Invasion of the body snatchers

[soccer10k]

It will be interesting to see how well Lilly and Marquis will cope with the wind blowing out once it warms up. I've been pleased with their control so far.

 

this excludes hill, but i said it in the game thread: marquis (specifically, but lilly to an extent) reminds me of rex grossman early last season. rex threw several interceptable passes when he was doing well, the other team just wasn't catching them. later on, corners weren't dropping the ball. same thing with here. there have been more than a few fly balls that end up on waveland in july and august thrown, and it will catch up to them. hopefully not...

 

Marquis cannot keep this up if his peripherals stay the same. It's going to be like batting practice come July, I just hope our offense is as good by then as I think it can be.

 

 

P.S. TSB > Funeral, but other than that I liked your first set of albums better. :-)

 

While Marquis isn't likely to continue to have an ERA under 2, Zambrano isn't likely to continue to have an ERA near 8. Hopefully they balance each other out. Hell, even if Marquis' ERA goes up by three runs from what it is now (4.88) it will still me more than a run better than last year. That's still not great but it's better than a lot of people expect out of him this year.
