this worked out well. marquis got rocked in his start against the brewers (remember, they don't hit righties well). hill pitched terribly after his 9 day lay off, burning the bullpen and losing to the cardinals. and now lieber is getting lit up. pretty good chance this little switcheroo will go 0-3. nicely done, lou. i wonder what would have happened had he just left everything ALONE.
or the guy who was one of the best pitchers in baseball last year that is currently hanging out in des moines. you could make a better rotation using the bullpen and iowa than the one the cubs are using right now.
Doesn't sound great. he's thrown less than an inning over like the past month and he just got demoted after being one of the best pitchers in the game last year. i'll take one run over three innings and 2/3 strikes given the circumstances.
that game gave fans unreasonable expectations about wood that he would have never been able to live up to, injury or no injury. that being said, k #19 is my favorite.
i want to start duchscherer, but he's not eligible as a SP, so i just put him in my lineup as a RP. so my lineup shows three relievers, but i only have four SP in there. if that's not right, let me know.
it is kind of frustrating that marmol, wood, and marshall are all in the pen (and hill in AAA), while marquis, lieber and dempster are in the rotation.
Soriano should not be leading off, however, I don't think Theriot is a better choice.Nor is Theroit. Did you see Alter Bridge @ House of Blues over the weekend? I was there Friday, AWESOME CONCERT!!!! and i thought "theriot for leadoff" was the worst thing i read in this thread.
