When is Pie going to play?

Lou keeps him in his doghouse along with Murton

 

Pie is in a bit of quandry when it comes to PT.

 

He would get some PT against right-handers, but the Cubs have a million guys to hit against RH's (Jones, Floyd, Ward, and Murton are all ahead of Pie).

 

Against left-handers, the Cubs have a shortage of OF's, but Pie is the absolute worst Cubs OF against left-handed starters, so he's not likely to play there either.

 

That's actually why Pie went down the first time and Pagan came up-there simply isn't that much room for Pie to play right now considering his skill set and the skill sets of those who he'd be replacing. Pagan at least was able to slightly fill the hole against left-handers. Pie will likely still be the starter next year, but he will continue to have a hard time finding time right now.

Well I know I didn't want him up there against Lincecum and definitely not against Zito.

 

Nice leather by Ramirez that inning.
