I appreciated both Jason's stellar effort tonight and Joe's decision not to push it with a seventh inning even though his pitch count would have warranted it. Hammel was leaving the ball up a lot those last couple of innings.  Nice to have a manager who is proactive rather than waiting for the shit to hit the fan.

Also nice to have enough reliable arms in the bullpen so the Cubs never need to have to coax an extra inning out of Hammel or the Quality Start Machinetm.

Yeah, I hope Kyle's on a short leash today, the sweep (and putting the Cardinals a pretty solid 5 games back already) would be very nice, I'd play this one a little tighter than your usual April getaway game. Then you can afford to dick around a bit more against Cincinnati and the Brewers.

You should update your handle to Quality Start Machine (with the trademark).  Just a suggestion.

Not to mention, you can pretty much chisel 7 or 8 innings from Jake in stone for tomorrow.

Twice against the Cardinals now (last night and in the NLDS) he's come up with a big hit as well.

Is this a terrible Adam Warren joke? I'm legitimately unsure.

They only started one of the three major league hitters in the entire org and this still happened.

Nice to see this wasn't a repeat of last year after another leg injury. I'll take those #'s any day.

Jason Hammel has a higher offensive WAR than Miguel Montero.

But that framing and handling ability...this sounds just like last yr with Ross. Never thought I'd rather see Grandpa start over Montero after last yr, but I don't think anyone on this site would disagree with me at this time.
