ST 3/25 Cubs (Marshall) vs A's & Cubs (Williams) @ Royal

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

anybody know if gooz and/or hill will be pitching in relief today? they both threw last on monday, if i remember right.

 

Don't know for certain, but you would assume one or both will make appearances today. Ryu is starting tomorrow, and Maddux on Monday.

 

weird...ryu just threw on wednesday...and not that well. why is he getting starts over hill and gooz? and it seems strange that marshall is starting again so soon.

 

I have no clue. Just looking at the Press notes.

[Bruce Miles]

The A's go this way:

 

Kendall, C

Scutaro, SS

Bradley, RF

Chavez, 3B

Payton, CF

Johnson, 1B

Kielty, LF

Rouse, 2B

Harden, P

Looks like theres some tweaks in a Cubs game intro on WGN.

[Outshined_One]

Rub it in about the weather, Len. :evil:

I'm all about some Cubs baseball on the tv

May be that they want to get a good assessment of where Marshall and Ryu stand in terms of actual roster decisions and rotation decisions, so they want to get a look at them against some major-league players, not the Casey Mcgehee/Dylan Johnston type minor-leaguers that Ryu has normally been facing in the late innings.

 

Hill has gotten a couple of starts, Guzman as well, Marshall is now getting his second, and ryu his first. If the decision has already been made who's starting and who isn't, then sharing out starts seems silly. But if they really are screening, then it makes sense that if Ryu is still in the picture, that they give him a start and reevaluate after that; maybe he'll get pounded and make it clear that he doesn't belong in the picture, who knows.

 

Or, perhaps Marshall is the current favorite, and they want to treat him that way, until/unless he proves otherwise?

[Outshined_One]

Guzman is pitching today in Mesa.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I have the sound muted on my TV, so if Len or Bob says anything newsworthy, let me know. I'll try to give updates over what is happening in Surprise...at least until the LSU game starts.

Hairston gets a four pitch walk vs Royals.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Bako throws Hairston out trying to steal. One out.

Good to see Hendry as well as the "Hi Uncle Kenneth" sign again
