    I didn't say anything about taking Volstad's spot. I said I thought they might try and give Wood another start while he's up here.

    wtf I read this earlier and am still baffled as to how this happened.

    Instead of suspending Hamels 5 games, suspend him 1 start. TA-DA! Philadelphia then announces that Hamels was supposed to start today on 0 days rest. Or any of the next 4 days. And he misses zero actual starts. I think it would be pretty easy to do something like a 6-8 game suspension for starting pitchers while only taking away 1 or 2 games checks. If you do 6 games it's at the very least pushing back his start a couple games. 8 games has a good chance of missing a full turn.

    Spring training results determined status, why shouldn't regular season major league starts? Well, Volstad's peripherals aren't bad, while Wood has been pretty bad in Iowa. At the very least, I'd like to see Wood get a few more starts in Iowa to prove his start in Chicago wasn't an outlier. Giving the nature of pacific coast league baseball, I think seeing what he does in Chicago and other major league ballparks may be more useful in determining his ability.

    In whose place? Not necessarily in anybody's place. But they seem to be giving Garza an entire turn in the rotation to recover from being sick, they've talked about doing stuff to limit Samardzija's innings, Dempster has already hit the DL and the other two have struggled. I thought that after calling the guy up and getting a decent outing out of him they wouldn't rush to send him back down and might give him another look. They have an off day Thursday but then have 13 straight, and with the very shaky bullpen at the moment it might also help to have another stretched out arm on the staff.

    http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/joel-quenneville-become-next-montreal-canadiens-head-coach-164804276.html#more-32544 Apparently there is real talk of Q leaving and Montreal stepping in to hire him. I don't really blame Q for the struggles. But hockey tenures are not long, and Q is already about a top 5 guy in that department and it could be time to move on. I feel like too many guys have gotten too comfortable with their standings dating back to the cup win.

    So Wood got optioned back for Cardenas. I thought they might have tried to give Wood another turn.
  9. jersey cubs fan
    Not really, he'll just start a day later.
  10. jersey cubs fan
    I don't think there is a requirement that he be fundamentally sound, intelligent and smooth in 5 weeks or 5 months. How about just competent?
  11. jersey cubs fan
    last I heard he's not pitching until Friday. That's what ESPN says with their projected starters. I was hoping it was wrong. I don't understand why being sick on Saturday (and telling reporters he felt fine later) would cause him to need 12 days between starts. It would seem to me there are other guys they'd like to skip or bump to get Garza in there again.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    I don't think it's "cool", but it very clearly is old school. It's something they've always done and something all "old schoolers" want younger guys to do.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    It's not really that your rates are unrealistic, it's that it is a pointless endeavor. The Cubs are a very flawed team with very flawed players, one of which is Carlos Marmol, who regularly implodes and gives away a win with walks. The bullpen in general is filled with has beens and nobodies, along with a relatively decent arm or two. Hey, imagine if LaHair wasn't hitting like a god amongst men right now. The Cubs would probably have lost more games. Isn't it reasonable to expect Bryan LaHair not to OPS 1500 or whatever the hell it is right now?
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Leaving a venue with Philly fans after a loss just does not get old.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Again
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Curious, what would qualify as a doom and gloom person right now? Watching wood walk the leadoff hitter and give up 2 runs in the 8th is going to bring out a few negative thoughts in anybody.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    It's probably a 90 loss team, what does it really matter? He's taking the spot of someone who could contribute in a few years doubtful. But even if he is, there's probably just as much value, if not more, in keeping that imaginary player in the minors. Relievers lose value in a hurry once you start to have to pay them.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    2 runs in 1 inning.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    should have walked him
  20. jersey cubs fan
    walk?
  21. jersey cubs fan
    He just tweeted that.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    the dodgers have Abreu? I had no idea
  23. jersey cubs fan
    bruce says that was the first PH HR of the year for cubs
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Taking a shot at RF is limiting yourself for the sole purpose of a stupid sacrifice with the pitcher coming up next leaving the most likely situation 2 outs with a man on 3rd for the leadoff hitter. You take your best hack in that situation.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    this inning completely changes for the better if Geo grounded out to 2nd instead of 3rd.
