5/2 Cubs (Marquis) @ Pirates (Snell) - CSN/720

[C.C.]

105 pitches... ehhh, undecided here.

 

Pull him and turn it over to Wuertz

 

Let him finish.

DWard PH'ing for Marquis

 

Bayliss pitching

 

Lou>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dusty

[TruffleShuffle]

who is jonah bayliss and why does he pitch every game

[Brian]

sounds like Dempster is warming if Pat is right.

[C.C.]

Marquis out of the game

 

BOOO!

[cheapseats]

PC is 101? Send him out and let him finish it or let Wuertz take care of it? I put in Wuertz simply for the fact that Marquis has a history of being crap in the 2nd half. Less wear and tear now may help out later.

 

Aside from the injury risk involved in leaving a starter in the game for too long, there's research that shows a strong correlation between a high pitch count in one game and a poor performance in the subsequent start.

Cheap save?

Ward walks!

 

5 walks today

[Wheelimus]

I have no problem with removing Jason. He threw a gem, was about where I'd want him to be cutoff pitch count wise, and it's a save opportunity.

 

My problem is with pinch hitting him with Ward...I would have rather let Marquis bat and then make the switch. :D

 

However, since he took a walk, I take it back. :lol:

Wow!

[98navigator]

Demp is warming now. He wants a save apparently b/c Wuertz was up.

 

Cedeno PR for Ward

[Brian]

how about another homer Fonz?

I'm not sure about that move.

[98navigator]

Sori doubles

 

ALMOST OUT

[CubColtPacer]

Ward is now tied for the 5th on the team in walks despite only having 10 at-bats-he has 7 walks to go along with that.

[seanimal]

Nice hit, Sori

[Chocolate Milk]

Darnit. That was a huge crack on the radio.

[David]

Sori's on FIYAH

 

Edit - He hit it the other way, too. Nice!

I have no problem with that. Ward needs to hit some to stay sharp, Marquis had a good day and with a 3 run lead there shouldn't be any issues with leaving the bench short. Plus, you still have Murt available.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

here is a quote from my dad..."when you are in heat, that's how you hit" hahahaha

 

atta boy soriano

[soccer10k]

Soriano almost hit another one.

[98navigator]

how about another homer Fonz?

 

He missed it by inches.

[TruffleShuffle]

get wuertz back up... don't use dempster you don't have to here
