6/8 Cubs (Marshall) @ Braves (Cormier) 6:35 CSN, TBS

Marquis didn't.

 

Marquis won, and only gave up 2R 1ER, but he wasn't exactly lights out. That game could have gotten ugly if the Brewers could have gotten a big hit or two.

7-2 on Saturdays.

 

We got this.

I don't know if this was brought up, but wouldn't tonights game have been the perfect place to get Gallagher's feet wet? Otherwise I can't complain, nice little win.

 

Yeah, Lou pretty much tries to put the wrong relievers in, it's the only logical explanation.

 

I was just going to post something about Gallagher not pitching. He's been up a couple days now, and hasn't pitched in quite some time since his last start. Why not let him get his feet wet in a blowout? Don't understand it at all.

 

The only thing that makes sense is with Marquis and Lilly going the next 2 days, Lou wanted a long man just in case. Both of them last time out struggled so I think hes just covering his ass.

 

Marquis didn't.

 

You must not have watched him pitch. Marquis was in big trouble in the first and 2nd, and was saved by great defensive plays. He only lasted 5 innings I believe also, because of high pitch total. If thats not called struggleing then I dont know what is.

I believe Marquis struggled as well because he kept having runners on, but the defense didn't help him nearly as much as you implied.

Yes, the Ramirez play in the 2nd was amazing. However, the two double plays in the first and 2nd were routine (and 1 of them was started by Marquis). Also, Jones let a ball he should have caught go for a double which caused most of the trouble in the 2nd, and the infield let a pop fly drop between them for a hit which didn't help either.

For the most part, Marquis just did a good job of pitching out of jams (some that he created) all night long until he had to come out because of his pitch count.

Yeah, I didn't look at his line close enough when I was putting it in today's game thread. Ten baserunners (7 H and 3 BB) in 5.1 innings isn't too good. I just looked at the runs allowed.

I agree the D was shaky, but the first DP was not routine. when the ball was first hit, I didn't think they stood a chance at turning it. I think Theriot was playing short at the time, he had to field moving to his right and coming in (with the runner crossing in front of him) forcing a throw across his body. he executed well. DeRo made an outstanding turn with the runner bearing down and made a real strong throw. the only reasons a DP was even possible was DeRo's strong arm with a catcher running.
