8/18 Cardinals (Reyes) @ Cubs (Marshall) 2:55 FOX

[Roast]

Now we've got people swinging at balls that hit them? Yikes

 

Yeah, despite what vance said, the ball hit him in the air. God his breaking ball is wicked.

[YearofDaCubs]

How in the heck did Marmol get out of the inning without giving up any runs? WOW

[KenCub]

Wild pitch, Albert slides head first, his hand appeared (at least to me) to go over the plate but doesn't touch it, Marmol tags him near his Pujols, and he's out.

Duncan swings for strike 3 on a pitch that hit him. He's out no matter what else happens.

Always fun to watch the Cubs and Cards go at it, that's for sure.

[Schwarber Fan]

TO EVERYONE THAT DOESN'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON:

 

With Duncan at the plate, Marmol uncorked a wild pitch, Kendall made a spectacular play to flip the ball to Marmol covering home to get Pujols. Albert argued although it appeared he never touched home.

 

On the next pitch, Duncan swung and missed as the ball hit him, making him automatically out.

[Outshined_One]

What happened exactly?

 

Wild pitch way wide of the plate, Kendall played it off the bricks perfectly and threw to Marmol who tagged Pujols out at the plate. Okay so Pujols was safe and Marmol tagged him late on the rear end but.......I'll take it.

 

Pujols never got home plate, from the angle I saw. The ump was right on top of the play and made the right call, imo.

Now that the inning is over, can someone please tell me when the Farns started wearing eyeglasses while pitching?

 

He's been wearing them all year. But, I'm not sure if he started it this year or at the end of last year.

[YearofDaCubs]

I know Duncan does well against RHP but I don't think he's ever seen Marmol before :lol:

[da bears]

i wish our offense would do something.

Sometime last year I think. He needs the Rick Vaughn black skull glasses.

[KyHen]

Duncan is so smooth out there.

[CubsBears29]

Just showed sky over 1st base side... it looks BLACK!!

 

CMON and rain already!!!!!

[Outshined_One]

Duncan was only hit because he swung into it, to boot.

Also, if you slow it down...it appears that Marmol actually tags the shoulder as the hand is going in before finally swiping the glove on the rear. He got him.

Either way, I'll take it. :wink:

It's like the old days with Kerry Wood.

Poor Fernando Vina.

Uh yeah... Cards have threatened a bit in each of their last 2 half-innings.

Too add:

 

The ball got away after it hit Duncan and he ran to first, where he just beat the throw, but the ump made no call because he can't advance on a ball that hits him. LaRussa halfheartedly argued.

Why did Lou take out Marshall?

that's great. I might have to shrink it and sig it.

[KyHen]

That's not accurate.

 

This is not to say that it was not a horrible swing... It was unbelievably bad. I'm just saying that it was not that far inside.

[Schwarber Fan]

Why did Lou take out Marshall?

 

He couldn't throw strikes.

Poor Fernando Vina.

 

Considering he was David Eckstein before David Eckstein was David Eckstein, I have no sympathy for him.

[da bears]
