Nicely done. His numbers are continuing to pile up.

 

Yep. Despite his wretched beginning of the season, he's about at his 40th percentile PECOTA projection, so he hasn't quite put up the numbers expected of him, but he's headed in the right direction. Even if he cools off a little bit, he should end up doing about what was expected of him before the season started.

 

And with Lee back in the lineup (and hopefully a couple more bats) next year, he should continue like this all year next season.

[da bears]

Well this is a terrible start to the inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Helton walked , Kim to third, Caroll to second

[sethuel1]

Cubs have a lead! Let's see if they blow it in the bottom half.

Pretty much. He's projected to decline slightly each year until 2010, when the decline is projected to be a little more pronounced.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Yay. The lead doesn't even last a half an inning.

[da bears]

Hahahaha you idiot Marmol. That certainly didn't take long.

[cheapseats]

Marmol wants Baker gone.

[louisvillecub]

Doggone it! :evil:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Atkins homered to left center field Kim, Caroll & Helton scored

[Laura]

"not THAT good of a strike, though!"

Blown..

[InconspicuousZ28]

Bases loaded, no outs, and he runs up a 3-0 count. Great position to be in.

[PrimeTime]

Marmol sucks...He cant be consistent...To many walks.. then when he throws a strike,throws it right down the pipe... Get out of there you bum

[Fred Hornkohl]

[sethuel1]

[Fred Hornkohl]

[UMFan83]

Wonder why they think he'll decline every year? Not like he's old.
