5/9 Pirates (Gorzelanny) @ Cubs (Marquis) - 7:05pm CSN/720

[Rob]

Nice snag by Lee.

[CubColtPacer]

i'm trying to give the girls baths/get them to bed. Still 1-0?

 

yes, it's 1-0.

[PrimeTime]

Marquis is tearing it up...We need more runs!!

[A New Era]

Murton wearing the high socks tonight.

 

 

AWESOME, now he just needs to get his stroke back.

 

YES! Go Murt!

I'm here, following on Gamecast and listening to minor league baseball on the radio.

 

I must say. I like how some of the players are wearing the high socks. Maybe Soriano has rubbed off on them a bit? Sori, Matty, Marquis. Anyone else? I think Dempster sports it sometimes.

Marquis k's swinging

Prior :oops:

I really wouldn't be surprised if Z declines to re-sign with the Cubs simply because Lou is going to Marquis for all those extra PH at bats instead of him.

Yes I know. It's ok. Try to think positive. Chin up.

Murton or Pie better start today.

 

Pie had best not be starting against a lefty, much less one who's good enough to reach the majors. Pie can't even handle minor league lefties.

 

why is he here than? Jock cant hit lefties, if Pie isnt going to start against lefties there is no reason to have Pie here to be a defensive sub and pinch runner.

 

Jacque can't hit lefties consistently but he has gotten some hits against LHP. I wouldn't start Pie against a ML lefty at this point.

 

I wouldn't start Jones against a high school lefty. He is pretty much the definition of futility vs. LHP, and has been for his entire career. Also, if the Cubs want to pump up Jacque's stats to increase his marketability then it would be highly advisable to have him face righties exclusively.

 

He hit .234 against LHP last year and .228 for his career. Pie can't do better than that right now (and that was my point).

 

In 12 ABs this season Jacque's hit .250 against LHP.

 

Lou knows he doesn't hit them consistently, which is why he's so low in the lineup.

That was close.

[PrimeTime]

Murton and Jones almost killed each other on that fly ball

[CubmanPi]

I really wouldn't be surprised if Z declines to re-sign with the Cubs simply because Lou is going to Marquis for all those extra PH at bats instead of him.

Isn't there a quote from Z out there somewhere saying he doesn't like/want to be used as a pinch hitter/runner, since his job is to pitch?

[soccer10k]

Marquis has it going right now. He's looking good so far.

[98navigator]

WOW, Marquis is on right now

[RichHillIsABeast]

Atta boy, Marquis!

[CubmanPi]

It's starting to look like the Cubs got all the runs they'll need for this game after their first PA.

[Brian]

I think Marquis pulled some voodoo stuff and stole Zambrano's awesomeness

[98navigator]

DLee singles to LF

[Omar]

Lee singles.

[PrimeTime]

Leadof single..Get him in..

[Derwood]

i really hate the Pirate broadcast

[Brian]

how long can this on base streak last ??

[cjbucks]

I think Marquis pulled some voodoo stuff and stole Zambrano's awesomeness

 

Maybe Z needs to light some candles in his locker or something to get his mojo back?

[soccer10k]

Hit and on base streak continues for Lee. Only another 41 to top DiMaggio and another 50 or so to catch Ted Williams.
