7/31 Phillies (Eaton) @ Cubs(Marquis) @ 7:05 CT WCIU

Since I am without cable and internet at home at the moment (I'm at work now), I'm glad to see the Cubs won.

 

Would I be correct in assuming Marquis got a little lucky today in giving up 8 hits and 3 walks but only allowing three runs? How did he look?

 

Also, another great job by the pen.

 

he was actually quite unlucky. the first run was the result of some soft singles that found holes, the second was a result of a high fly by Iguchi that Jones lost sight of, and the third came on a dinger by Burrell when the pitch before very well could have been called strike three.

 

he got away with a couple pitches, but also struck out Howard and got Rowand to gidp to get out of a couple of jams.

 

it wasn't a great performance, but it wasn't like that game in Milwaukee really either.

 

That's certainly good to hear. Thanks for the info.

The single up the middle looked like it should have been a tailor-made double play. How far in the hole was Theriot? Against a LHP, I would think the SS would be cheating up the middle to help with the DP.

 

Marquis hurt himself a bit, but pitched well overall. The Burrell at bat was annoying because he was basically pitching around him after he got crippled. So he lets it get to 3-2 and throws a fastball above the belt. I have a feeling anything on the groun,d either to the infield or outfield would have resulted in an out there, given his leg problem.

Am I the only person happy that Blanco is in the minors? I don't want the guy hurt but I'm glad he's not on the 25 man.
