6/25 Cubs (Marshall) at Twins (Radke) 1:10 CST WGN TV

[CuseCubFan69]

Marshall hung in there and continued to pitch...this guy will be fine.

[mul21]

Those couldn't have possibly all been earned runs could they?

Jones grounded out to second, 4-3

Marshall deserves better than this. I hope he stays mentally tough and learns from this.

 

As much as people here have been drooling over Marshall, his numbers have not been all that good this season. He's handled himself well, all things considered, but I don't think he's proven much more than any other pitching prospect in this system.

 

I mean, for heaven's sake, his ERA is 4.92 with an away ERA of 6.53! That's just dreadful.

 

I don't think drooling is the word. No one projected him as a number one starter. He made a huge jump from the low Minors and he's held his own.

Murton struck out swinging

How in the world is this a professional baseball team. Dusty needs to go so bad. I cannot believe how inept this team is at doing things that are just considered playing the game the right way. Nobody uses cut off men, baserunning is a disaster, and the worst thing possible is the horrible approach both offensively and pitching. People can say what they want about that being the job of the Larry and Cline/Sarge, but in the end it should come down to Dusty. I'll be at the game Friday proudly wearing a fire Dusty shirt.

 

Not only that but kids like Murton and Prior has actually regressed under Baker. Where is the coaching?

I'm watching now to hear Bob rip into the team. This is great.

We'll he's young...He barely pitched AA ball. Look at Maddux stats his first year...

 

Look, I'm as big of a fan of the young guys and minor leaguers as anyone else on this site, but people around here have weird double standards. Some people have been yapping about how Marmol and Marshall are better than Hill, when in reality I don't think any of those three guys stand out above each other. A number of people on this site seem to be operating under the assumption that Marshall has been performing quite well this season despite evidence to the contrary.

 

There's plenty of promise for the future, but for right now, Marshall has just as much to work on as Marmol and Hill do when it comes to making the necessary adjustments to being a good major league pitcher. Face it, he hasn't had a good season. I don't know why a number of people on here have not accepted that yet.

Let me add that I've seen him pitch just twiceso that's all I can talk about but both times he has battled and teams have struggled with his curve. I think he will get better and just keep sending him out there every forth day for 80 pitches or less.

I agree that Dusty should go but you tell me how these same guys will be better with another manager? The players are fundamentally flawed (and so is the organizational model because they continue to chase guys that aren't good baseball players).

Ford flied out (foul) to left field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barlett grounded out to third, 5-3

[Derwood]

Kent and Moises threw a fit when Stone complimented Oswalt on a solid pitching effort. Brenley better check his car for dynamite wired to his ignition if he keeps taking them to task.

Marmol and Marshall are better than Hill, when in reality I don't think any of those three guys stand out above each other.

 

At least Marmol and Marshal has shown some sort of talent and poise. Hill has no poise, walked the world, and just was flat out awful with a 9 ERA.

[Blueheart05]

In other news, the Cardinals are on the cusp of being swept in back to back series. I'm listening to KTRS on MLB Audio and in the midst of giving up the go ahead runs, Rooney mentioned that the Cubs are down 5-0 to the Twins (he didn't offer any other scores). LOL

I'd like to see Hill and Guz out there too and trade Maddux and give him a chance to win somewhere. Move Marmol to closer in Iowa and move Dempster to a contender and then call Marmol up.

Hanks' fly ball reminded me of my old wiffle ball days!

Well I agree with giving Hill and Gooz starts for the rest of the year, but trading Dempster is not wise. Marmol never even tried to close.

Bob doesn't have anything to worry about. Remember we got rid of all the bad apples. Now our clubhouse is full of guys with great character and good chemistry. :lol:
