4/14 Cubs (Marshall) @ Pirates (Santos) 6:05 PM CSN+

[Crash]

It's criminal that Marshall, who pitched pretty well, has double the earned runs of Wuertz, who single-handedly tried to give it away.

 

TY Williamson :)

 

It's criminal that Wuertz has twice come in for Marshall and allowed the inherited runners to score. Dusty is going to have to get over his leaving Marshall in phobia.

[minnesotacubsfan]

finally, if Williamson's arm stays in one piece, he'll be huge.

Did Chad Fox retire?

 

ooo gaWD YES..i DONT THINK HE HAD A CHOICE

[killthegoat06]

thing is, williamson shouldn't have to pitch until the seventh at the earliest, 8th if i had my way.

 

 

And Weurtz shouldn't have joined the team.

Marshall has pitched well both games and Wuertz screws it up. Oh well. People will underestimate Marshall just looking at the box score, which works to our advantage.

I still would like to see Aardsma promoted (if he gets regular pitching time).

His arm pretty much fell off.

where is chad fox these days?

 

GOLFING...

[gflore34]

I know it was asked earlier but, does Wuertz have any options left? If so, he needs to go, if not cut him.

Over Gooz??

[Banedon]

That was an ugly swing on the 3-1.

as long as his velo doesn't tank again...

At the beginning of the season I'd have disagreed with you, because Howry was healthy and Williamson had yet to prove that, but now I agree with you.

 

8th inning righty setup man should be Williamson; Eyre should be the lefty 8th inning setup man.

 

Demote Howry to the 7th innings.

[Banedon]

Murton looks at too many strike 3's....if he has a weakness, it's that he doesn't swing at the close ones on a 2 strike count.

And to think that Wuertz was the Marshall of 2004: minor leaguer that wins a spot with a money ST.

He was right not to swing at that pitch. It was a horrible call.

Agreed.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

With the way he's pitched, Wuertz could find himself back in Iowa when a spot for Wood or Prior is needed.

 

And wow...that splitter/forkball of Williams is awesome!

it's not a weakness. that's what happens when you're patient like that. you end up getting strike 3 called a lot.

what's the deal with bad calls against murton so far this year? balls, strikes and i think he should have been safe on a few infield singles.

[illiniguy]

Why didn't Dusty pull Marshall after 9 to give him some momentum to build on?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Yeah, Aardsma would be a reliever. I want Gooz starting, not relieving.

I prefer that to waving at stupid crap and getting strike 3. Besides, my theory is that patient hitters end up getting some leeway from the ump on 2-strike counts. If he doesn't swing, the ump might be more likely to call it a ball because of how patient the hitter is.
