9/6: LA (Lowe) at Cubs (Marquis), 1:20 pm CDT; CSN

[Pushfrog98]

that same pitch that hit pierre has been called a strike before...

[Keener98]

Marquis really getting the ball up, Id get Marmol up right now

[BigSlick]

Wonderful, Marquis gives up a homer, we can't score, and now he lost all his control.

[CubColtPacer]

How does Daryl Ward have a .340 avg? He sucks, and shouldn't come within a whiff of starting ever again.

 

No he doesnt suck, he can hit, but he shouldnt be starting I agree.

 

He is starting because we don't have Aram in the lineup today.

 

There are better options

 

Ward's easily the best offensive player the Cubs have to play RF. There is no one else even close.

[Elrhino]

It's too obvious what's gonna happen here

 

Relax. This is Jason Marquis on the hill. Not Carlos Zambrano.

Pierre doesn't have to move out of the way, this isn't softball

[moorecg]

ummm...

 

this seems like the time where bad Jason might have entered the game.....if he loads him he needs to be pulled...

[CuseCubFan69]

I'll never understand why the Cub pitchers just don't throw the stupid ball down the middle of the plate when Pierre is up. They seem to make him so much better than he is.

Murtons 2nd half disagrees CCP. And hes a career PH for a reason, the guy cant field, cant run.

[Keener98]

Marquis should be done. Marmol is now up in the pen

[C.C.]

C'mon guys score some runs.

Murton's 2nd half: .295/.353/.526

Ward's 2nd half: .368/.442/.684

 

It's not like Murton's the best fielder or baserunner either. When Ramirez is out, the Cubs have to put their best pure hitters at the plate in order to try to generate some offense, and that's Ward.

[Schwarber Fan]

Marquis should be done. Marmol is now up in the pen

 

He's given up 2 freakin hits and 1 run!

[Banedon]

Marquis should be done. Marmol is now up in the pen

 

If we don't get to the pitcher spot in the order, I bet Lou keeps Marquis out there for another inning.

[Schwarber Fan]

I bet he tried to pull it

[C.C.]

Marquis should be done. Marmol is now up in the pen

 

He's given up 2 freakin hits and 1 run!

 

:?:

 

And he's only @ 68 pitches. If he's not due up this inning let him go another inning.

How many pitches for Lowe so far?

Hes getting the ball up in the zone way too much now, and was stuggling with his command. You take 6 innings of 2 hits and 1 run from Marquis, no reason to push this more. Let your bullpen work

[Schwarber Fan]

Marquis should be done. Marmol is now up in the pen

 

If we don't get to the pitcher spot in the order, I bet Lou keeps Marquis out there for another inning.

 

How many pitches for Lowe so far?

 

84 currently

[inari]

I went out to do some things for school, I was for some reason expecting we would have kept piling on. Of course, we let Lowe settle in and now the offense is asleep.

[gerby23]

[RegulusBlue]

Jones is the cancer of my life.

[cubbyvirus00]

I hate how Lowe isnt even hitting the strike zone. He's kind of wild.
