Hey I just tuned in, was this Big Z's first relief appearance? I caught the last out and he looked pretty fired up, how many innings has he been in for?

He entered the game in the 8th.
He pitched an inning against the Brewers on the Saturday
Haha, suck it Cubs "fans"
The 4.45 pitches-per-plate appearance number ranks Wright ninth among qualified hitters, and his 22.6 percent walk rate ranks fourth. Sounds a lot like a "three true outcomes" (home run, walk or strikeout) hitter, à la Adam Dunn, doesn't it?Ah, but the problem: Wright lacks the elite power of an Adam Dunn, and his fantasy owners typically expect batting averages greater than .300, or 51 points higher than Dunn's career mark in the category. If Wright continues on this path, he might struggle to reach .300, and his owners who picked him 16th overall were counting on at least that, not to mention 20-plus home runs and 20-plus stolen bases.
Anyone do the math on what Zambrano would earn per inning if he makes 80 more appearances this year?
We might actually need another inning of Tyler Walker
and a shot of tequila
