have spent at least a day in the hospital." Shapiro declined to say whether LaPorta would rejoin the Olympic team once he's released from the hospital.

I'm not laughing, that story is true. For those of us lucky enough to have watched Santo play, he was far and away the best defensive 3rd bagger to play for the team in many decades.

Subscription articles suck.

But Cliff Lee wouldn't be a bad pick - should win the Cy Young and an added MVP would be nice.

The AL MVP voting is tough...

You have Lee and Halliday on the pitching side.

You have Morneau, Quintin, Kinsler, Hamilton, Bradley, Youkilis, Sizemore, and ARod on the offensive side.

No one has really set themselves apart from the rest. And it is pretty ridiculous that the Rangers have three of the top eight (or so) hitters in the league this year. And the Indians could have the best pitcher (Cliff Lee) and the best all around player (Sizemore) and still be awful.

I have to admit that I like the MVP's coming from competitive teams. If Morneu were to win again, it would be the second time that he's won without being the best player on his team (though the gap with Mauer is closing). I would guess that right now it's Hamilton and Quentin, but the AL voters are even barmier than the NL voters, so it's hard to say.
