Did LaTroy Hawkins just look GOOD?
He’s a competent pitcher now… when did that happen?

when there ceased to be pressure on him.
who cares about him in Colorado or Houston. He’s failed in the bigger markets, like Chicago and New York.

He was always a competent set-up man
He was just really, really horrible as a closer.

Yep.
He was good with the Minnesota (IIRC) before he came to the Cubs.

Was pounded ceaselessly into the round hole of the closer position.

Someone asked this Cubs team during their break..
“How many people wanna kick some ass?” and they said, “I do! I do!”

Risk vs. reward
Pulling Lilly ensures he leaves the game with an awesome line and has a plethora of confidence going forward. If he leaves him in, and the Astros go out and rough him up a bit for 4 runs, then you just erased the momentum created in the last 16 innings. Good call by Lou.

His pitch caused Quintero to leave the game
after he fouled it off his knee cap.
