As I said at the end of the last thread. He’s one bad pitch short of a pretty solid outing. That 0-2 pitch to Lee was a big mistake, and completely changed the outcome of his performance.

And if Edmonds doesn't lose that ball near the track,
he may not have given up anything at all.
This is the worst defensive game the Cubs have played since the ASB, and Jason is their most defense-dependent pitcher. Not good, but I think these guys can really use their day off.
