5/11 Snakes (Gonzalez) @ Cubs (Gallagher) 1:20PM WGN

[PrimeTime]

Why did you have to scratch Z today??? Damnit

[RedFlash]

Calm down, people, the Cubs will win this game and get the sweep.

reed johnson's OPS against right handed pitching is below .600, in case anyone was paying attention.

Lou's not.

I was, you were, Lou isn't.

Of course, lost in all this will be that Sean Gallagher's day wasn't all that good.

 

It wasn't all that bad all things considered.

 

4.1 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 6 K. Yes, it was pretty bad. If this was a Marquis game, people would be roasting him.

 

Or, to use fangraph, he lowered the Cubs' chances of winning by 14.4% points.

 

 

Lets just ignore he pitched 3 days ago, or that hes only pitched 4 innings in a week. He was cruising untill the 5th inning, and honestly shouldnt be a surprise he started missing with his pitches.

Why is Chad Fox still in?

Excuses can be made for anyone. Performance counts.

[illiniguy]

Yes, that is Chad Fox still in there.

[inari]

Bringing out Fox again? Seriously?

Lous a dumbass?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Bringing out Fox again? Seriously?

 

We're back to the point where I'm not sure I want them to win.

[Outshined_One]

Bringing out Fox again? Seriously?

 

Maybe Lou's trying to blow out his shoulder and get him off the 25 man.

Did Sean Gallagher run over your cat?

Wow

Are you related to him? Is it so hard to say that a pitcher had a bad day? That a good minor-league pitcher projects to a mediocre (not bad, just mediocre) major-leaguer?

I'll take it as a surprise spot start in the kid's first big league start who hasn't thrown many innings the past 2 weeks.

[Outshined_One]

This is beginning to look suspiciously like Chad Fox's last major league outing prior to this year.

 

He's injury-prone. He only has so many bullets in him. He can't do extended outings. This is really, really dumb.

i think his point is that projection for gallagher isn't nearly as optimistic as most people on this board think he will be - which is a perfectly valid point. i don't know that he'll be any better than lieber or even marquis this season.

[Outshined_One]

Get him out of there!

And I should specify that I mean projects *right now* to be a mediocre major-leaguer. At his age, that's an accomplishment.

I'm a Lou supporter. I don't criticize him nearly as much as a lot of people here do, but walking Young to pitch to Jackson and load the bases was Dusty-esque in its stupidity.
