Homer: We're proud of you, boy.
Bart: Thanks, Dad. But part of this D-minus belongs to God.
Lee walks. 1st and 2nd, 1 out. Claussen is really strugging to throw strikes here and worrying way too much about the runners on base.

Come on now Claussen, settle in and throw strikes.
Pierre steals third. The throw by Valentin goes into the outfield. A run scores. Lee goes all the way to 3B. 1-0 Cubs. Runner at 3B with only 1 out. Not feeling good about this one already.

Barrett hits a sac. fly to RF. 2-0 Cubs. 2 outs. Very unlikley this can be a quality start for Claussen already.

There goes the big game from Valentin talk. That sucks!
Claussen throwing a lot of stuff up right now. Not even close to the zone with several of his pitches here.

Anyone think Claussen is worried about this wind? Could be why he is being too careful.
I'm not sure Claussen will ever learn "how" to pitch fully. He just isn't pitching smart here at all.

Murton flies out to 2B. 2-0 Cubs after 1. TONS of pitches there for Claussen and 2 Runs. That might be plenty for Maddux today.

Claussen sucks. Plain and simple. I would rather see Justin Germano in the rotation than Claussen.

I think when this season is over, Claussen will have been our 3rd best pitcher. He just seems streaky to me. Sometimes you feel like he had a good outing and he is improving and getting to be a better pitcher. And then his next outing you feel like he has taken a step back.
EdE grounds to SS. 1 out.
