The Unresolved Bullpen Angst Thread

[LoneStarCubFan]

I think some of them are playing poorly. Hoffpauir for instance. Lou said yesterday that Reed Johnson will get the starts from now on unless Bradley is ready and able. He said they'll be looking for defense instead of trying to get more offense. I don't know about you statmankissers, but I positive the shit out of that. Our manager is steak tits.

Well, this statmankisser thinks Lou is acting like an ADD-riddled five-year-old. We know Hoffpauir isn't great defensively, but defense wasn't the reason the Cubs lost yesterday. I don't like the idea of benching a guy who's actually hitting pretty well so that Reed Johnson can face more right-handed pitching.  If Hoffpauir keeps bumbling around out there, then maybe make a change, but c'mon.  Benching him after one mistake?  That's dumb.

Hope you got the reaction you were looking for.

Actually, it was two mistakes and they cost the Cubs three runs. He didn't drive in any so it's not like he made up for them with his bat.

Reed Johnson hasn't driven in a run all year.

I think the Cubs would do themselves a small favor putting Reed out there a little more for defense's sake.  Who knows, really?  Mr. Glass might be back sooner rather than later.  We might not have to talk about who's in right much longer.

He hasn't let any in either.

Can we count the four he took from Prince as a net gain?

Yeah, thanks. That was choice. It seems that you're saying that if Mr. March continues his clown college in RF his defense might improve. He's 29. That's a stat you can make out with if you want because if he's not any good by now he's not ever going to be. So why not bench him after a professional career filled with defensive ineptitude that has until this season kept him from getting a big league gig?

If Hoffpauir keeps bumbling around out there, then maybe make a change...

What else do you need to see?

It's not a reaction as much as it is the fucking truth.

We could so be best friends someday.

So he's batting .200 with 5 prodigious dongs and 25 Ks? It's April. If he keeps bumbling around out there, we'll sit him down, maybe.

I was an ADD-riddled five year old once. I had an eyepatch. True story.
