Steve Trachsel hates leads.

[Bull]

Meh, better a solo shot.

 

Trachsel needs to stop doing this to me.

 

Just pitch 2 more friggin' innings you make it look like the hardest friggin thing to do.

 

He's given the team a 2.70 ERA (sure it's been ugly) thus far, I'm stunned and rather pleased.

CUBS are 8-28 when the opponent hits at least 2 HRs.... 66-43 when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Only against the Cubs can a guy get their 3rd and 4th home runs against. Just get 1 more out and hit the showers Steve.

[Mizzou]

Damnit.

 

Whoa, what a butch that was that caught that ball!

[aerosmith21]

Please Lou take him out after this inning!!!

[TruffleShuffle]

God this guy is terrible

[Schwarber Fan]

Loretta... ha

 

wow

[kylescubs23]

Seriously, Loretta in back-to-back games. You gotta be kidding.

[BigSlick]

Cubs will not have the lead when Steve Trachsel leaves this ball game.

 

 

 

:?

[DiamondMind]

you know its bad if the pbp guys are debating whether its a homer or not in different parks. wtf does that have to do with the pitch that created the HR being a 84mph waffle right down the middle of the [expletive] plate

[Fred Hornkohl]

Munson walked

[E.J.]

How is this guy a major league pitcher? This is awful.

[BigSlick]

I will be FURIOUS if Trachsel comes back in the 5th.

[Guest]

C'mon, Trax. Just get one more out before anymore damage is inflicted.

[DiamondMind]

I think in guantanamo the cubs game is being shown to the inmates

hey, we agree on something! see, trachsel isnt all bad

[E.J.]

Trachsel better be taken out if he somehow makes it through this inning. He's been absolutely terrible, and we're lucky to still have the lead.

[CubFanPhilly]

Enough already.

[justin23iu]

Ya know, when Hendry made the Trachsel trade I tried to rationalize it in my mind every way I could. "We didn't have to give up too much." "Well, he's been pitching well lately, maybe he can help out down the stretch." "I guess it would be good if Marshall got a rest." But forget all that. It was just a stupid, stupid trade. I can't possibly fathom why he is on this team.

Steve Trachsel hates leads.

 

and these cans.

[DiamondMind]

Question: If Andy Pratt was the only available reliever, do you bring him into the game to start the 5th?

[BigSlick]

Trachsel, IT CAN'T BE THAT HARD TO RETIRE THE PITCHER

 

JUST GET IT DONE

GET AWAY FROM THE CANS
