Marshall Leaves Game Due to Injury

[Outshined_One]

Just happened a few moments ago, announcers speculated it was something involving his oblique.

[FloridaCubbie]

Prior is infectious?

[sherwood921]

As long is it's not serious I think it's a blessing in disguise.

[abuck1220]

it looked like something on the left side of his body...either his arm or his side.

Unless he misses a couple of weeks and they decide it would be best to give him more experience by pitching through September.

[CubsBullsBears]

Great!! Another arm ruined. Hey, job opening!!!

If you want your arm ruined, come to the Chicago Cubs and Dusty Baker where they'll play you to ruin your arm!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[UMFan83]

That leaves Prior, Wood, Marshall, Eyre, and Lee as the list of wounded

[Outshined_One]

Strangely enough, the Cubs have actually been careful with Marshall this season. I believe his highest pitch count on the season was 102 (which he hit three times).

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Let the Guzman v. Hill speculation begin.

[Outshined_One]

Oblique pull it is!

[mg420]

Let the Guzman v. Hill speculation begin.

 

guzamn was pulled in his last start due to cramps and since hill is starting today his schedule matches marshall's so i dont think there is much to speculate about- unless they would consider bringing up ryu instead of hill for some inane reason.

[C.C.]

Hill will be called up. No doubt.

How is his arm ruined?

[abuck1220]

if he has to miss a start and hill (who is on marshall's schedule) does not get called up, i may finally lose it.

I'm putting my money on Rusch back to the rotation......and Wuertz called up to replace in middle relief.

Agreed. I didn't see his injury occur, but I'm assuming it's minor and will work as a nice unexpected rest so he can finish the season strong.

I wasnt watching the game... but on the radio it sounded like it was his leg.. not his arm. I say shut him down for the season or until Baker is gone. So that we dont ruin his arm.

Isn't Rusch DLed from Prior's activation?

Rusch pitched last night in relief for Prior and they sent Theriot down to make room for Prior.

[dvdd127]

With this injury, I bet they call up Hill or Guzman. Then if Prior get hurt again or Maddux gets traded they will call up Wuertz and make Rusch a starter

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Blah.

 

I guess Hill will be freed.

[dvdd127]

Blah.

 

I guess Hill will be freed.

hu?

[CubsBullsBears]

Blah.

 

I guess Hill will be freed.

hu?

He wants Rich Hill on the MLB team and not sent down every time he stinks it up.

[abuck1220]

for those that don't venture to the minor league forums...hill's line tonight...

 

7 1/3 ip, 1 h, 1 bb, 0 r, 14 k's.

 

can't wait to see rusch out there in five days!

[NewUserName]

If Marshall misses a start I am willing to make a large wager that Rusch will take his spot. It is really obvious if you follow the Cubs at all.
