Lineup AnalysisWednesday, July 21, 2004The Cubs are playing the Reds as I post this. I'm at work and have the gameday up on one screen while blogging on the second. Although I had to be here to babysit the lab at 2:00, I did get to see the first inning on ESPN and what I saw was typical of the Cubs season. They get two outs, load the bases, and then an out, scoring 0 runs. Now, the Cubs have done this two outs bases loaded bit (sometimes even scoring runs) numberous times this year... and I have also been saying that the Cubs need a #2 hitter... so here are the Cubs stats so far this year, broken down by batting order position.
Splits as of July 20th, from ESPN.com Cubs Splits. Keying on two statistics (OBP and SLG), we see the Cubs failure to get sufficient production from the #2 (and #3) spot. With an OBP of .305 in the second hole, the Cubs are tacking on an extra out right before bringing up their power hitters. Lineup Suggestion: Our current lineup has really been struggling to put up some runs, so I'll suggest this lineup. I don't want to ramble on and on about the lineup, I typically leave that up to Dusty, but I do want to point out some probabilities. All rumors aside, while at work I occasionally have to help people, and so this post has taken a while to create. Its currently (4:58 pm Central) the 8th inning with the Cubs up by 1 run (5-4)... I'm gonna post now, but check back later in a few hours because I will append a second post to this one discussing the game, and hopefully a little chart I've been working on about run consistency. Check that, I got busy and will try to post again tommorrow. (11:55 PM) Posted by Byron at July 21, 2004 2:47 PM
