8/12: Cubs (Marshall) vs Rockies (TBA) 2:05 PM WGN

[inari]

So is Marshall good or not? Is he decent? Is he trash? I really have no idea at this point.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well, the Rockies are hitting Marshall like he's Tim Harrikala or something like that.

[jaydee]

Man, I just want to go back to last month. It was a lot more fun.

jury's still out, but he's far from trash

[C.C.]

We should be mashing this guy. He's got no deception what-so-ever! This is a gimme game.

[RynoRules]

2.5 back and fading fast?

 

Not really surprising. No matter what anyone says, we're not a real good team.

 

Take 2 top run producers out of any lineup and most teams won't be real good.

 

they weren't real good with those guys.

 

yeah, 18 games over .500 in a 35 game span (or something similar to that) isn't good.

 

 

just overlooking the other 80 games are we? give me a break.

 

Just ignoring the fact that the vast majority of good teams lose as many as 70 games in a season?

 

what?

 

let me know when the cubs go 92-70.

 

You appeared to argue that a team's performance over 80 games is a good indicator of how good they are. You ignored the fact that they play 82 other games. If a team goes 35-45 in the first 80 games they can still win 88-90 games and contend for the playoffs by going 53-29. Thus your argument ignores as much as Cubbies75 did.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

It's time to hit this chump.

His delivery is quite tricky :lol:

[inari]

Wait, this guy wasn't even playing minor league ball until late July? Jesus Christ...

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Just this old man's 2nd major league start... :shock:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ok...DeRosa gets a little something started.

[inari]

A home run here would do wonders to create some positive vibes.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ok...there's Fontenot!

 

Get some runs, guys!

[inari]

As Len said, I've seen this movie before. This team doesn't deserve to win if they squander this chance again.

i don't even get what you're saying, and i really don't care.

 

i said they weren't real good. he said they were because of a good 35 game stretch. i pointed to the other 80 games they've played as evidence that they're not...i'd say 115 games is a better sample size than 35.

[killthegoat06]

Score some runs, losers.

[inari]

Thank you.

[Butterscup1679666578]

WOW

[Sammy Sofa]

How the hell did he do that?

[Guest]

It's not surprising that Hill or Marshall are struggling in Colorado, I bet they can't wait to get the hell back to sea level where their offspeed pitches will break.

[jaydee]

Wait, this guy wasn't even playing minor league ball until late July? Jesus Christ...

 

 

looks like the cubs realized this just as you did!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

There we go!

 

Come on Pie.

 

This guy has AAA stuff, you should be able to hit him.

[FeArThEbEaRd]

finally a little something to get excited about

[inari]

Unfortunately, I have no faith in Felix to make contact in this situation...
