I sure would feel more confident if the CUBS scored 8 or 10 runs right here.

 

Maybe they want you on the edge of your seat. You might appreciate the wins more. :D

I wouldn't even feel safe then.

 

Don't worry, Trachsel's on the mound. 8-)

 

I don't get all the Trachsel bashing. I know ERA isn't everything, but you have to be doing something right to have a 4.50'ish ERA in the AL East. That's about where Lilly was last year.

 

That stat Len just gave is the reason why people arent thrilled with this move. He has the worst K/bb ratio in all of baseball. That means there are alot of balls put in play along with those walks, so he tends to look for a lot of luck to help him out.

Trachsel improving his K:BB ratio!

 

yeah i'm hardly encouraged when i hear that he has the worst k/bb and k/9 ratios in baseball, but he's "found a way." That's announcer-speak for "been lucky."

But he has to be doing something right.

The K/BB ratio is the biggest thing that concerns me. Hopefully, he'll keep the walks down, but that's definitely no sure thing.

 

The lack of K's shouldn't be awful since we have a very good defensive infield and 2/3rds of a good defensive outfield.

Or hes been getting by on luck, it happens, but not really something you want to count on when in a pennant race.

Trachsel with 37 pitches through 3 innings. Very efficient !!

 

CUBS are 45-20 when their pitchers average 15 pitches per inning or less..... 25-46 when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I don't remember where I read it(BTF I think), but Trachsel's BABIP was in line with the Cubs team BABIP so, as Ender is tirelessly trying to point out, the Cubs defense should be able to prop up Trachsel's numbers. It's not a bad team to have a guy who's pitching to contact, just keep the BBs and HRs down too if you're not gonna K anyone.

Yeah, if he can keep the BB's down, I think he'll do ok in a limited role.
