It's simple BT.
Soriano's postseason batting stats as a Cub: 3 for 28, 0 XBH, 1BB, 8k's and he averaged roughly 3 pitches per plate appearance.

Unfortunately, not many of our guys have been any better.
Soto and Ramirez have been especially bad as well, even Marmol has been awful.
I think the Soriano hate has more to do with his contract for most. I agree with Giff though, he will be fine. Not much anyone can do about a broken hand on a HBP, and without it he would have had great numbers last year.
Hopefully he, and everyone else, will pull their heads out of their asses in future postseasons.
