6/21 White Sox (Contreras) at Cubs (Marquis) 12:05 WGN

[Little Slide Rooter]

I bet Hawk over at CSN is going to spend the remainder of the game talking about how brilliant of a field general AJ is.

[BCVM22]

Can the Cubs get 6 outs without giving up 6 runs?

It's not about turning towards second or moving into fair territory. The call was right because Marquis made a slight move towards second (while he was looking into foul territory). He never actually turned towards second and tried to run, but that doesn't matter.

 

Agreed, I really don't mind the call. Marquis took a step towards second and that's all that's necessary.

What show were they talking about that they "couldn't say"?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 39-1 when they lead after 7 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[TruffleShuffle]

nice at bat Corey

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The WSI game is loving AJ for that play...but it seems they've forgotten they're down by six.

[erik316wttn]

Jason Marquis is going to become the Fred Merkle of this century. :mrgreen:

 

Mr Merkle was the only MLB'er my hometown ever produced.

 

Addie Joss played some college ball here, but Merkle was born and raised.

 

Addie Joss was a BADASS.

 

That he was, sir.

[BCVM22]

nice at bat Corey

 

But he didn't swing at a single high fastball.

[BCVM22]

I worry that Marmol's going to have a bad outing again and this game's going to be closer than it should.

[BigSlick]

Jesus Marmol

 

Wild again

[Brock]

This is the first time a CUBS pitcher has had more than 1 hit in a game since 02 June in San Diego when Zambrano had 3.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

 

Actually Z has a couple multi hit games this year already including a 4 hit game.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS' 15 hits in the game is their highest total since they had 19 hits on Fri 23 May in a 12-3 win over Pittsburgh.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Let's hope Marmol can find himself today.

[erik316wttn]

Up by 6. It's requisite Marmol time.

 

I'm a Lou defender most times, but this is just stupid.

[illiniguy]

Marmol forgot how to throw strikes?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Im not in the mood for any deja-vu today Carlos.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch for the CUBS

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Up by 6. It's requisite Marmol time.

 

I'm a Lou defender most times, but this is just stupid.

 

I don't think it's so bad. This is a good cushion to let Marmol get his confidence back in a game situation.

[BigSlick]

Up by 6. It's requisite Marmol time.

 

I'm a Lou defender most times, but this is just stupid.

You don't want to try to straighten Marmol out after he's been wild and hasn't had much work in the past few weeks?

 

I'm not opposed to it.

[BCVM22]

Another leadoff walk.

[Butterscup1679666578]

great marmol. come on.
