Cubs (9-16) vs. Los Angeles Dodgers 5/4-5/6 Series Discussion Thread

[dabynsky]

They have to make up the one with the Reds that was rained out, so that series win/loss is pending.

That series is over. The game will probably get tacked onto another time they face the Reds making a three game series into a four game series. We've won two and drawn two series. Which considering the teams they've played against is pretty impressive. Man it will be nice to see the Pirates, Astros, and Padres in a week or two.

We'll go 1-10 against them.

I wouldn't be shocked by that. The Pirates had our number last year and the Astros are playing good ball. That said there is a pretty sizeable talent gap between those clubs and the ones that we have been facing to start the year.

According to Randy Peterson's twitter:

My boy Campana rips 2 doubles into the gaps. Who saids he dont have enough power

Everyone including Tony Campana himself says he doesn't have enough power, but it was nice to see. One of the doubles was a pure hustle play that had little to do with power.

It was in the gap. Thats my point though cause of his speed and hustle he dont have to power. His singles turn into doubles and triples. He just needs to have OBP around .340 and he a legit top of order hitter. He changes the game with his legs. With runs down across the league fast guys will be playing more important roles.

How about you share some of that love with Ian Stewart who was sick and delivered a clutch pinch hit for the Cubs to get his average above the Mendoza line, d3a?

.340 is not a legit top of the order hitter... that's lower than Albert Pujols' SLG

Spoiler

Oh wait a minute, his SLG is even lower than that! :lmao: .196 average, .237 OBP, .295 SLG, .532 OPS LULZ. LaHair's SLG is about 200 points higher than Pujols' OPS :lmao:
