the runs he gives are usually charged to the previous hurler. He’s lost it. He was decent last year. Anyone that says he’s good is lying to themselves.
by Itchy on Jul 10, 2008 2:56 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Just because a player has a bad stretch...
...does not mean he’s “lost it.” He’s had several years of very good pitching for us as a middle reliever, and there’s no reason to completely ignore that based upon a less than 40 innings so far this year.

I'll defend Lieber the same way I defended Wuertz.
Neither has pitched enough to stay in any kind of rhythm. We all know that Lou has really leaned on Marmol, Howry, and Wood at the back. He has preferred Gallagher and Marshall in the rotation. (I’m not saying that these are bad moves by Lou, necessarily, just that they have come at the expense of Lieber and Wuertz.) The Cubs starters usually go 6 innings, so one long man will be underutilized, let alone two.
I think both of these guys are good pitchers who are victims of circumstance. Gaudin just exacerbates the situation. Perhaps Wuertz can be traded for a good RH bench bat?
