Looking like their going to be searching for another starter.
Butler can't find the plate 3 walks in first , already over 30 pitches

That sound you just heard was 25,000 people snoring at Wrigley.

The thing is though his stuff looks really good, the curve is nice and the slider is filthy, it's the control that's a problem. That can be fixed. Unless he really falls apart today I bet they stick with him for a while.

Yeah, I think he gets a few more starts.

Just one of those days at Wrigley. Wind is swirling to right field, cubs hitting the ball hard but right at people

Im sure he gets another start..

90 pitches in 3 innings..wow

Hopefully it was just a bad WF debut and his next start is better..

Hate to see them have to waste player asset to just get a 5

The walks to Thames are fine. Rest he needs to work on.

Most likely a minor mechanical issue that the nip this week.

At least it is not like Jake who dropped 10 deg arm angle on his crossfire.

This one could rank right up there as one of the ugliest games ever played.

I think I'll pretend this game never happened and move onto other things.

They don't need a 5th starter they need at least a 2/3 guy. Arrieta can be no better than your 4th starter. Danny Duffy is starting to look good. for a trade. His contract is reasonable and he'd slot in at 3. Quintana would probably be a better choice but the White Sox won't trade him in town. a lot of the other guys who were assumed to available might not be.

Just 1 game. 3 wins the O jumped out and ga e the starter a cushion. The key is that

Also you have to give Butler 5 games to see where he is at. If he is 50/50 good/bad then you upgrade. If this was a blip on a smooth road then why bother.
