Among all players with at least 140 IP, only 9 pitchers have higher WHIPs than Trachsel.

 

Great choice, Jim and Lou.

 

I'm honestly stunned there's that many considering how dreadful his walk rate is.

[killthegoat06]

Here comes Hart.

 

Too late

[Outshined_One]

If Will Ohman never pitches for the Cubs again it will be too soon.

 

I bet he'd mow down the Cubs' lineup if he ever pitches against them.

CG SHO

[David]

Honestly, though...Has Lou given any form of reasoning (besides lining up a playoff rotation) for why he started Trachsel today? Or does nobody in the media have the balls to ask a question like, "Why are you pitching a sucky pitcher in the middle of a pennant race?"

[Burtonbell]

So does this Trachsel start go down in memory like Latroy at the end of '04?

 

So much for the "Estes" start. Of course he would probably shut this offense out right now. Terrible. Just terrible.

[salukifudd]

What you guys don't understand is that it takes veteran experience to have the ability to throw a 87 mile an hour fastball down the middle of the plate.

 

 

Stop with the bad jokes. Not you, but everyone who's doing it. It just pisses me off more.

 

Then stop reading, it's the only way for some of us to stay sane.

Not working. Nice try though.

Trachsel did what I expected. Soto's K in the first, pathetic. DLee's second two ABs, pathetic. Craig Monroe, pathetic. Theriot, pathetic. Mike Quade not sending Lee in the first, pathetic. Soriano's inability to do anything but strikeout unless he hits the first pitch, pathetic. Soriano's ability to go back on a ball, pathetic. mix that in with some bad luck on linedrives and a couple strike calls, and what do you get? All Trachsel's fault.

[Outshined_One]

Pitchers are generally asked to do three things:

 

1) Strike batters out.

 

2) Not walk batters.

 

3) Not give up HRs.

 

Guess which of these three Trachsel can do!!!!!!

 

/hint: NONE

[da bears]

hahahahaha just that kinda day. absolutely unbelievable.

There are Cubs fans that are still sane?

 

IM CHECKING IN! No more pills or alchohol, no more stinking fun at all!

[WrigleyinEngland]

Is anyone else not thinking of watching anymore cubs games as it is all too obvious what is going to happen??

[Flames24Rulz]

Nice job Derrek.

[Brian]

That's fair, how Cub.

And it gets worse.

[David]

LAWL DLee, don't bother arguing.

[weis21]

just comical

[PrimeTime]

Why can't just anyone like Lou or Hendry just read one of these sites and see that all thousands and thousands of people think the same exact thing...Maybe they''ll get the hint that " Wow thousands of people are going against me and Lou..Golly,I must be doing something wrong"

[E.J.]

Of course. Lands right on the line. I hate life.

[CubsBears29]

Un-effing-believable... that just barely dropped on the chalk..

 

5-1... GO PADRES... save the Cubs so they can get swept in the postseason!!!!!!!!!!!!

[inari]

And our playoff hopes keep disappearing. I hate this stupid frigging team.

[imb]

Lou wants to get tossed
