  1. I think he's closer than you think, Truffle. He said in a few interviews after the game that his marching orders were to work quickly, throw strikes, and let the D do its thing. That's pretty much what happened. The reality is, though, that if you're a pitcher with options, one bad outing -- heck, one bad inning -- can get you bounced back to the minors. Marshall pitched well last night (though I don't know if he had "too many warning track flyouts"). I wouldn't be surprised if Lou figures that the 5th starter position is someone's to keep until they have a bad outing.
  2. Actually, in the Gallagher vs BA debate, Gallagher has done all right for himself.
  3. So psyched for Gallagher. This was a good start.
  4. I'm sure they were both betting FOR the Reds.
  5. Wow, there seemed to be some pretty high expectations for this start. I'll take the results!
  6. Lou said post-game that Gallagher will start Wednesday in Houston.
  7. He had 6 Ks in his first start. I'm not concerned about his K rate in this game, throwing strikes and mixing his pitches is more important at this stage. I just wish I could have watched this game.
  8. I'd prefer Fuku hitting 2nd today with a guaranteed 1st inning AB. Maddux tends to miss in the first inning and it's best to jump on those misses early and often.
  9. All: Just like in the Transactions Forum, no need for homophobic edmonds jokes. You can read the Member Guidelines if you need a refresher. Thanks.
  10. I heard Marquis on the Score and if anything, he made out Edmonds to be Party Central back in the Cardinals days. Didn't know if that was much of an endorsement.
  11. What's that hole in the padding? Was someone shooting at him?
  12. actually, everyone needs to lighten up a bit.
  13. His jersey t's will be half-off?
  14. Piniella got his cranky on during the radio pre-game interview and said that the #1 priority was shoring up the rotation, which they'd be doing over the next 7-10 days.
  15. Or maybe it was just moved to rants for amusements sake.
  16. Please see the discussion in the minor leagues forum: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=48193
  17. Here's the link. I'm a Maddux fan, but I don't think he's the best fit for the Cubs. I do think they could use a starting pitcher (and Rich Hill back in the rotation soon). I'd like to see them pick up someone who can still shut down opposing lineups in a playoff situation. I don't think Maddux is that guy any more.
  18. Thanks, Coach_C. Drop me a PM if you want to be added back to the list.
  19. Welcome to the forums, Brian! I'd like to see Pie get some more ABs in the majors.
