I don't mind leaving Z in either-his pitch count isn't absurdly high, and your ace has to be given a little latitude-this is a low pressure situation to give him some latitude to work it out with a 3 run lead and nobody on. Next batter to get on Carlos will get pulled.

 

BTW, that's one under-rated thing that I think the Cubs missed last year when Lee went down-his defense can really help the pitcher. That's 2 plays resulting in 3 extra outs for the Cubs pitchers just today.

 

you mean Todd Walker wasn't good with the glove at first base???? :lol:

What happened to not overworking the pitchers? Why does this not apply to Z??

 

I don't think he was over worked. Lou was probably hoping he'd have a quick inning... It would have helped to lower his ERA if he hadn't given up the homer--still a quality start.

I agree about the quality start.

I didn't think Walker was that bad with the glove last year at first. He did a good job of making the routine plays, which is the most important part, but he just doesn't have the range of somebody like Lee to snag those possible doubles down the line or the very underrated long stretch of Lee's that can make the difference on those bang bang plays at first base.

I, for one, do not miss Phil Nevin.
