October 1, 2004 Cubs manager Dusty Baker said he wouldn't dump LaTroy Hawkins as his closer during the last few games, according to the Chicago Tribune. "He's a strong dude," Baker said of Hawkins, who has blown two straight save opportunities. "He has been through a lot." |
|
September 30, 2004 Having blown his last two save chances, LaTroy Hawkins may be replaced by Kyle Farnsworth as the Cubs closer for the last four games, according to the Chicago Tribune. "I've thought about it, but I can't tell you before I discuss it with (pitching coach) Larry Rothschild and the people involved," said manager Dusty Baker. |
|
August 22, 2004 Cubs GM Jim Hendry said the club is not in the market to replace LaTroy Hawkins as closer before the final trade deadline passes, according to the Sun-Times. "I think LaTroy has done a good job," Hendry said. "I think a couple days when it didn't work out, it got magnified. If you go back and look at it honestly, he did a fine job." |

August 13, 2004 LaTroy Hawkins began serving his three-game suspension Friday after his appeal was rejected, according to the AP. |
|
August 11, 2004 On Thursday, LaTroy Hawkins will have his appeal of a three-game suspension heard, according to the Chicago Tribune. |
|
July 27, 2004 Cubs manager Dusty Baker said LaTroy Hawkins will remain the closer for now, according to the Chicago Tribune. "You have to stick with somebody for a while," Baker said. "When Joe [Borowski] was here, they were hollering for LaTroy. Now they're hollering for somebody else." |
|
July 22, 2004 The AP reports that LaTroy Hawkins was suspended for three games on Thursday after he started yelling at home plate umpire Tim Tschida in Tuesday's game. Hawkins had to be restrained by manager Dusty Baker and several Cubs coaches from going at Tschida. |
|
July 20, 2004 LaTroy Hawkins was ejected Tuesday after yelling at the home plate umpire as he walked toward the dugout in the middle of the ninth inning. |
|
June 13, 2004 LaTroy Hawkins blew a save chance Sunday after giving up three hits and a run in the 11th inning. Hawkins is closing games for the Cubs in the absence of the injured Joe Borowski. |
|
June 6, 2004 LaTroy Hawkins allowed two hits in the ninth inning on Sunday but worked out of trouble to earn his fourth save, his second in as many days. While Joe Borowski is on the DL, Hawkins should now get most of the save chances for the Cubs. It is not yet clear how long Borowski will be out. |
|
May 16, 2004 LaTroy Hawkins picked up his third save on Saturday by recording the final four outs. Joe Borowski had pitched the previous two games, though it may be generous to say that's the reason why he was not called upon. Borowski has struggled greatly this year, while Hawkins has been lights out. |
|
April 24, 2004 LaTroy Hawkins picked up his first save of the year by collecting the final four outs for the Cubs on Saturday. Joe Borowski, the club's usual closer who has struggled for much of this year, was presumably available in the bullpen having thrown just 16 pitches on Friday. However, Dusty Baker let Hawkins finish the game because Hawkins was familiar with all three batters he faced in the ninth because they were all former AL hitters. |
