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

[Coach C]

*appluase for Marshall*

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I'd leave Marshall in for this batter if it were me.

[Blueheart05]

Wuertz time. I hope that groundball is working.

[Flames24Rulz]

well Marshall cant get the W.

 

more importantly though, Wuertz is coming in...please throw strikes Michael.

[soccer10k]

Congratulations for everybody that predicted Jones would get his first hit before Wuertz made his first appearance. It was close.

[hawkcub]

Come on Dusty let him try to get out of it.

[David]

I'm not sure a situation like this is the best time to let Wuertz shake off the rust...

[Outshined_One]

Wuertz hasn't appeared in a game in a long time. He was erratic in ST at best.

 

This...this doesn't look good.

[Vinestal]

Dusty sucks, he should at least let the guy get out of the 5th. Thats sad

[Fro]

Bah, don't like that move at all... he could have got out of it.

[AlwaysaCub]

This is a horrible move. 2 ground balls already from Encarnacion. Wuertz doesn't always have the best control. Pujols is up next. Crud.

[Andy]

Dusty, you jackass. If Marshall didn't have ® next to his name I'll bet you'd leave him out there.

He made one bad pitch to Rolen and thats it. Overall he pitched well. I'm not sure if I would have taken him out this early though. Here's hoping Wuertz gets out of it.

[sethuel1]

It's a good thing our manager has such a quick hook.

[Rob]

Looking at last year's expected runs matrix, bases juiced with 1 out yielded 1.5279 runs on average.

[Vinestal]

Dusty just lost us the game I bet and tacked on to Marshall's era

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Wuertz doesn't get a ton of ground balls. I would've let Marshall try to get the DP, then bring in Wuertz, who also K's a ton of hitters, for Pujols and Rolen.

[Crash]

Just a foolish time to pull Marshall. He has been throwing ground balls, let him try for the double play.

[Yeti]

i think im gonna puke

Yeah, but nothing we can do, but hope for a DP ball, or at least minimizing the damage.

[soccer10k]

If Wuertz screws this up it could go down as the first major boneheaded move by Dusty for the year.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Don't throw anything but the slider outside the rest of this at bat

[Outshined_One]

If Wuertz screws this up it could go down as the first major boneheaded move by Dusty for the year.

 

It still is a boneheaded move, success or not.

[Rob]

Looking at Wuertz, he's pretty much a flyball pitcher...

 

Damn.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Give Dusty a break. He's worried about the kid's pitch count.
