9/13 Cubs (Trachsel) @ Astros (Williams) 7:05 CST CSN WGN720

[C.C.]

hey maybe marmol can just pitch every inning for the rest of the year

 

Might as well use him, we aren't going to need him for the next series. Oh wait....

[Bruno7481]

I really don't like Marmol out there for a second inning.

+1. This is really really stupid.

 

He threw 12 pitches in the 8th, and hasn't thrown that many in the 9th.

 

He's fine.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

One more out!

"Not that great a catch" - Astros color commentator

 

Yeah, only saved one run, that's all. You prick.

[Prior4CyYoung]

We have a million relievers for a reason use them!

[Mizzou]

I don't have a problem with Marmol pitching the 9th. He was off yesterday.

[minnesotacubsfan]

mmmmm love me some marmol

He's fine.

 

But why use him? There is no reason to.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

I say this a lot.

 

Jacque Jones is a very good defensive OF.

 

yessssireeee..drives in runs with his glove....

 

when his arm doesnt matter, he is outstanding

[Fred Hornkohl]

Anderson, pinch hitting for Quintero, walked

[NYF]

Gotta tip your cap there.

 

tip your cap, give the finger, whatever...

I wouldn't mind a heart-attack free 9th for a change.

[SouthSideRyan]

Yeah, Marmol shouldn't be pitching here.

[E.J.]
