Since 1st June he's given up 29 hits, 12 walks and eight runs in 39 1/3 innings for an ERA of 1.83 and a WHIP of 1.04. His season ERA and WHIP now stand at 3.05 and 1.09 respectively.
Last night he gave up three hits and no walks over 7 2/3 innings, doubled, took third on the subsequent ground-out, and scored the winning run on RIZZO's single.
For the season has an OPS with the bat of .866, small sample size be damned.
I can't see anything getting between him and the NL MVP, to be honest. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you my newest squeeze (Reed who?) - Travis Wood.
Kerry was merely the Warmup Wood.
SIGH UNG, FEMALE DOGES!!!
Epstink is wonderful.
BUT DAT SHAUN MARSHALL KID MADE DA ALL STAR TEAM..AND DATS WIT DUSTY AS HIS MANAGER!
(Screw you, Eli.)
This morning I received a spam message from Travis Wood having something to do with preferred seating on American Airlines. You have to hand it to the wiliness of spammers. Not only do they know that I am a Cub fan, they know who the latest heroes are.

Well, to be fair Carlos Lee fucks every Cubs pitcher up
Kind of reminds me of the stat line of another Cubs lefty from a few years back...
In 76.2 innings pitched, he gave up 54 hits, walked 21, and struck out 78 while surrendering 22 earned runs en route to a 9-4 record. That's an ERA of 2.52 and a WHIP of 0.85.
Could Travis Wood be the next... Rich Hill (http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/6321/year/2006/rich-hill)?

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.

*dusts off thread*
Cautiously optimistic maybe "oh we totally know what his problem was and we've fixed" talk from the offseason wasn't bullshit.
He's throwing a lot of strikes, so that's something.

He was a totally different guy last night but he's always done well against his former club for whatever reason. Let's see it against another team and we'll start the real party. I think this has potential to make up for the totally wasted Lester/Ross signing(s), save the season and serve as a lesson to the human centipede of wrong that wants to trade 25-year-old all-stars at precious positions for starting pitchers that LITERALLY grow on trees.

I actually thought he looked pretty good most of the way against Colorado, too. He was cruising along and then a couple hits went where they wasn't and the Rockies managed to put up three runs. His stuf and his control has been good and that seemed like one of the biggest issues last year.

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 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.

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.

This thread is still dumber than shit but Travis did a fine job saving their asses tonight.
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.
This is world class Huebiting.
It actually made my morning just to come and see this response. I assume Huey was so incensed he spit out his morning optoat (then quickly gathered the chunks back up and stuck them back in because he ain't made of money, dammit).

Missed my opportunity there.
When Wood came into the game in the 3rd, I literally said to the folks in my section last night, "Boy it'd be nice if Wood could throw 5 innings and take them to the 8th"
And then he induced a double play.
And then he walked 2 straight guys.
But yeah he managed to traverse through a Dodger lineup to get 10 outs so don't let me stand in the way of his winning the gold medal in SKO's Low Bar Olympics. Cheer the raggedy-ass rail-splitter all you want.

Why does it matter if he got them to the 8th? Do you really want Travis Wood throwing in the 8th inning vs that lineup? He and James Russell combined with Wada to form a voltron of mediocre lefties that got them into the 7th so they could use their pen normally from there on out. Would you have expected Wada to get them to the 8th?
Hell, Wada left in the 3rd and they didn't even need to use Grimm at all in that game. Their pen is hardly taxed, and there's a good chance Wood allowed them to avoid having do to that awful thing they do where they call up Schlitter because their pen is too tired.
I deemed it worthy of a modest congratulatory bump.

Back-to-back outings holding down the Cardinals while his team scraps their way back to take the lead?
