7/1 Brewers (Bush) vs CUBS (Marquis), 1:20pm, WGN-TV, XM 188

[Brian]

going to walk Hill to get Marmol out of the game ;)

[otis89]

Marmol's going to bat.

[soccer10k]

Marmol was pure filth that inning. Absolutely nasty.

 

Maybe they're playing it safe with Marquis because of the broken bat incident? Is my TV crappy, or does he have a bruise on his cheek?

 

Did you see the first inning?

 

Yeah, when the broken bat flying at him. Does he have a bruise on his cheek? I can't tell if he does or if my TV just sucks.

 

When they showed him in the dugout in the bottom of the first his cheek looked red so it would surprise me if he had a bruise.

[Coach C]

Nice walk Koyie.

[98navigator]

Koyie batting RH, walks

He's having a good year people....its true. Its ok to admit it.

Its better than it might be. I'm still a little tentative.

 

I think a lot of people (myself included) are still waiting for the other shoe to drop.

 

From what I read in the paper today, Marquis has the second best ERA, in MLB, among all pitchers that signed FA contracts last season (Lilly is 4th). They both have been inconsistent but overall very good.

 

I don't think it is unreasonable to think that he could keep his era under 4 and win 12-13 games. He has been bad in recent years, but his peripherals are pretty good this year, and it's not like he hasn't had a good year before.

 

Not saying he will, but I think there is a good probability at this point.

[otis89]

3 outs to go, Marmol!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining at all about what he's given the Cubs this year. I'm just not sold that it will continue. I hope it does and will definitely be rooting for him.
