Bump for his second consecutive outdueling of the Great Johan which, though not as strong as his 2 previous outings, still leaves him with the following line over his last 5 starts:

36 1/3 IP
25 Hits
14 Walks
21 K
6 ER
1.49 ERA
1.07 WHIP
4-0 W/L

Three starts since:

15.2 IP
24 H
6 W
12 K
9 HR
22 ER
12.64 ERA
0-3 W/L

Fucking BUMP.

WHIP: 1.01 (!)
K: 50
HR: 5
Opp AVG: .191 (!)
Opp OBP: .264
Opp SLG: .291 (!!)
ERA 2.75

Batting line: .292/.320/.583/.903

Yes, his BABIP (.211) is low, but at this stage, Travis Wood is as good as if not better than Carlos at the same age, and without the histrionics and meltdowns.  I'm not going to lie, I'm enjoying the hell out of his performances - both on the mound, and at the plate - right now.  I don't really see any reason why he can't continue to perform at close to this level either, and if he does, he'll be in danger of becoming my favourite Wood ever.

Okay, okay.  Kerry was the very first Cub I fell in love with, and nobody will ever replace him in my affections.  But it could get close.

P.S.  Sean Marshall is back on the DL with his knackered shoulder.  Oops.

*dusts off thread*

Cautiously optimistic maybe "oh we totally know what his problem was and we've fixed" talk from the offseason wasn't bullshit.
He's throwing a lot of strikes, so that's something.

He was a totally different guy last night but he's always done well against his former club for whatever reason. Let's see it against another team and we'll start the real party. I think this has potential to make up for the totally wasted Lester/Ross signing(s), save the season and serve as a lesson to the human centipede of wrong that wants to trade 25-year-old all-stars at precious positions for starting pitchers that LITERALLY grow on trees.

I actually thought he looked pretty good most of the way against Colorado, too. He was cruising along and then a couple hits went where they wasn't and the Rockies managed to put up three runs. His stuf and his control has been good and that seemed like one of the biggest issues last year.

I thought he manned up after that terrible first inning. But come on is right.

After an inning like that you need to go at least 6 to make amends.  He couldn't even do that.
