He certainly knew that a BB would cause Lou's head to explode; it would also likely lead to a demotion to the bush leagues.
Is he not all there mentally?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'd think he's losing his confidence a bit. He looked like he was aiming the ball tonight instead of just throwing, as it's clearly in his head. Last year he walked 13 in 35.2 innings pitched. He's walked 5 in 3 innings already this year.

Losing his confidence a bit? He's borderline Ankieling on us.
Bottom line is even at his best as a Cub, he was a mediocre reliever. At his worst, he's a complete liability. I don't care why or what it is, but I don't want him back on the field.

He's been ass since 2006. I don't think people are looking at his stats closely enough. There's a reason why the Sox bailed on him even after he was a huge part of their WS. He's an uncoachable twit. Judging from Lou's facial expressions and the chatter in the dugout after Cotts was removed, I'd be shocked if we ever see him again.

I'm with you. His numbers do not reflect how bad he is. Hell his ERA right now is in the low 3's, but that really doesn't mean he's good.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It's just like Wuertz. Wuertz would allow a couple guys on, then Marmol comes in and cleans up his mess so the ERA stays fine.

Completely, and where is he at now? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It's early, but Wuertz has been in 7 games for 7.0 innings. He's given up 3 hits, 0 runs, 0 bb and has 9 k's. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif[/img]
