6/2 Super Cubs (Z!) @ Padres (Baek) 9:05 pm CSN/WGN Radio

We had better not see him again until Thursday

[chuckywang]

Marmol is making my arm hurt just watching him pitch.

[TruffleShuffle]

lou should get fangraphs in the dugout. if the cubs are less than 20% or more than 80% to win, he shouldn't be allowed to use marmol.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Lou has lost his [expletive] mind.

I'd like to see someone compile a list of Wuertz's performances and what the situations were (winning or losing, by how many, and what inning). I'd be willing to bet there is a noticable difference in performance based on game situation, and not in a good way.

 

He's given up 9 earned runs this year, five of them in two games where he recorded no outs. We won both of those games. He hasn't given up multiple runs in any other game this year. In fact, we've only lost one game this year in which he gave up a run(s), the 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh on May 24.

 

A) I'm talking aout career numbers, not a 2 month sample size

 

B) The numbers you just gave me are not very telling since they don't account for situations like tonight. He didn't give up a run but he clearly was not good.

 

Close and late, in his career, he has a .575 ops against. What a choker.

2008:

 

late and close: .184 .225 .263

tie: .158 .227 .211

within 1 run: .229 .269 .313

 

DAMN YOU, FACTS.

 

Those aren't the numbers I asked for, but okay.

[BCVM22]

These slow starts to innings where he'll go 2-0, 3-1, are becoming more frequent for Marmol.

Yeah, but does that account for when he walks 2 guys with a 4 run lead and our child-like manager pulls him??????

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gerut walked

[Careless]

I hate you, lou Piniella.

[inari]

Marmol having an extended inning is even more frustrating.

WHAT. SHUT UP. YOU CRAZY. GET OUTTA HERE.

[CubsGM]

Yay extra pitches

[weis21]

pull Marmol lou!

[TruffleShuffle]

cubs had a 1 in 50 chance of losing this game coming into the 9th inning. bang up job, lou.

 

i wonder if reporters will keep trying to claim that lou is thinking big picture.

[Coach C]

If Lou uses Marmol I'm gonna flip

 

I don't even care if not using him causes us to lose this game, we can't use him this much

 

Yup, Lou really needs to start seeing big picture with Marmol. If he continues to use him in nearly every Cubs win, no matter the score, there is no way he'll have anything left.

 

I'm sick of it and it would be nice if someone from the media called him out on it.

 

*feedback* Paging Bruce Miles. Bruce Miles, please report to the NSBB Game Thread, thank you. *click*

 

 

*cough*

[sneakypower]

leadoff walk

 

PULL HIM

[Fred Hornkohl]

Iguchi popped out to second base

[BCVM22]

I feel nervous.

[Fred Hornkohl]

B Giles blooped a single to shallow right field , Gerut to second

[CubsGM]

I love maple bats

[17 Seconds]

One more and the tying run will come to the plate.

[inari]

Damn it. Wouldn't it be awesome if Marmol throws twenty more pitches or so and the Padres get within one so we have to use Woody too?

[Careless]

Oh good, stupid is warmng Wood

[BleacherBadger]

These bats are going to get changed quickly. Broken bat almost hit the kid from Jerry Maguire.
