[KingCubsFan]

Is Ramirez starting in their rotation? How can you go three innings in your final spring training start? I'm not sure if Kerry Wood could even reach his pitch count limit in three innings

[RichHillIsABeast]

Dang. HoffPOWER!! couldn't come through. He must be feeling ill, b/c there's no way that ball doesn't leave the yard if he's 100%.

Is it too early in this game to say Marquis looks sharp? :P

Yes, I'd say so too. This is pretty damn encouraging.

[98navigator]

Doesn't he pitch to contact?

Marquis doesn't exactly miss bats does he?

 

No, he really doesn't.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if I found out 80% of his limited strikeouts are of the looking variety.

 

Ha, nice trivia question.

[otis89]

All the ground balls are very encouraging. Keep it up, Marquis!
