an idea... lilly should pitch relief tommorow. like z pitch 7 innings then lilly pitch 3

[otis89]

Murton is not good at pinch hitting.

 

Entering tonight

Murton as an OF:

 

.273/.339/.333

 

Murton as a PH:

 

.200/.368/.467

 

Murton's been a lot better as a pinch hitter.

 

His pinch-hitting numbers are skewed because of the 3-run homer against the Phillies.

hey if he threw at him intentionally shouldn't lou have gotten ejected too?

I think that's only if a warning has been issued? Not sure.

[CubColtPacer]

Without warnings being issued they can only throw out the pitcher, not the manager.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Howry will pitch 6th and 7th and Dempster 8th and 9th?

 

roster move(s) coming. this really sucks for Marmol and/or Gallagher, but you can't go into tomorrow expecting Mr. Never Thrown a CG to give you 8 or 9.

 

Good point. They may send one down and bring up Cotts or Cherry depending on who is the most rested.

lilly is available for tomorrow out of the pen after throwing only 10 pitches.

dumb double switch alert. who cares about overworking Ohman, pull him once he gets in trouble.

 

Cubs next off day is 6/18. They have to be somewhat conservative.

 

conservative with Ohman? this is Weurtz's third straight game. they pulled the double switch to get the pitcher 9 batting slots away. why change pitchers before then if you don't need to?

 

cuz andruw jones was lurking and the cubs tied it

 

then don't prematurely make the double switch.

 

the Cubs are short tonight, and that double switch made them shorter.

Yeah, that's a definite possibility.

Good thing we're facing the Astros offense.

[otis89]

How do Miller and Morgan have such a hard time remembering who's playing where?

Cherry and Rapada should be ready for a call-up if needed as neither pitched for Iowa today.

howry hitting 94 mph on the gun

HAHA no wonder tiger is handing it to me.

Probably because they're covering different teams every week.

[E.J.]

Howry throwing gas. Good to see.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Howry looking good thus far.

[CubColtPacer]

With his increased velocity, Howry looks so much better than he did a couple of weeks ago.

[otis89]

Miller actually brought up a good point. Marquis may be available for an inning tonight.

just wanted everyone to know I was just speculating. no actual news as to this effect.

agreed. The whole bullpen is looking pretty good.

Eyre begs to differ.

[Coach C]

Oh, where was that?
