Doolittle looked dominant tonight and vs 3 RH batters. Not a save situation but it felt like he was being used as the closer.

Originally posted by Hornsby View PostThat's going to be up in the air all season long...they'll continue to keep Johnson in the mix, simply because they're paying him so much. And eventually, he'll either do what he's done in the past and reel off a long string of successful appearances, or be relegated to garbage time.Originally posted by rwPitching in the sixth inning, Jim Johnson walked three of the six batters he faced, hitting another, before being pulled against the Indians.
Fortunately, Johnson's wildness did little harm; he allowed just one run in a 9-2 game before Fernando Abad came in and got the final out of the inning. Still, it was a very uncharacteristic outing from a guy who seems to have lost his confidence. He obviously won't be closing out any games in the ninth for a while. Sean Doolittle and Luke Gregerson will probably share those duties.
Not that Doolittle is perfect, 30% GB is going to get him in trouble occasionally."The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable." -NY Times

On a side note, Rondon throws hard. All the FB I saw today were 96-99 mph."The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable." -NY Times

Originally posted by Hornsby View PostWhy would you consider it volatile? He's doing the job, and there nobody else on the Cubs who's considered a realistic closer in waiting. If they stick with him, they've got a controllable closer for a few years. The other guys are trade fodder at this point, IMO.

Originally posted by popeye View PostRondon did nothing last year and at this point, has not yet established himself. Also, among others, I would still keep my eye on Vizcaino."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Originally posted by eldiablo505If Veras pitches well upon return, I'd wager that he'll get another shot.
If he does crap out soon, then we are definitely back to Veras if he's pitching well."The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable." -NY Times
