[sneakypower]

for some sick, twisted reason i actually look forward to Rusin starts now

 

i threw this in the game thread his last start, but the point remains; we might actually have something here

 

Rusin

2.64 ERA / 3.82 FIP / 4.19 xFIP

.281 BABIP, 47% GB, 8.9% HR:FB

8.8% swinging Strikes

 

Wood

3.09 ERA / 3.83 FIP / 4.45 xFIP

.238 BABIP, 33% GB, 7.4% HR:FB

7.4% swinging strikes

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I absolutely think Rusin is an MLB pitcher at this point. Not a great one, but a fifth starter or mid-level bullpen lefty.

[sneakypower]

also he's induced more swinging strikes than Edwin Jackson or Garza, if you can believe it

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Those three posts have guaranteed he's going to get destroyed today.

Apparently the balls were flying out in BP - per Keith

JUNIOR LAKE

[fallingpieces]

So apparently all I've gathered is that Keith really likes sunglasses.

No, no, just the flip downs, not the regular sunglasses. Pay attention, would ya?

My bad. I wonder what he would say if the player lost the ball trying to flip down their sunglasses?

[d_money]

Rusin in tha house!

[MWV]

I must have missed something; what the hell was Logan Schafer so pissed off about after that ground out?

len speculated he had tried to call timeout. I wasn't paying attention if they showed the replay or not.

[Careless]

Rusin isn't hurt, right?

[d_money]

Rusin isn't hurt, right?

Don't think so - high pitch count

[mul21]

Rusin isn't hurt, right?

 

No, he'd just thrown a ton of pitches and was giving up a lot of hits. Dale actually made a fairly good BP decision there.

[sneakypower]

Lake's current line: .301/.344/.448

[Careless]

Huh, WGN played Go, Cubs, Go after the game. Hadn't done that all year, AFAICT

[Guest]

The Cubs have led 5-0 four Fridays in a row. They are 2-2 in those games.

Was Derrek Lee at the game today for anything in particular? On Aramis' homerun, the camera pans to him in the stands: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2013_09_06_milmlb_chnmlb_1&mode=video&content_id=30365691&tcid=vpp_copy_30365691

There is a Cubs vs. Sox Charity softball game today in Schaumburg and Lee will be playing in the game along with Gary Matthews Jr and Jamie Moyer (for the Cubs).
