9/27 - CUBS (Trachsel) @ Marlins (Olsen) - 3:05 PM CT WGNTV

[St.Paul Cub]

Freaking Trachsel. We should've pinch hit for him in the top of the 2nd.

[JimSorgi]

sean marshall has pitched 4 innings this month. FOUR

Yeah, but he doesn't have experience so he's worthless now! Duh!

[Keener98]

Now is when we let Olsen settle in

[Post Count Padder]

1 down

[TruffleShuffle]

I sure hope we let Trachsel pitch in the playoffs. His experience is valuable. :roll:

Playoffs?

I think were trying to build on Trachsel's potential and get him some late season action. Trachsel's prime years are ahead of him.

[Soul]

Now is when we let Olsen settle in

 

Yep, the offense has done its scoring. Time to sleep.

[Post Count Padder]

Hey, a hit

[witty alias]

It certainly looks like we will blow this division.

 

Unless Milwaukee blows it more.

 

Maybe the Brewers will sign Ricky Bones to counter the Cubs stellar Trachsel decision.

lol

[CubmanPi]

Broken bat flare hit. 14 more of those, and the Cubs will have made up for all the ones they've given up this week.

[soccer10k]

I would love to get excited about Rammy's 1 out single but I know one of two things is going to happen:

 

1) The Cubs get nothing this inning

 

or

 

2) The Cubs score this inning only to have Traschel give it back in the bottom of the third.

They should bring back Kolb and start him.

[E.J.]

Is 4 in the afternoon too early to start drinking?

[CubColtPacer]

I'm convinced he's either injured or has a dead arm. There's no rational explanation for why he and Sean Gallagher haven't pitched this month beyond that.

 

Yeah, I think Marshall's arm is gone. He was pitching shorter and shorter outings (hadn't broken 85 pitches since July) and was starting to lose command in the starts he made.

 

As for Trachsel, I think they'll try to squeeze him one more inning if his spot in the order doesn't come up all the way around this inning.

[David]

At least it looks like the hitters know to be patient against Olsen.

My thoughts exactly

[weis21]

such a stupid move to start trachsel!

 

lol at 47 pgs in the top of the third.

It's happy hour somewhere in the world!

Hell they could just start Turnbow.

If it's not too early for Cubs baseball, it's not too early to drink.

[Butterscup1679666578]
