Before anyone gets all crazy, check these numbers out:

Versus Wandy, career numbers:

Jay Bruce - 1 for 20, 12 Ks, 0 BBs
Jonny Gomes - 7 for 21, 2 HRs, 9 RBI

Others of note

Renteria - .500/.583/1.100 in 10 ABs
Cairo - .444/.583/.556 in 9 ABs
Votto - .333/.375/.467 in 30 ABs
Stubbs - 1 for 13
Janish - 3 for 9
Ramon - 5 for 17
Lew Ford - 2 for 3

Why does Yahoo show me Lew Ford's numbers? Is he still in the organization?

Interesting.. I've noticed Ramon has caught all of Volquez's games except one. Not that it's his fault or anything, but I didn't expect that when looking through the logs.

Hopefully Volquez can get on track vs the anemic Astros.. It would be awesome to go 7-2 on this Cubs-Astros 9 game series.

I agree. The problem is that he'll have short stretches in every game where he looks simply unhittable and the Reds fall in love with it all over again. They need to stop and look at the bottom line for him. He's unacceptable right now. And it's not even close. Having great stuff is fantastic...but if you can't harness it...what's the point? You could roll it up there and get nearly the same results.

There's no doubt that he's got world class, potential ace stuff. But at some point he's got to stop nibbling and start going after hitters. He's got to trust that they won't hit his best stuff even if he can throw it for strikes.

With an off day tomorrow i'd pull Volquez now and let LeCure go 3-4 innings. At least 3 runs is possible against Wandy. Any more than that and they should let Volquez throw 180 pitches, which sadly may not enable him to throw a complete game.
