What do we chalk Hill's abnormally low run support to? Coincidence, anomaly -? Players get bored watching him pitch so they can't hit? It's really much lower than anyone else.
Lou gets a kick out of lying to the fans. He wants 8 midgets that walk all the time. FALSE Murton is the team's starting LF. FALSE Wood will pitch today. FALSE Lou is a liar and a bad manager. Dud he's not a liar and a bad manager. I've been known for some feats of hyperbole but that one takes the cake.
Which is foolish. Kerry Wood is a much better pitcher than anyone we have in our pen. If you don't trust him, he doesn't need to be in Chicago. Wood's stuff still makes a guy like Howry look like a bush-leaguer. Between him & Marmol, there's nothing else in that bullpen on the same planet.
Yeah I don't get it. That 8th inning would have been the perfect spot for Wood, IMO. You're not going to get much of a "softer landing" than a 4-run lead with 2 out & 1 on.
Apparently he didn't listen to me. Yeah, I don't understand it. Hasn't Marmol's arm been abused enough? 4 run lead, 2 outs in the 8th. Perfect time for Wood, isn't it? WTF they better pitch Wood today. Nope. Now Howry is up. No Wood.
