Well that's it for Hoff in RF it appears

[Clapp]

Lou just said he's gonna be putting Reed in CF and Fuk in RF while Bradley's out, going for better defense instead of the offense. Hoff did look pretty damn awful in RF today, making an error and taking bad routes on two other plays. I wouldn't completely give up on him out there though... but Lou sounded a bit pissed.

[ruby23]

Good.

[kbwsb]

Hoff would be better suited in a semi-platoon with DLee.

Perhaps that's not a bad idea: "The Cubs are 8-0 when playing errorless baseball, 0-6 when making at least one error in a game."

[Giff]

I'm tempted to say trade him. I like him, but this team doesn't have much use for a guy that can only play 1B off the bench.

Hoff looked fine in right until today. Maybe it was luck before, and he was awful today, but Lou seems very reactionary lately, the cubs do in general. Bradley is now gonna hit 6th, there goes the lefty/righty thing they had their balls brimming with juice for all off season. Samardzija has a good week and half in the minors so he's suddenly back up and Vizcaino's out despite not giving up a run. Gregg hasn't actually pitched in a save situation despite being the closer in 2 weeks.

I'm not saying all these moves/decisions are wrong, but Lou needs to let this son-bitch breathe a little bit.

[Ace]

I like the semi-platoon idea with Lee.

Just so I'm clear, Butch and Rok are saying Pinella shouldn't overreact to a few bad things? Butch and Rok? Really?

That's why Lou's the manager and not me. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

I just want Lou to make wise decisions and stick with them. He's being blown around like a windsock right now.
