Wood hasn't looked all the great and this is a pivotal game. We've got a 3 run lead. He needs to work his kinks out so he can be a valuable part of the pen coming down the stretch. You say that like a 3 run lead is safe? not entirely, but we're facing a horrible lineup (save pujols) and it's STILL a 3 run lead. You're acting like its a tie game against the '27 yankees. And Pujols is due up second this inning So Woody can't face any good batters, even with a 3 run lead? How's he going to get his confidence? Lou has pitched him a tie game. I just think at this point in time he can't be relied on a pivotal game like this. We have a chance to bury this team. He's Kerry Wood, not some scrub from the Reds bullpen. He's not Kerry Wood from 2003. C'mon get real.
