GEAUX THERIOT...

[C.C.]

Do you let Marshall finish it?

[soccer10k]

Can we please get some insurance runs?

[Bixby]

German with a solid single to left, no more no-no

 

I've never seen a guy bat flip after a single before, hahah

 

He's Esteban German, you know that's going to be the highlight of his career. He'll tell his grandkids about breaking up that no-no.

 

Aaron Miles made an error on what should have been the third out of the inning.

 

Go Royals.

[Omar]

How many pitches for Marshall?

[Guest]

Only 1 K? This is the Sean Marshall that was in the minors rehabbing earlier this season.

 

Is he racking up the groundouts?

 

Grounders and soft fly balls-there haven't been that many hard hit outs tonight.

 

Good, if he's not racking up the Ks at least he's got his sinker working. 8 solid, not bad for Marshall.

I love the announcers reaction too: "...aaand you're a star..."

[anabiono]

Do you let Marshall finish it?

 

no

 

the trash got sprayed with fabreze today

[soccer10k]

Marshall could go out there for the ninth. Only at 94 pitches.

[Andy]

Alright, let's get a run here and then turn it over to Dempster.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 24-24 when they get at least 8 hits..... 4-11 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[TruffleShuffle]

next three guys are only 1-11 against Marshall this game, but him against Sexson would be scary.

[OleMissCub]

I love how awkward the celebrity bat kids are when they have to wave for a solid minute.

[weis21]

have dempster ready and if a runner gets on bring him in

[Fred Hornkohl]

Woods in to pitch for Seattle

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

Marshall could go out there for the ninth. Only at 94 pitches.

ok bullpen better not suck tonight

[Fred Hornkohl]

K Hill grounded out to short, 6-3

[Butterscup1679666578]

Barrett PH for Marshall.

[C.C.]

next three guys are only 1-11 against Marshall this game, but him against Sexson would be scary.

 

That would be scary. It would also be scary with Dempster.

[Andy]

BTW, Marshall came in with 2-2 and a 2.08 ERA. He's been getting screwed. Can we please not do that this time?

[soccer10k]

Guess we'll see Dempster in the ninth. Not sure why Lou is pinch hitting with his backup catcher though.
