Over 30 pitches for Marshall.

 

Lilly racked up a bunch of pitches early, too, then settled down and had a decent game. Let's hope Marshall does the same.

[BigSlick]

This is what happens when you pull Sean Marshall out of the rotation for Steve Trachsel.

 

They both suck.

[Anomalied]

Who's fresh in the pen? Eyre and Wuertz? I hope Lou can at least squeeze 5 innings out of Marshall.

Sean was sucking pretty bad before he got pulled. They didn't do it for posterity.

[Anomalied]

That fly bit with Lou was pretty funny :lol:

This is what happens when you pull Sean Marshall out of the rotation for Steve Trachsel.

 

They both suck.

 

Kind of difficult to pitch well when you are on the 2-week rotation.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kendall lined out to third base

[Omar]

According to Bob, Jason Kendall had a couple RGIs in the first inning.

[XZero771679666304]

Who's fresh in the pen? Eyre and Wuertz? I hope Lou can at least squeeze 5 innings out of Marshall.

 

I imagine Hart would be the guy if Marshall craps out real early.

Isn't Gallagher down there too?

[Roast]

Yay Riot.

Theriot doubled to right center field
