Honeycutt's Pitchers Now Challenge Cubs

Summary


"We're not expected to win this series, because we've got the fewest wins, so we should go into this series loose," he said. "Hopefully we can use that to our advantage. Over the last six or seven weeks, even though we lost eight in a row at one point, this has been a pretty good ballclub."

"It's tougher coaching than it was playing, because at least you had control out there," [Rick Honeycutt] said before Monday's team flight. "When you're coaching, you're always thinking ahead as far as pitch counts, matchups and making sure you've got a guy ready, whereas pitching is being out there and playing off your athletic ability.

"I think it's an unbelievable advantage," said Dodgers farm director De Jon Watson, who was in Chattanooga on Tuesday. "What [Joe Torre], Honeycutt and the entire staff has done with this group of guys as far as bringing them together and making them understand what we're battling for at this stage of the year has been tremendous. And when you start sprinkling in Greg Maddox and Derek Lowe with [Clayton Kershaw] and [Cory Wade], the experience our older guys are able to share definitely helps, too."
