STOP WALKING PEOPLE!!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

STOP WALKING PEOPLE

 

JUST STOP IT

[swordsman]

One more out, boys.

 

Play at any base, look sharp.

 

Let's Go Cubs!!!

Let's Go Cubs!!!

Let's Go Cubs!!!

Time for Everett to go yard.

naw that was the hitter that got on because he couldn't field the grounder

[Brian]

Pop out to dlee

let the ball trickle off his glove into the OF

 

no runs should have scored

[RichHillIsABeast]

wow, Marquis only gave up 1 run that inning. A-mazing.

[YearofDaCubs]

Even without the errors I always felt Izturis was terrible. 3 errors? hahaha.

[BeerHere]

91 pitches through 5 for Marquis

STOP WALKING PEOPLE!!

 

In fairness to Marquis, guys with electric stuff tend to walk people.

 

Nolan Ryan had several seasons in which he walked 4 batters or more per game.

[Vinestal]

Well that was an unearned run correct? None of the walks scored? Marquis really hasnt been so bad, I mean I dont like 3 walks in an inning but if they dont score I really dont care about em.

[C.C.]

That could've been a lot worse. Marquis is battling...

[Brian]

Fun fact, Marquis didn't give up a hit after the first inning.

[BigSlick]

5th inning is a bit early for the Cubs offense to tie it up and then defuse again.

 

Nothing to see here, folks.

Jason Marquis

5IP, 4H, 4R, 3ER, 4BB, 3K

 

He's 3 outs (and no more ERs) away from respectability.

[UMFan83]

I just have no other explanation for this franchise. Gold glove defensive shortstop makes 3 errors in a game, 2 in one inning no less. Cursed

[BigSlick]

Except...the walks advance the lead runner...so they did score.

Nah. We'll score 3 and lose by 1.

[soapy]

score runs, jerks.

 

izturis, start making up for sucking

I'll take that from Marquis. Especially when Izturis is playing for the other team.

[CubColtPacer]

i haven't seen a cub take a 3-2 pitch in years.

 

They've done that 7-8 times already this year-of course half of them were called strike 3.

 

how many times have they had full counts?

 

they're only working the count so that they can swing later.

 

Like I said, at least 7-8. Barrett and Izturis took pitches on 3-2 counts yesterday, for example.

I was referring to the DeRosa ground ball where he looked to 2nd, but threw to 1st and the runner scored from 3rd. Was Cesar not covering 2nd for the DP opportunity?

[BeerHere]

Is it me or does it seem like the Cubs routinely struggle the first time they see a pitcher? I think the Cubs have the worst advance scouting in baseball.
