4/16 Cubs (Marquis) vs. Fathers (Hensley), 7:05 pm CST, CSN

[Bruno7481]

It seems like I'm alone here, but I'm a big fan of the hit and run so long as the batter's objective is to hit the ball on the ground.

 

Nice job by Marquis so far. He's throwing a lot of pitches, but if he can go 6 and put up a decent line I'll be satisfied.

 

trying to hit the ball on the ground isn't wise.

 

Really?

 

Neither is trying to hit the ball in the air. more hits will come via the ground than air.

 

Obviously if you are leaving line drives out of the conversation

[Omar]

Grounder to Theriot. Inning over.

[98navigator]

nice inning. Now score more runs!

[Flames24Rulz]

There you go, Jason.

I don't have the stats, but while with the Cards Marquis had a knack for coughing up leads almost immediately. This is a good sign.

[Bruno7481]

Murt needed that bad. This is the most important game in his career.

 

haha.

 

It's funny but it's true. Can you imagine what would happen if he went 0-4 tonight with a GIDP and 2 K's? He'd be a platoon player.

 

Your exaggerating just a bit.

 

"Most important game of his life?"

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

nice inning. Now score more runs!

 

QFT Cubs.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Nice inning Marquis, now more runs please!

you can't leave line drives out of the equation. the intent should be to hit line drives all of the time.

[Outshined_One]

marquis should have just hit the bastard

 

I know you're new here, but you might want to keep the language PG.

:lol: He did say something clever.

Obviously.

 

But your still more likely to get a hit on the ground vs. a fly ball.

[Derwood]

nice little start here. i'm encouraged to see a crooked number put up early. Let's not sleep on this lead please

right right

That isn't PG? I can think of much worse.

 

:D

[Omar]

Jacque batting 6th... where he should... grounds to SS... 1 down.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones grounded out to short, 6-3

[inari]

So what do you guys think the new lineup indicates? Is Pie coming soon or does Lou want to get a Floyd-Soriano-Murton outfield going? Something else?

 

Sorry if it's already been discussed.

Minor speculation that Pie is coming.

i wouldn't read too much into it

[98navigator]

:evil: Giles

[Soriano12]

Jacque batting 6th... where he should... grounds to SS... 1 down.

 

I'd pefer him 7th....or 8th with Izturis on the bench...but 6 is progress.

[Bruno7481]

Where is Bartman when you need him?

[Omar]

Giles succeeds an Alou. Where's Bartman when we need him?
