hey guys remember when Jacque Jones hit home runs?

 

has he really hit one before?

 

I heard a rumor that he use to.

 

I try to block out everything from 2006, so as far as I know JJ has only hit two homers as a Cub.

I've blocked all of 06 except the game where Barrett had a GS against StL, so in my book, Jacque has three has a Cub.

I'd hardly say that my concern is reactionary based on today's performance. Hill, Marshall and Marquis have all been inconsistent.

 

I have a lot of confidence in this team making the post season. Once there I think they will struggle. I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade I'd just like to see them have a solid chance at advancing and not just make an appearance in the playoffs.

 

How is Marshall inconsistent?

 

OK, I guess he has yet to prove a leaning towards inconsistency and if the playoffs started today I would slot him as the #3 starter. I'm still not comfortable with that.

 

Why? 2 bad outings all year.

 

I'm not saying the guy is a bad pitcher. I'm just not confident that he is enough to round out the back end of a playoff rotation. Especially when they will probably need four starters. Then they'll have to roll the dice with Hill or Marquis.

7-3 after 3 feels a lot better than 7-1.

 

Hopefully the bullpen can pull out another shutout from here on out.

How good would Soto look batting right now?

 

fixed

 

That works too.

 

i said that because Barrett has been brutal for the Padres (236/236(!)/303). He's had a Jock-esque nosedive from his 2006 numbers.

Come on...Anthony Reyes and Adam Wainwright did just fine.
