6/24 CUBS (Marshall) @ White Sox (Contreras), 1:05pm, WGN-TV

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Cub killer......Mackowiak

[TruffleShuffle]

Why's Marshall done after just 81 pitches thrown? I'm distractedly watching the game, was he seriously laboring?

 

Marshall was throwing fine, and Dempster is not available. This was a dumb change.

 

didn't the sox go like 1-66 against someone's bullpen last week? not saying he shoulda pulled him, but going from a soft tossing lefty to a hard throwing righty might just put the dagger in a team that clearly can't adjust to new pitchers.

 

they weren't doing crap against the guy who was in there already

[Yeti]

fred, check your PM's yo

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Marmol struggling a bit this afternoon.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Mackowiak, pinch hitting for Terrero, walked , Iguchi to second

[Soul]

Wow that last pitch was clearly a strike.

 

At any rate, has Lou used Marmol too much? Maybe he's a little gassed?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 20-10 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 14-29 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[jjgman21]

the Contreras corners have disappeared.

[Soul]

Crap, come on dammit get the last out.

[RichHillIsABeast]

a strike would be nice.

[nilodnayr]

I'm watching on gamecast and they had all 4 of those pitches in the strikezone...

[Guest]

Not sure why you pull Marshall at 81 pitches. :?

[98navigator]

Thank you Marmol

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Alright.....more runs please.

He pitched an inning yesterday, and before that had 3 straight days off.

hey, i said i didn't agree with the choice, but i can see where they got their inclination to do so.

 

we also don't know if marshall said something to lou or larry when he was in the dugout last time. he didn't seem to argue too much when lou came out for him.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

good ol' CB tried his best screw us that inning

[nilodnayr]

I watched yesterdays game, but I'm following on gamecast today. Can anyone tell me who they thought looked better, Hill or Marshall? To me, Hill didn't look that great yesterday and his curve was hanging up in the zone a ton and getting hit hard. Is Marshall doing better?

That is very, very true. Marshall was neither surprised or upset. They had hit 3 or 4 warning track flyouts the last few outs, so maybe he told them he simply didn't have much left in the tank, or maybe they decided it themselves and he just agreed.

Bucknor sucks.

Santo and Hughes are saying they believe he asked to be pulled.
