Hopefully Soriano helps out even more when he does make it to Wrigley

They dont expect him til after the AS break but yes, hopefully he makes them better..

They need to get another starter to replace Wada...

4 innings a start not going to cut it all year. ...

Why not have a two-man starter slot? Wada for 4 inning and follow up with Wood....next time around reverse them and have Wood start. Sometimes you gotta think outside the box and be a little unconventional....hey, that's what Joe Madden is all about.

I've actually wondered to an extent why this hasn't happened. In the minors you often piggy back starters to save on wear. I can't help but think of really talented guys who end up being middle relievers because they don't have the command to pitch 7 innings. On the other hand, if you had a guy who can give you a very solid 3-4 innings and a second guy who can do the same it gives you an interesting way to manufacture a quality starter.

It also allows for an early pinch hitter should the situation arise.

****, Jay Bruce saves the game for the Reds.

Huh?
By catching the ball hit right to him?

 

[TL1961]

Infield was in, making it a little tougher, but Castro was slow to react on what became game winning hit.

 

[TL1961]

We get a C on base, and pinch run for him with an older catcher!

 

[Mr. Cub]

I think it's time to put Rondon on Lester's boat and push it into the ocean. They can **** themselves on whatever island they land.

Ball right to him? The ball was slicing away from him and had to leave his feet. That wasn't an easy play at all especially in the fog. It saved the game. He had to sell out for the ball

He had no shot at that ball. No one does.

Defense in the infield is just bad. I understand their rookies and all, but we have lost a few games because of their errors now
