09/04 L.A. (Penny) @ CUBS (Trachsel) 7:05pm, CSN-TV

[Schwarber Fan]

man those 5 games with St Louis are either going to be very great, or kill a lot of us.

 

I hate how 4 of them are in STL

[Soul]

Trach is definitely doing his job, I wish the damn offense would pick him up .

 

I know. I just wish he would have been able to get a couple more critical outs with 2 out.

[Omar]

Trachsel with a quality start... Also a Spot Start. Please don't blame him.

[weatherdood]

A quality start for Trachsel...This loss is NOT on him.

[C.C.]

boy am i glad we picked up trachsel

 

He's looked better then any of our starters lately.

 

Not Rich Hill. But yeah Trachsel isn't getting hit hard, he's been pretty unlucky.

 

Pierre, Penny, and Furcal smoked the ball

 

Just cause Furcal didn't bloop the ball in there didn't mean they smoked the ball.

 

I know but they were all hard hit balls

 

2 of them were ground balls, Penny's as gameday put it was a soft line drive. They weren't infield singles, but they weren't what I'd call smoked either.

 

they were all hit hard.

 

Regardless, he hasn't pitched that bad. At least he pitched 6 innings and kept us into the game.

[Alfonso Soriano]

This is a great game if you like rally killing double plays and warning track power.

Oh, that is every Cub game.

I might quit my job and move out of the state if the Cardinals win the division.

 

I wouldn't worry about updating your resume.

[Omar]

so do the bears have a chance in san diego this weekend?

 

hell yes

Their offense may suck but it is nothing like this

 

If Good Rex shows up the Bears offense can be quite explosive, actually.

 

Testify Soul Testify!!!!

 

If they can stop the run like they did in the NFC Championship, they'll have the W.

Hey Fred!!

Whats our record when the pitcher has a quality start?

[circlecitycub]

Nice job, Trachs.

 

Lee, Ramirez and Ward. It's time to do some damage.

he was lucky to only give up three, but he did better than i thought he would.

If he was Rich Hill you'd call it a masterpiece.

Hey Fred!!

CUBS are 50-18 when they get a quality start.... 20-48 when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

[[-o<]Ramirez and Ward will go back to back[/[-o<]

[Guest]

He was lucky (but it seems like he has been for a while), but I'll take a QS out of Trachsel.

 

Would be nice if the Cubs could get more than 1 against a struggling Penny. Saito will be nasty against this offense.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Come on Derrek

[CubColtPacer]

That's a typical Trachsel outing right there. 6 innings of a decent outing. He typically can never shut down a team, nor does he blow up very often.

 

BTW, for those that like the QS stat (which is mixed on this board), That's 5 in a row for Trachsel and he would have 7 in a row except he went 5 2/3 in one game.

We don't need this...

I'm not Fred, but the quality start record is 50-18, and the starters have a 1.75 ERA cumulative in those quality starts.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Derrek Lee strikes out

[C.C.]

Penny's rollin'.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Tonight is only the 2nd quality start in the last 7 games for the CUBS.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Too bad getting opposing pitchers back on track is our speciality.
