Come on Kerry. Hold it.

I don't say it often, but that was a great strategy by Lou to use Soriano first, since Arizona was likely walking whoever it was in that spot anyway.

Marquis, pinch runner extraordinaire.

[erik316wttn]

Is there any reason Lou likes Marquis as a pinch runner so much?

[Careless]

Is marquis going to set some sort of pinch running by a pitcher record?

[Keener98]

Welcome back Daryl Ward welcome back.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Good grief....I thought that was a GS for sure the way it came off his bat.

[Anomalied]

Fontenot is weak

[Outshined_One]

Daryl Ward is back to being the fat kangaroo. He gets on base, and a pinch runner comes out of his pouch.

 

In this case, the pinch runner is Jason Marquis.

[Bote McBoteface]

Marquis in to run again. Haha, wtf.

He shoulda used Cedeno, who's less of a threat than Soriano, despite the early season numbers. But still enough of a threat that AZ had to walk him. Not much of a deal though, as Soriano had to come in anyway.

Because if he gets hurt, no big loss.

Well, usually teams avoid PR with a pitcher because they don't want him to get injured so he can continue to pitch. I'm not sure that's what the Cubs see in Marquis, however.

[erik316wttn]

If you told me coming out of Cincy that we'd be playing this well against the best team in the NL, I'd have said you were nuts.

[17 Seconds]

Melvin is stupid for not pitching to Soriano when he needed a K. At least try and get him to chase a couple pitches out of the zone.

[rawaction]

AZ pen has been horrible this series. They were one of the best coming into this series.
