4/19 Cubs (Marshall) @ Dodgers (Penny) 9:10 PM CSN/WGN Radio

[Chris]

Walk doctoring up the baseballs

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marshall struck out swinging

[cubfan75]

2-up, 2-down.

[Banedon]

Boy Marshall has a mean hook. He's still really raw...but he shows flashes of being a pretty good pitcher.

 

He doesn't get it across the plate nearly enough. He's already been touched for 3 bombs in 11 innings. I am still not sure how this team in 8-5. A healthy Wood and Prior are needed ASAP.

 

11 major league innings...that's all...and you're really judging him on that?

[AI]

I don't expect him to be a stud. As a matter of fact, I don't think he should be here at all.

[Chris]

Give 'em the vaseline ball!

[Omar]

Pierre singles!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre blooped a single to center field

[Flames24Rulz]

Pierre with a bloop single.

When is it acceptable to question the quality of the Sean Marshall era. So far, I am thoroughly unimpressed.

 

You know it's bad when Rusch is pitching better than you.

 

He's had relievers give up 1/2 of his 8 ERs after he left games so far. Oh yeah, and the kid missed the last month plus of last year with just 11 starts above A ball.

 

It's ridiculous how people excpect Marshall to be a stud right away.

 

Im not expecting a stud. The homers are a little worrisome. He's getting hit. If he can go 5 and give up 2 today or 6 and 3 thats not bad.

[Banedon]

Who should be that would be doing better after 11 innings of work?

[Schwarber Fan]

Slappy 2-2

[Omar]

Pierre steals! Safe.

[Chris]

ha ha, too late!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre stole second base

[cubweiser03]

Pitch out to boot.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ha! JP steals on the pitchout

[cubfan75]

Nice steal on a pitch-out.

[Chris]

Dude has to work up some more gel on the ball

[Omar]

Doesnt Kerry Wood also dip his hat in water or something?

He left the baserunners on. Turning the ball over with the bases juiced and no outs isn't a recipe for success.

 

His inexperience above A ball is supposed to be a selling point for Marshall? ...or an excuse for his performance.

[soccer10k]

At least we aren't the only team with a problem throwing out runners. The Dodgers are 0-16 on the year.

[Omar]

Gah, Walker pops out. Inning over.

[Flames24Rulz]

ugh...

[Chris]

Nothing like a Caddyshack reference
