5/13 Fathers (Estes) @ Cubs (Marquis) 7:05 CSNC

[Flames24Rulz]

Len is making excuses for Edmonds.

 

He's ours. :(

 

Len is Jim Hendry's unofficial official PR man.

[Schwarber Fan]

Haha Len, "Talk about the Cubs brining in Edmonds at some point" - he'll be the starting CF tomorrow

 

and now the skies will open...

[Careless]

Come on lightning!

 

And it doesn't look like the storm is going to get here in time

Rich Hill it is.

 

See ya Jason!

 

Now to just come back and win this game...

[CubsGM]

Just an FYI, this is the worst offense in baseball owning Marquis

[mul21]

DFAing him and eating the salary wouldn't be all bad considering he'd be replaced by a combination of Hill, Marshall, and Gallagher all making less than $0.5 million.

[erik316wttn]

How does Jody Gerut not play for nearly 3 years, and then come back and rake? And why does he have to do it against us?

 

Because we're the Cubs.

 

Did this question really need to be asked?

[SouthSideRyan]

Reed Johnson isn't playing well you [expletive].

[splintersag]

Jason Marquis, please GTFO of Chicago.

[Outshined_One]

My attempt at reading Larry's lips during the conversation on the mound:

 

Larry: "You suck. You really, really, really suck. Just pretend you're a major leaguer for once."

 

And no, Lou, Reed Johnson has only been good against LHPs. When you hit him against RHPs, he turns into a lesser version of Neifi Perez.

[Little Slide Rooter]

If there is a God, we've just witnessed Jason Marquis' final inning as a Cub.

[Soul]

Marquis must go. I don't care where, but just somewhere away from this team. Send him to Arizona for some vacation time or something.

Marquis must go. I don't care where, but just somewhere away from this team. Send him to Arizona for Max Scherzer

 

Fixed

646 ops against lefties going into today. Higher against righties after that HR eysterday

 

But generally correct

[rawaction]

Padres have hit the ball hard enough that they could still be batting in the 1st inning with some luck.

[inari]

Given that it's a night game, it's a sad possibility that he just might start tomorrow.

[17 Seconds]

Now Estes will shut us out.

[Soul]

The bold "Larry thinks he can fix him" experiment is a complete and utter failure. Get rid of Marquis NOW.

[RedFlash]

Just an FYI, this is the worst offense in baseball owning Marquis

 

Padres are the worst team in baseball offensively, and Marquis gave up 4 runs to them. (But to be fair, Z gave up 3 runs to the same Padres offense). The Cubs are a Top 3 Offense in baseball, so I doubt 1 win is going to beat the Cubs, especially with Estes on the mound.

 

I say the final will be 9-4, Cubs.

[Schwarber Fan]

SAFE!

I suspect one win will be enough to win this

Nope.

Z gave up 3 runs in 7 IP.

 

Marquis is lucky to have given up 3 through 4.

[BigSlick]

one question, when you meltdown why do you always give up hits to the pitcher?

 

I understand giving up hits to everday position players, but how stupid/terrible do you have to be to consistently give up hits to pitchers?

[Soul]

Jim Edmonds would never let this happen.
