4/25 Marlins (Willis) @ Cubs (Marshall) 7:05 PM CSN Chicago

damn lucky breaks always going to the other team. If that had been the Marlins the play not only would have been made, but somehow the second baseman would do a full flip in the process.

Anyone hear Ronnie Woo Woo in the background?

Is there ANY situation where you guys like the sac bunt?

 

Fast forward the same situation 5 innings.

Why does one run later mean more than one run now? A run is a run; I'll take one in whatever inning I can get it in.

 

Do you know that there's a better chance of a runner scoring from first with none out than it is for a runner to score from 2nd with 1 out?

 

I didn't know that. Is that a proven fact?

Yep. The Run Expectancy (Avg. number of runs scored in an inning from a given base-out state) is 0.953 with no outs and a runner on first and 0.725 with one out and a runner on second.

Marshall has to work on keeping down the stolen bases.

[CubinNY]

Marshall has a really good curve ball tonight.

[Jon]

He's paying a little too close attention to how Maddux pitches.

 

K!

[Brian]

[Blueheart05]

Because the marlins have 5 innings to get that run back. in the 7 or 8 they have less outs.

 

but if the Cubs didn't get the run, the Marlins would have had 5 innings to take the lead, I like 1 run lead with our pen + the conditions.

 

True, the conditions make it more digestable. It still tastes bad but im not vomitting.

 

I can't beleive some of you guys. We're complaining because of how we got a RUN!!? Yikes!! :lol:

 

The discussion started before the run. YIKES!

Interesting stuff, I never knew that.

They somehow would have made the greatest defensive play in the history of baseball. STRIKE THREE!!!

Has a Sean Marshall BandWGN started yet? Because I'd join!

[David]

I hope when Wood comes back in a couple weeks, he takes Rusch's spot. Marshall and Guzman should then get to battle it out for the spot that will remain once Prior comes back. Edited April 26, 2006 by David

Marshall is bad at holding runners on. I know he has a long delivery, but he's still a lefty.

 

Rothschild needs to work with him on that.

[Andy]

Marshall can join Murt on my man-love list of the night.
