6/26 Orioles (Liz) vs Cubs (Marquis) 1:20PM WGN

[BigSlick]

I want 2008 Lee to change back into 2005 Lee

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Two outs. :x

[BigSlick]

I'm pretty sure I have to turn this off, I can't take this.

[inari]

Jeeze. This guy sucks pretty bad.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ramirez walks.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Jeeze. This guy sucks pretty bad.

 

He's their top pitching prospect and was one of the top pitching prospects in all the minors. Granted his status has fallen a lot.

[cubweiser03]

Damn i just checked the score and saw the 5 spot.

Damn.

[inari]

Edmonds was swinging for the fences.

[TruffleShuffle]

BOOOOOOOOOOO

 

when every outing involves hanging by a thread, eventually the thread is gonna break.

 

 

yeah, to illustrate some of the deficiencies of ERA and ERA+, he's been better or equal to last season so far (101 ops+), 4.43 ERA, but with a whip of 1.47, his era was bound to take a tumble eventually

 

not only that, his K-rate is down to 4.57 per 9 innings, and he's walking guys at basically the same rate as last year. his LD% is 21%, which is his worst figure since 2003, so he's actually been a little lucky on balls in play. he's giving up ground balls and fly balls at similar rates to last year, but the HR/FB rate against him is about 50% of what it normally is. the ERA might be ok, but all the peripherals are bad, and basically every sign points to him getting worse.

[E.J.]

He's got good stuff, but has absolutely no consistency.

I'd love to think that if we acquire a new starter, he'd be there to replace Marquis and not Gallagher... but I think that's probably not the case.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Damn.

 

3 outs. :x

[anabiono]

well...booooooooooooooooooo

 

happy birthday to me

 

thanks jason~!

[BigSlick]

Why couldn't we have stopped the bleeding at 3, why does it have to be 5? Five seems so much more insurmountable, especially when our players are just...ugh doing so many wrong things.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I just need to say it again...Marquis =

[BigSlick]

We're not going to give you another 9 run inning Marquis, you loser.

[inari]

If the Cubs have any illusions about winning this game, they need to pull Marquis now.

They could do something useful like...scoring against a terrible pitcher.

[inari]

Not a particularly good throw by Lee.

[BigSlick]

Jesus the bleeding just will not stop

 

Marquis is intent on pitching us completely out of the game

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Lieber needs to warm up in a hurry.

[inari]

Jesus the bleeding just will not stop

 

Marquis is intent on pitching us completely out of the game

 

I think he's already done that.

[TruffleShuffle]

that'd be a very poor move. their ERAs may be similar, but gallagher's peripherals offer much more promise than marquis.

[JoshiQ]

You are the worst, Marquis.

Yes, but Hendry signed Marquis and we are going to use him for all three years.
