7/3 Astros (Cy Clemens) vs. Marmol (and crap) 7:05 CSN

[Fred Hornkohl]

Berkman homered to left field

[Brian]

good thing Rusch is back :roll:

[texascub]

96 that time but in another bad spot. I think he'll settle down, his pitches are excellent his command just hasn't showed up yet.

[Brian]

IMO, Marmol will be the best of this class of pitchers (hill, guzman, marshall, ryu etc.)

[Tim Burr]

The two runs just matched the total runs they got for three games with Clemens pitching. Maybe they do better if Garner isn't managing from the dugout? :shock:

Lets see what Marmol can do now with a little adversity after those 1st inning homers.

Im with ya. Gooz still intrigues me though.

[texascub]

Wow if Ramirez would've connected on that swing it would've gone well over the train tracks.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez popped out to to shortstop

[Blueheart05]

JACQUE

[Brian]

JACQUE <3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones homered to right field

[texascub]

That was a long homer, The Rocket has some nice movement but his location is horrible tonight.

[Brian]

ick, Jacque hugged Dusty :(

[PrimeTime]

Jones is a freakin machine right now

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barrett grounded out to short, 6-3

[texascub]

Pagan looks really sad at the plate , that bottom lip hangs way out when he's trying to pick up the pitch.

Maybe so, but I still believe if people are locking Marmol and/or Marshall into this rotation for '07, then they're thinking too small. Nobody knows what will happen with these two.

 

Not saying automatically no, but I haven't seen anything that tells me they should have secured jobs as starters.

I'm not saying he should be starting '07 in the rotation, but I just think he's going to be the best of the bunch.

I don't think they've secured a spot either, but they've shown me enough that I think they'd do pretty good in a competition for slots during spring training. Unless we go out and spend some serious money on a few starters, they're already got the upper hand on anything else we've got.

Top of the second, Fred.

[Friendly Confines]

Fred, your little stat line has the Cubs scoring 0 in the second, not a big deal but i thought id mention it

Perhaps. He seems awfully Cruz-esque to me right now though. I hope he can learn more control and learn how to pitch.
