Here are some interesting stats, mostly splits, for some Cubs as of whenever the last time ESPN updated their splits stats:
- Carlos Zambrano has a better ERA (2.51) than Brandon Webb (2.69) and much higher BA (.366) than Micah Owings (.282)
- Kerry Wood leads the NL in saves.
- Mr. Start's Off Bad Every Year Bob Howry, has a 1.76 ERA in May and a 2.70 ERA in June sofar.
- Reed Johnson is batting 61 points higher against lefties...perfect platoon player.
- Alfonso Soriano is hitting .330 at home and .367 against lefties, but only .233 on the road and .246 against righties
- Jim Edmonds is batting .389/.421/.778 in Wrigley Field this year
- Lou might want to find a new lefty PH as Mike Fontenot is batting .208 w/ RISP this year
- Lefties have only gotten 1 hit, a single, against Scott Eyre this year. And he still hasn't given up a meaningful run since last years ASB
- Through 2 games in June, Michael Wuertz had walked a third of the guys he had all season.
- Ryan Theriot is in 6th place for the MLB batting title...
- ...but his OBP (.412) is still higher than his SLG (.397)
- Cubs pitchers are letting on the leadoff guy only 33.2% of the time and the #2 hitter 29.5%
- Cubs hitters are batting 34 points higher against lefties than they did last season
- Ronny Cedeno hit .225 in May, but is still batting .300
- Carlos Marmol has a 16.20 ERA in Petco Park
- Kosuke Fukudome is batting .200 (7-35) outside of the 5-hole
- Sean Gallagher is 3-0 with a 3.52 ERA in Wrigley this year
- Numebr 4 hitters are batting .172 against Ted Lilly, but number 7 hitters are batting .455
And now my favorite:
- Cubs pitchers are batting higher (.227) than Cubs pinch hitters (.183)
