Whoah there...
I think 2003 Prior has to go into consideration too.
I mean, based purely on performance, Harden is the best most of us have EVER seen (remember – we didn’t have Maddux in his prime). But let’s let him keep doing it.
by SouthernCub on Aug 5, 2008 2:26 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Power versus control...different skill set.
..If Harden learns how to think like Maddux, look out….

I'd say he has a chance for 7 if he keeps his inning avg up
is avg. about 13 pithches an inning- 5th would 64, 6th would 77, 7th would be 90… might go longer since he will have 6 days rest next start

Theriot was shaded toward the bag
the ball was hit where the SS would normally play. He wasn’t that far away, and it looked like he got to it, but he didn’t, it went under his glove.
Aramis threw up his hands in the air, disgusted.
(Not sure if he was disgusted at his teammate, or just at bad luck.)

I mean.....he had 8 Ks and 1 BB. He just had some hits fall, and the second
HR came when someone was on….basically what I am saying is, when you have 8 Ks and a single walk (to the last batter), there shouldn’t be anything to worry about. If they were unlucky and hit to our guys, we would be discussing another dominant start by Harden. I’m guessing he actually just was throwing too much in the zone today, with the ridiculous strike/ball ratio.

If he always kept the ball down as well as he had in his previous Cubs starts,
then I think he’d be pretty much at an all-time great talent level. When you have a strikeout pitcher with ridiculous stuff, you’re going to have days where too many pitches are left up. He’ll be fine. Still has one of the lowest ERAs in the league by far.

double play
no runs score.
’’If somebody had told me we were going to lose Soriano for eight weeks, lose [Carlos] Zambrano and Kerry Wood for a couple of weeks apiece, and then at the same time lose [Reed] Johnson, and then when we played the American League not have a DH [then-injured Daryle Ward], and be in first place by two games, I’d tell you we were pretty fortunate.’’ Lou Piniella (7/23/08)

well,
we’ll see. Howry probably doesn’t come out for the next inning. We can take ‘em.

but hindsight is 20/20. If howry would have gotten out of that we’d probably all say that howry and lou were geniuses. We still got some time left in the game…so let’s see how it works out.
