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

[Sammy Sofa]

Wow, I am in an incredibly good mood. Marmol is better than Prozac!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ugh Glendon is starting Tuesday. BOOOOOO.

 

Are you )&)(*&_(_(_&(^_*&^ing kidding me?

 

 

MARSHALL is starting on Tuesday...

 

Yeah, it's Wednesday!! Why don't the Cubs understand that Rusch is the type of guy that ruins any momentum you have. He is a winning streak killer!!

 

I don't know. I just can't figure it out.

 

CUBS are 2-5 when Rusch starts
CUBS are 0-2 when Williams starts
CUBS are 0-4 when Guzman starts
CUBS are 0-4 when Hill starts
CUBS are 0-1 when Ryu starts

Using that list it looks like your sayin Rusch gives you the best chance of winning. But if you compare Guzman's ERA with Ruschs I think you'd agree he has a better chance of winning on Wednesday.

Good win by the Cubs today....especially considering our most potent hitter in the lineup was either Walker or Barrett and we had a rookie pitcher on the mound. We came in and took 3 of 4 from a very hot Reds team....nice job! Let's keep it going!

[Big Fergie J]

Good job Uber !....keep up the good work, dude.

I'd I'd still rather see any of those 4 start over Rusch.

And this is all about we relied on Wood and Prior. I think all us Cubs fans can see how much it has hurt us. Hopefully Hendry sees that and next offseason gets a good picther and let's go of Wood.

WGN Curse got Marmol PWNED

Who said Walker plays bad defense?

 

People who need an excuse not to like him, and have no other proof besides the (unfortunatley) accepted myth that he is a poor defender.

 

Walker is a poor defender, that's no myth.

 

He's a poor defender if you compare him to guys like Castillo/Hudson/Igauchi/, but with other 2B, Walker a mere average defender. He does the job at 2b, IMO, and that is all that counts.

No, he's pretty easily below average. By all accounts, I love having him on the team, and his bat more than makes up for any defensive shortcomings, but let's not fight hyperbole with hyperbole. Walker's decidedly below average as a defender.

[KaiserCesar]

I hope Guzman is up to be Gledon's long relief buddy and then to take over his spot in the rotation after his terrible start on Wednesday.

How is he "decidedly" below average?

poor range and stone hands typically will do that to you.

Stone hands?

Ramirez update from Cubs.com:

 

Ramirez sat out Sunday's contest after being hit on the right elbow in the fourth inning of Saturday's game. He was available to pinch-hit, but was having difficulty throwing. Baker said he hopes Ramirez will be ready to go for Tuesday's series opener against the Astros.

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm more impressed with Walker as a 1st baseman than at 2nd.

How is he "decidedly" below average?

 

He's easily worse than most second basemen. Whether you want a quantified example(John Dewan's +/- rankings in his book The Fielding Bible) or a scouting report on his defensive shortcomings, they agree that walker is not good defensively.

Great to see Marmol not only get a start but pitch well also. The Cubs have a real winning streak going. Haven't seen this in a while.
