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

[cubfan1955]

Eric Milton will throw a perfect game today.

 

It's amazing. He almost threw a no hitter against the Cubs when he played for the Phillies. He held them practically hitless his last against the Cubs and now he is on that track today.

 

I don't even think he flirted with a no hitter against another team.

Obviously it has something to do with the Cubs lineup. :P

[Shavo]

It's pretty safe to say Milton loves facing the Cubs

 

BTW MARMOL MARMOL MARMOL

[C.C.]

YEAH KKKKKK! Is this guy from a trade? Or is he from our system? We did good with Marshall, maybe Marmol'll turn out ok.

We have always done well in the system with pitchers, once they get to the big legues though Dusty likes to destroy their arms.

 

Who's arm has dusty destroyed?

 

Wood, Prior, Fox off the top of my head.

 

EDIT: And then there was the time he accidentally used Bobby Brownlie's ligaments as catfish bait....

 

Wood and Prior? First off Wood has been destroyed since highschool, and as far as I know Prior has never had surgery right? Also is Running into Giles or taking a line drive off the elbow is Dusty's fault?

In 2003 Wood's arm was fine that year coupled with 04 and the pitcher abuse he put on Kerry have essentially ended his career.

 

Pitcher abuse crap proves nothing! I'm sick of all that talk. Power pitchers get hurt...From Beckett to Burnett to Ben Sheets. Every pitcher is different.

Right and when abused they are more likely to get hurt.

Marmol look good...REAL GOOD! Great job so far.

Len and Bob said over the last 4 games he has only given up 3 runs.

 

I did see his last outing against the Cards and he did look good. Not no hitter worthy but very good indeed.

It's really as simple as that, and Dusty continually pushes the envelope with his starters.

You people are talking 2003! Three years ago! Let it go. Believe what you want to believe.

[sweetpeteman]

No hitter is gone.

[da bears]

Hey no hitter is gone!

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Alright way to go Murton!!!!

[cubfan1955]

The Cubs have not been no hit since September 9, 1965 at Dodger Stadium. I listened to that game on the radio.

 

Thanks Murt. The streak lives!!!

Exactly..in fact, over the last 3 starts for him, we have given him the most trouble our last time facing him. Here they are

05/26- 8 IP, 3H, 1ER, 9K-Arizona

05/31-7.2 IP, 6H, 2ER, 1K-Cubs

06/06-7 IP, 5H, 0ER, 3K-St. Louis

 

Sometimes a pitcher is just pitching well-would the other team be doing pathetically if Z was pitching this way right now?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

thank you Murton, now please start hitting some XBH.

So it's not ALL because the Cubs suck. But it is partly to blame. No HITTER broken by big Murt!!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nevin grounded out to short, 6-3

Murton singled to left field

Well I guess we have to baby their arms then.

Clap clap clap clap.

Jones singled to right field, Murton to second

No you don't have to, but when they last two years and become shells of themselves don't blame the pitchers.

Not letting our starters consistently throwing 120+ pitches isn't babying them in the slightest. That's an exaggeration and oversimplification of the argument.
