Comon Gooz. Solidify your spot in the rotation. If you lose it now it could be a long time until you get another chance. aka 2 starts. :wink: :lol:

Dear Cubs,

 

Taking walks obviously leads to runs. Please keep doing it.

 

Thank you.

Dear Cubs,

 

Walking obviously leads to runs. Please keep doing it.

 

Thank you.

 

Make sure you direct that to the hitters.

Sweep the Gnasty Gnats please.

Sweep the Gnasty Gnats please.

 

I just had a flashback to that game against the D'Backs in 04 or 03 where the park (the whole Chicago area, actually) was just flooded with bugs.

What does ERA+ mean?

 

http://www.baseball-reference.com/about/pitch_glossary.shtml

 

ERA+ - the ratio of the league's ERA (adjusted to the pitcher's ballpark) to that of the pitcher. > 100 is above average and < 100 is below average.

 

 

Think of it as being sort of like an IQ scale. 100 = league average

You managed to make it past 1700 posts without figuring it out... on this board? We must be losing our touch.

Take a look at Rich Hill's in the previous game thread and tell me if you have your answer. ;)

I got this. :D

Why do we go to Guzman after Hill? Shouldn't it be Lilly? Either way, whatever, it'd be nice to see Guzman start after a long layover.

 

Btw, Cubs lose in a non-competitive game. 6-2 on a late Aramabomb to save us from the shutout.

Lou has been waiting to break up the two left-handers in the rotation ever since they got put together. Plus, they decided that they'd rather let Guzman get his first start out of the way at home against a worse offense than have to face a team like the Phillies at their place for his first start.

A sweep and a winning record? I'll take it.
