    Surely between Veal and Samardzija there's a combined top of the rotation starter. Vitters singles in his second AB, as does Flaherty.
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    Gaudin hasn't pitched since Saturday either, haha
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yeah, how dare he expect Marmol to throw 35 pitches in the last week! His arm is going to fall off throwing so many pitches!!! It will because he'll have to pitch every game the rest of the year when Wuertz and Lieber wind up on milk cartons from trying to find their way to the mound.

    a WEEK And Wood hasn't pitched since Saturday
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    To reiterate: neither Lieber or Wuertz have pitched in a WEEK.
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    Marmol? If you want to use a good reliever then use Wood, he hasn't pitched since Saturday. And Lieber and Wuertz haven't pitched in a week. And now Marmol has a gimpy ankle.

    Vitters with a HR in his first at bat. Luis Bautista continues to torment the MWL, 4 for 4 with a double. In Peoria debuts, Ridling went 0/4 with a K, Luis Flores was 2/4, and Opitz was 0/3 with a BB

    Milwaukee is losing to the ghosts of Brewer past, that's terrific
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    geez that wasn't close
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    That's good news. The difference between Marshall and Harden over 1 start is well worth the chance to give Harden 2 weeks to rest.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Anytime Soto scores, it's earned. Well, I'm happy that Soto scored, but why is Cueto charged with an ER on an obvious error on the SS? It wasn't earned.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Gameday has his sliders ranging from 81-88 mph in his last outing. It's certainly possible those could be mislabeled.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    That's worth noting, but that makes it a staggering coincidence that his performance went completely in the tank after that extra innings debacle.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    I wouldn't mind Harden not pitching before the break, but that means we either go to 13 pitchers, or Cotts/Wuertz has to go down, putting us down a reliever.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Bad moves Jim Hendry has made in the last calendar year: Trading for Trachsel The end. Good stuff Jim.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Cap 1 is the only one that has a Cubs logo on it.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    I was hoping that Jackson's turn was coming around, hopefully he can stay hot. Have we seen any reports of Cales making it to Mesa yet?
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yup. I have heard that Jimbo goes into full Prior bashing mode after a few Whiskey waters. Wasn't there a pretty revealing piece on some website about a luncheon where Hendry went off on Prior and was very candid? I seem to recall that from a ways back. Yeah, it was on Hire Jim Essian.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    I think something to keep in mind is Harden's repertoire. He throws a mid 80's splitter that could be mischarted as a fastball if it doesn't have much movement, especially if he overthrows it, causing it to flatten out and jump in velocity a little bit to say 88-89 mph.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Not to get too granular about this (and not to be a pain in the arse), but wont the avg velocity be heavily impacted by pitch mix? Has that been pretty constant? Average fastball velocity
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    I love Fontenot, but replacing him on the roster with a guy like Casey Blake would bring some serious balance to the bench. It's too bad that Fontenot isn't a very good defender, him being even passable at SS would give us an amazing bench with a guy like Blake on board.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    The Cubs still have quality pitching depth. Zambrano, Harden, Lilly, Dempster, Marquis, Gaudin, Marshall, Rich Hill on the comeback trail, and Lieber is supposedly alive as well. EDIT: Considering that Gaudin and Gallagher are similar options for this year, they actually ADDED pitching depth with the deal.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    That's as hard as I've ever seen Theriot throw a ball.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    He has walked 8 in his last 14 innings, including 8 in a 9 IP span. That's a bit of an odd way to say no walks in his last 5 IP. His walk rate overall isn't bad, but he did have a brief bout with wildness, during which he allowed one earned run. Just explaining the perception is all.
