Pretty piss poor effort this weekend in Florida all the way around.

Mets, Marlins, now the Cubs. You don't beat shitty teams just by showing up and announcing that you've got the best record.
Better get some better effort against the Cubs. Especially Thursday, because I'll lose a really obnoxious bet if they lose that game. :grr: |

I understand about Wacha. He needs to get that curve ball up to the major league level and work on location. Martinez's upside demands he be given a shot to succeed at the ML level. Now, not later. |
Heard some talk that they are waiting til after the break to think of Martinez coming up, if he even does this eyar.

I don't know how much longer you can stay with Lyons if he can't get back to being crafty. |
And I'm not really worried about Westbrook, yet. He is what he is, an innings eater who gets ground balls.
He was a bit rusty Friday, so we'll have to wait and see. |

I'm not absolutely against calling Martinez up. I just think that people should temper their expectations. They didn't with Wacha. |
I'm probably more for Lyons/Gast in that they are lefties and I'd like to keep atleast 1 up there.
But from what I've heard, some actually think Martinez has as high or higher upside than Wacha and potentially Miller. I think Wacha has a highish upside, but he doesn't quite have the stuff to be Miller or Martinez and will need to be more Wainwright. |

Those were two pretty bad starts. If that happens again with Lyons, give Martinez a chance. |

Neither Martinez or Wacha have ever piled up significant innings in a year that would compare to starting every 5th day here. If Waino, Miller, Lynn and Westbrook just pitch to their averages we will be fine with a so-so 5th starter in the short term. If that doesn't happen we can always bring one of them up. We don't need to panic yet. We have all seen the importance to hitting your stride with fresh arms can do at the end of the year (Worrell, Wainright, Rosenthal, etc.). |
