8/2 Phillies (Lohse) @ Cubs (Marshall) 1:20 CT, WGN

[WrigleyinEngland]

3-2 Mets

[C.C.]

Mets 3 Brewers 2!

 

YES!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

On the bright side, Mets lead Brewers 3-2.

I'd hardly say that my concern is reactionary based on today's performance. Hill, Marshall and Marquis have all been inconsistent.

 

I have a lot of confidence in this team making the post season. Once there I think they will struggle. I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade I'd just like to see them have a solid chance at advancing and not just make an appearance in the playoffs.

For those of us not in front of a TV, what did Jock do this time? Lose one in the sun?

 

I think he gave up on it, either thought Sori was gonna catch it or it was gonna go out. He has sunglasses on.

I get the distinct feeling that Lou might be real close to seeing what someone like Gallagher would do in the rotation.

 

I'd do that. Make Marquis your long man.

[anabiono]

i know i am not a baseball manager, but...

 

how about

 

pie in center/pagan (for relief)

 

a platoon of murton/jones in RF

 

pinch hitters/bench help...floyd/ward

 

why?????

 

why????????

 

why can't this the way it is?????????????????????

What? And replace who? They won't demote Marquis.

HIll needs to regroup. Get him reading some new books or something. We get the first two months of the year Hill back we have as good a staff as anyone in a short series.

Unfortunately it would be almost certainly be Hill or Marshall, not Marquis.

I don't think Lou would though.

Marquis. Make him your long man.

Which would be stupid (though Lou seems to have a flair for overreacting - i.e. Dempster to the rotation for 5 minutes). Gallagher (nor Mateo) can outperform the 3 guys at the back of the rotation right now.

Wrong.

Uhhh, come on Mets?

How is Marshall inconsistent?

Maybe Marquis can read Hill's book.

guzman could...how long until he is healthy...any time in the near future?

[WrigleyinEngland]

We're going to need some help from guys who can go 2+ innings, Gallagher, mateo?

[TruffleShuffle]

a platoon of murton/jones in RF

 

At this point I just want them to send Jones to the moon. He doesn't hit for power any more so he's completely worthless.

I don't agree with it either. It just seems like something Lou might do.

Hopefully next year.

Can one of the people who is saying Marshall has been inconsistent please back it up with evidence and a reason why you think so (other that 'because I do') rather than just saying it? I don't think I'm asking for much.

He had a set back in Mesa, he's not going to be ready till at least rosters expand.

I'd love for you to bring some facts with you to prove Marshall's inconsistency. It'd be fun to watch you try to prove it.
