4/9 Cubs (Marshall) vs Deadbirds (Fat Drunk) 7:05 ESPN

[RyCubsFan]

If Marshall had thrown that last pitch, it would have been called a ball!

[Jon]

Any scouting on Marshall as a hitter?

11 career minor league ABs, 1 in college.

[sherwood921]

Murton hit 8 homers in about 130 ABs if I remember right. That's on pace for well over 30 for 600 ABs.

 

That's what I thought

Jacque Jones needs a slump buster. :lol:

 

I won't say another word so anyone who gets that, I respect you. :D

 

It's times like these a guy like Mark Grace or Kyle Farnsworth comes in handy.

 

That thread has faded into oblivian.

 

Now if Grace and Farnsworth would just fade into oblivion.......

 

I like the fact that Farnsworth is on the Yankees this year because every time he screws up a game for them, it's going to lead off on SportsCenter because they are the Yankees.

"Stick the bat out there and hope you make contact" is the correct term, I believe.

[Omar]

C'mon Pierre! Get a single!!

[Flames24Rulz]

Marshall K's. Cmon Pierre, cut this lead in half.

[Omar]

Marshall K's. Cmon Pierre, cut this lead in half.

 

Or tie it. :roll:

I got it. What's Mama Cass doing these days?

 

Not sure what your point is???

[Yeti]

Marshall K's. Cmon Pierre, cut this lead in half.

 

Or tie it. :roll:

even just extend it for twalk

[soccer10k]

Wow, 19 different leadoff hitters in the last 3 seasons and the worst leadoff BA in the league.

[B]

I love Pierre's Camo shirt.

[Omar]

I love Pierre's Camo shirt.

 

His loose pants make it seem like it's vintage uniform day.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ponson is slower than the seven year itch !!

[Jon]

If it's so simple, Morgan just did a horrible job explaining it.

[soccer10k]

Ponson is slower than the seven year itch !!

 

LOL.

[Rob]

Ponson is slower than the seven year itch !!

 

It must be all that molasses he was chugging.

[Coach C]

Ponson is slower than the seven year itch !!

 

Haha.

[Omar]

Good AB by Pierre.

[sherwood921]

Pierre is swinging at some bad pitches, but I like that he makes 'em work

[soccer10k]

What are the odds that Ponson runs into the stands and goes after a beer vender in between innings? How about a hot dog vendor?

[Coach C]

Ugh.

[Omar]

Pierre with a full count & he grounds out. Still a good AB..

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre couldn't lay off the offspeed pitch the entire AB. Made Ponson work though.
