im still waiting for him to just get his first HR. I'm fine with DLee not hitting his HRs, as long as he can keep his BA where it's at. I want the black holes in the lineup to not be black holes, and I want the bottom of the pitching rotation to not suck.
I was thinking about that, but then I realized that the last time Miller pitched the Cubs managed to keep the game tied for 14 innings-so I'm still ready to see what the team can do. Besides, Wainwright has been living dangerously as well-his ERA is good, but a WHIP over 1.5 means that the Cubs still have a chance of getting some runs off of him. While your optimism is convincing and well-founded, I think that his WHIP of more than 1.5 means that 6 innings against the Cubs will be just what he needed to make that number a little closer to respectable. The Cubs offense: where pitching slumps come to die.
I'm gonna give lou the benefit of the doubt and say it's because he understands that it's his best chance to stay out of a double play, and that he's better off with Lilly at the plate.
UPDATE: It looks right now as if Felix will miss only 10-20 days with an elbow strain. This is good news at first glance. Hopefully it doesn't get extended to 30 or 45 days, followed by a career of chronic reaggravation.
I like the new update on the combo. All those threads are good to keep going, but they can all get buried pretty easily. Now I don't have to dig four pages for the LOST thread every Wednesday. Thanks Banedon!
His numbers looked a lot like Z's do now. Which just means we have nothing to worry about with Z, right?? Just like Hill, once Z has a little time in the league and gets settled into the rotation, his numbers will come around. ::chirp chirp:: Hey, I tried.
Considering it was Redman and that Barrett's HR broke up a streak of some pretty craptacular offense, I venture to say that this is the first time that either pitching has bailed out crappy offense or vice versa.
I think he has 7 walks... 3 this game and 4 last game. Still, he's awesome. My bad, I had him for one walk this game. Haven't been paying close attn :oops: Update the BB count to 7, making his WHIP an abysmal and unacceptable 0.68
