He's the champion...of life!
-
Yeah, I generally agree with this. Why the final call as to who to put in and when to pull a guy and so on is up to the manager and not the pitching coach is beyond me.
-
That and Kaplan's ringing endorsement should be more than enough to reinforce how bad an idea this is.
-
Bat Soriano 4th and Soto 5th. If Soriano starts to go cold then flip them. Hopefully by the end of this month we'll be seeing Aramis looking more like Aramis again. -
Because you have other guys in the bullpen desperate for pitching time in low leverage situations. The Cubs need to capitalize on those. Besides, it's usually not a bad idea to make sure the opposing team doesn't have a chance to adjust to a reliever if he's given you a good inning, especially if it's a pitcher without overwhelming stuff. It's not like he had to go back out there because the bullpen was taxed or because the lead was close. In short, there was no need to send him back out there. He's a reliever, he got you your three outs, you have other guys that need to pitch; pick someone else.
-
I fully support moving him up to bat 4th (and Soto 5th) until Aramis warms up.
-
Marshall was fantastic in the 7th. It was stupid to leave him in.
-
It really is a nice way to cleanse the pallet with a win like that. If Aramis can just get going this offense is showing it can be a LOT better than what we've seen.
-
Aramis = rally killer. For the love of God, give him a couple starts off.
-
Woot!
-
Alright, Derrek. You're due.
-
Oh, Len. Don't give Lou any more ideas. There's no reason to have Hill catch in the 9th.
-
Wow, beauty of a bunt by Colvin. Nice job.
-
Geo is, what, 2-2 with 3 walks and an RBI tonight? MOVE HIM AND SORI UP!
-
Nice job by Berg and Grabow. Good job by Marshall, too, until Lou left him in there too long.
-
Oh my God, I hate Lou so much.
-
JESUS CHIRST, JUST LEAVE BERG OUT THERE.
-
No kidding. The bullpen is never going to get any better if Lou refuses to use any of the "kids" in low leverage situations.
-
[expletive], Lou has no clue how to handle a bullpen.
-
Why was Marshall going back out with a 5-run lead? So dumb.
-
And you know for sure that his streaky ways in the past aren't similarly accountable?
-
Sure, but the Bulls only need to get 1. It's not like the Knicks have a higher max amount they can offer. Let's say Bosh is deciding between the Knicks and the Bulls: both teams can pay him the same. Sure, the Knicks may have also signed someone like a Joe Johnson, but the Bulls already have Rose and Noah. The Knicks aren't really going to blow away anyone in terms of being a destination unless that first max FA is LeBron. Yes, but they will drive up the prices of players who might not really be deserving of a max contract. True, though if the Bulls don't get any of the guys who actually deserve max contracts then it's a failure regardless.

You're getting silly. I'm pointing out that there's no evidence he's stopped sucking against righties willing to throw him something that is not all inside pitches. Look up the pitchfx data yourself if you want to see. I've seen it. If you're going to nitpick Soriano to that degree then you can't even justify him having a career in the majors at all, much less just pointing out how he's had a decent start to the season. He's an enigma that way, as is the question of why don't teams just pitch only to his obvious flaws. What's silly is expecting that teams are going to suddenly start only pitching away from him when they haven't been for a decade now.

You're getting silly.
