"The only thing I can do here is change the lineup around and play people who are productive and pitch people who are productive. And that's all. I'll talk to them as individuals, but if I have to give 'rah-rah' speeches in April, it's going to be a long summer, I can tell you that." - Lou.
Okay, so...Micah Hoffpauir and Koyie Hill - they were productive just the day before.
D.Lee, Geo, not so much - 0 for 6 yesterday.
And, maybe Kosuke needed a rest since he's hitting the cover off the ball and currently sits at #5 in the NL with a .358 average.
Anyway, that was a pretty big turd the Cubs left out there with the cacti.
Lets hope the smell doesn't follow.
Tomorrow it'll be young Sean Marshall vs. the also young Chris Volstad, who's 2-0 with a 2.70 ERA in this young season.
The Fish have won 3 of their last 10, having just taken 2 of 3 from the Mets (who just won 3 of their last 10 as well), while the Cubs have won 3 of their last 9, losing the last 3 series and being outscored 36 to 47 over that time.
Just...not great right now.
