Yeah fuck this Dewey Crowe Gang lookin' piece of fuck

Thirded.  I don't feel I'm as angry as a lot of Cub fans out there right now but I'm definitely annoyed at this fucking guy's performance.  Come on.

I thought he manned up after that terrible first inning. But come on is right.

After an inning like that you need to go at least 6 to make amends.  He couldn't even do that.

What's weird is it seams to me like the Cubs starters have been a bunch of slapdicks when it comes to going deep into games, but as a rotation they're above average in innings pitched per start (just a shade below 6). There are only 6 teams that are averaging more than 6 IP per start. I guess we're just in the era of the gutless starting pitcher.

I feel like Arrieta is the only guy who can even get into the 7th with any regularity right now. 

Hopefully Jacob Turner can come back soon and fix all this.

I think Maddon's had everyone on a 100 pitch max, at least that's how it's been looking to me with pitchers getting the hook. Someone with time to look up pitch counts per game per pitcher can tell me if I'm imagining things.

100 pitch max, he's also pulled guys the second they show signs of struggling the 3rd time through the order, whether that's the 5th/6th/7th inning. I know a bunch of studies have been done that say that's when you should pull guys because even mediocre relievers have a better chance of getting dudes out at that point, it just has bit him in the ass every single time this year. They have to be due for some better luck eventually.

Mediocre relievers sure, but I feel like it was Schlitter every time he pulled someone early. And he's not mediocre. If pulling pitchers early is the smart move, then I'm all for it. I'll be more all for it when the relievers are Grimm and Ramirez.

Honestly I really can't fault Joe for how he handled that bullpen last night. He even used Strop an inning earlier than his usual 8th inning because that was the heart of the order coming up and was likely the highest leverage situation left in the game. Strop just shit the bed. Strop was due to shit the bed at some point, he'd been almost too good for too long, for it to be back-to-back pants shittings is just a killer, but there's no way to really blame Joe for last night at all.

Yes, his BABIP (.211) is low, but at this stage, Travis Wood is as good as if not better than Carlos at the same age, and without the histrionics and meltdowns.  I'm not going to lie, I'm enjoying the hell out of his performances - both on the mound, and at the plate - right now.  I don't really see any reason why he can't continue to perform at close to this level either, and if he does, he'll be in danger of becoming my favourite Wood ever.

Okay, okay.  Kerry was the very first Cub I fell in love with, and nobody will ever replace him in my affections.  But it could get close.

P.S.  Sean Marshall is back on the DL with his knackered shoulder.  Oops.

You shut your whore mouth with that talk.

We're probably going to see Wada soon, right? I checked out his AAA numbers for the season and they're not as bad as I thought. Wood has just been dreadful...almost Edwin Jackson levels of hittable.

Wada got bumped back a day to start for Iowa today, which puts him in place to take Wood's spot on normal rest. I think today was Wood's last rodeo.

Not bump-worthy IMO. Had he gone 5 innings and bridged the Cubs directly to the 8th himself yeah.  I mean, good effort and all, but after the last 8 or so months of tub- shitting  giving his team 3 1/3 IP is the least he can do. 

Unless he does this in a playoff game of course.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.
