6/11 Cubs[Marmol] @ Reds[Milton] - 12:15 pm CT on WGN

Walker lined out to right field

Why does Pierre even bother to bunt? I mean it's always giving the team an easy out to start the game. I'd rather him just leave the bat on his shoulder and hopefully get a walk...

It would certainly give him a better chance of getting on base.

My god Juan Pierre is struggling. :(

Marmol:

 

Rookie. Pitcher. Making first major league start. Not facing the Cubs lineup.

 

I don't feel good about this.

It's past struggling to flat out sucking! What happened to this guy? You would think he would at least try to take some pitches and get a walk. Terrible

Everyone knows walks are overrated. :twisted:

I honestly don't expect much. Reds can flat out hit fastballs no matter how hard the kid throws. This we'll be interesting.

Remember when Pierre was good?

 

Me neither.

Solid first inning by the rookie....

[Transmogrified Tiger]

15 pitches after an 8 pitch AB to Freel, solid.

[Shavo]

Good inning my man Marmol.

[illiniguy]

Marmol looked pretty good again. I am so glad to see him given this chance. Have they said what Guzman's role is going to be with the club this time around? Please take Rusch's spot.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 21-17 when they don't allow any runs is the first inning.... 4-19 when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[PepperBrooks]

A very nice start. The kid's poise is very impressive. :)

Nevin grounded out to third, 5-3
