does anyone have the stat line from last night's game when a cub lefty was facing a reds lefty? i know remlinger gave up a bullet up the middle to casey, a 403-foot out to griffey and a 2-run double to cruz. rusch was pathetic and ohman wasn't exactly effective.

 

does anyone else think remy should be designated and hill brought up to take his place? i mean, how much worse than remy would hill be?

The old "Remlinger should't face a lefty" keeps coming to mind as to the Griffey homerun. I do think Rem is done though, he's broken down and just riding out the year. He doesn't get in much and we were losing last night game so it doesn't bother me. Mop up duty only, don't want to see Hill wasted at the bottom of the rotation like Cendeno and Murton are wasted on the bench when they could be developing in AAA.

i don't think hill would be wasted as much as murton or cedeno. maddux, wood and williams aren't exactly eating up a lot of innings, so he would be pitching 2 or 3 times a week and getting a taste of the bigs which AAA just can't simulate. hell, with wood heading back to the shelf, maybe he should just join the rotation.

 

speaking of murton, the guy goes 4 for 5 in game 1 and doesn't play games 2 and 3? nice. and cedeno should be splitting time evenly with perez at the least.

That's Dusty for you, always start the veterans and use rookies sparingly at best.

Maddux is once again leading the staff in IP, averaging about 6 1/3 per start. He's eating his fair share.

Puttting Hill in the rotation is one thing, but being in the race technically right now, thats just not going to happen. The poll was should he be in the pen. And if he is inserted in the pen he's not going to get many days to pitch. To me, he's a starting pitcher and needs to be in that role until there is a spot for him to get some work done at the big level.

 

As for Murton and Cendeno, I just don't get it. I mean I get why they aren't playing because we are dealing with Dusty, but it doesn't make sense. Cendeno has to be losing his stroke, i mean why can't he at least PLATOON with Neifi, why god!!! As for Murton he only faces lefties, so he's on schedule. Can you imagine if Holly went 4-5, he'd be hitting cleanup for a month.

I voted NO cos I'd rather see Hill in the rotation than the bullpen.

 

Btw, this belongs in the Polls section.

He should become an outfielder.
