4/17 Cubs (Miller) vs. Fathers (Maddux), 1:20 pm CT, WGN

[soapy]

I'm excited about Gooz being sent down if the intent is to get him ready to start again. He's really starting to round into form.

If that's the plan, fine by me. I won't hold my breathe.

 

it's the only thing that makes sense

 

I guess I've become a little cynical with this organization. I'll believe it when I see it.

[CubColtPacer]

Anyone have the feeling that Wade is going to have a pretty good outing today to sort of complicate the issue now-something like 5 innings, 2 runs?

moment of silence...

[seanimal]

Guzman down? Of course. :x

 

So I guess, barring injury, Miller gets at least one more start after today regardless of performance. Guzman will have to stay down 10 days if there aren't any injuries.

 

<-------------not happy

 

The likelihood is that Guzman would have a hard time getting stretched out enough to start on Sunday anyway. Now he possibly has a minor league start in between, and that will make it much easier to make a move if the organization thinks that he can pitch enough innings.

 

I wonder if they figured this out say, around the 8th or 9th inning of yesterday's game, and is perhaps the reason Gooz didn't go 3 innings.

It's a good idea to put the best players on the field together. This is starting to happen.

I hope he pitches great. It would be a nice problem to have. If he does something like your scenario though (5 innings/2 runs) it wouldn't complicate things to me. He would have to be very good today and next week for me to consider keeping him there over Guzman.

More like 2 IP, 5 runs and the Cobs still win.

Albert Pujols sucks this year. That's enjoyable to know.

as long as the demotion is to stretch him out i am cool...if not then if you aren't gonna put soriano on the dl they should DA ohman cuz Oh man he sucks...

[soapy]

I also think the more time Murton gets in RF, the closer Jones gets to being traded. I have to think Murton is getting time there so he can stay there if/when Jones is traded. Soriano in left, Pie in center, Murton in right. That does cause a problem with what to do with Floyd though. He probably can't play RF.

god i hope not cuz they just sent the long man gooz down to iowa to stretch him out hopefully

[Bixby]

Anyone ever count the number of commercial breaks WGN gets in in the 20 minutes between the leadoff man and the first pitch?

If he keeps it up all year, I'll gladly sacrifice the black hole on my fantasy team and take credit for his down year :D

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Miller looked like Chet Steadman throwing those warmup pitches.

First pitch strike
