Marquis pitch count through 3?

 

29

[Andy]

It's worth noting that Marquis's ERA coming into today was only .31 higher than Lilly's coming into last night.

 

He's been pretty solid.

In the title of this game thread, what does the CTD stand for?

 

What CTD? O:)

[jersey cubs fan]

Marquis is a lot like Jones, when he looks good, he looks really good, but he can be so atrociously bad.

He had a rough stretch where he was pretty bad, but it does seem like hes gotten back on track, Im glad to see it.

 

And we are now into the Lowe settling down part of this game where our offense does nothing from here on out, SWEET

[Sammy Sofa]

I think Lowe has sweated off 10 pounds already.

Whats up, Im at work watching Yahoo score thing.So Soriano crushed one? Marquis looks like he's crusing, is he getting lucky or does he have real good stuff?

[justin23iu]

DON'T SAY IT. Just don't.

 

Don't say what? Oh you mean that he's got a....ok, I won't say it. It's only 3 innings anyway.

I hate to say it but someone needs to....

 

Grossman?

He's looking real good.

[Keener98]

There are alot of pitchers in MLB who would kill to have the kind of movement Lowe has on all of his pitches. It is seriously like watching a whiffle ball.

 

Come on Ward time to redeem yourself.

[Banedon]

Lee's not gonna see much to hit today.

Pretty good stuff so far, however he has allowed some flyballs that worry me.

He's probably lucky in the sense that he's facing the Dodgers, who are only slightly better than the Cubs offensively.

[Banedon]

3-4-1 put out? How'd that work?

Are they statistically better...cause their lineup seems really bad to me.

Grossman?

 

Well, if either was in their 2nd year of playing full-time, then it would be similar. But both are older with plenty of experience and a track record to suggests they don't have the upside that Rex has.

[Keener98]

3-4-1 put out? How'd that work?

 

Hit off 1st basemans glove went right to 2nd baseman who threw to pitcher covering 1st.

Off Loney's glove, Abreu picked it up and threw to first where Lowe was covering the bag

[rynefan]

It's POURING rain here, southwest suburbs, Joliet.

[Keener98]

Nice throw Knoblach, I mean Fontenot

Well yesterday LA had a 94 OPS+ and the Cubs were at 93. Although after last night's game they flipflopped.

[soccer10k]

Ah yes, the good ole 4-3.

[UMFan83]

Hey hey! 4-3!
