4/29 Brewers (Sheets) @ Cubs (Marquis) 7:05 CSN

[Roast]

Darn, just missed, soto.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Eventually, unless Marmol went five innings, one of these guys would have had to pitch. And this would have happened anyway. Unless they find more relievers who can get people out, it doesn't matter when Marmol gets used.

 

Equivocation. There are high-leverage situations and low-leverage situations. Kevin Hart in a high-leverage situation = deserve to lose.

I hate first pitch outs!

[CubsGM]

Atta boy Ramirez. Sit there and stare at a called strike 3 on the outer half of the plate. After all, Crawford has been calling that pitch all night. :banghead: :banghead:

Crawford left 3 hours ago.

ALRIGHT! Wuertz is up, all is well.

 

Actually, through his last few outings he has looked to have turned the corner IMO. Feel free to quote this if he screws up next inning though.

OK. :wink:

 

To be techincal, he didn't come into the "next" inning when I wrote that. And uh...yeah, he sucked. I was dead wrong

[Flames24Rulz]

this team won't finish above .500

 

Why because the relievers suck in april? They did last year and we won the central.

 

Why because Marquis sucks? He was actually good the first half of last year and they won the central.

 

It's early

 

Marquis sucks. The rotation is going to be a relative question mark all season. The front end of the bullpen isn't that great. These were problems I was worried about before the season started and they're probably going to be problems all year long.

 

That being said, we should be able to overcome those problems because we do have a real tough lineup and we still do play in the NL Central.

Here comes the groundout.

If you think our rotation is a question mark now, wait until Dempster stops pitching to a .190 BABIP and Hill is replaced with Jon Lieber.

Will Murton get a ball past the pitcher?

Explain to me how that helps your point?

 

I'm drinking, lay off.

[CubsGM]

Cubs are a basehit away from getting in "Slam Range"

[chuckywang]

These Brewer pitchers appealing freaking everything is really starting to annoy me.

[Roast]

Will Murton get a ball past the pitcher?

Yes. Barely.

 

haahaha

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Will Murton get a ball past the pitcher?

 

Yes, but not by much.

[Sammy Sofa]

The Murton Special?

[Mugged By Fluffy]

Will Murton get a ball past the pitcher?

 

just barely. lol

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Plz let Ward hit fro Fontenot.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Is there some sort of record for highest percentage of infield hits by a slow guy?

Now there's an example of equivocation.

 

Marmol pitches the 6th-there will still be an unreliable pitcher in a high-leverage situation. Unless you want to give him more innings, after which everyone will complain about how he's getting overused.

[bcl412]

base hit and a homer would be awesome.

[CubsGM]

SLAM RANGE!

[Roast]

YES!

 

FONTENOT! I DON'T REALLY HATE YOU AS MUCH ANYMORE

[haubrich91]

Maybe I was wrong.

 

9-7!

[Garage Party]

Whoa! The game ISN'T over!!

[C.C.]

Hmmmm.....
