6 runs is the new backup save for Lou. He won't use Wood in these situations, but if we're only up by a mere 6 runs, he only feels comfortable with Howry or Marmol finishing it out. It's maddening.

 

Most recent games where we lead by more than 3:

 

7/6: Cotts-Marmol-Howry(4-1, 6-1, 7-1 by inning)

6/30: Wood for the 9th (9-2)

6/22: Howry for the 9th (7-1)

6/21: Marmol(11-5), Howry(11-6), Wood (11-7)

6/15: Eyre(7-0), Marmol(7-1), Cotts(7-1), Wood(7-3)

6/14: Marmol(6-1), Howry(6-1)

6/11: Dempster CG (7-2)

6/10: LIEBER!!!! (10-5)

 

Seriously, Lou, it's not even like our top relievers are performing that well in these situations. SAVE THEM

[BigSlick]

Everyone thank Howry for reminding Lou and Hendry that he's really not the third best arm in the bullpen

 

Hopefully Gaudin can solve

How long has Geo been in the US anyway?

CUBS are 53-0 when leading after 9 innings

 

Go CUBS !!

 

Aren't you forgetting the 9 extra inning games they've played ??

 

 

You're not reading it literally.

 

Literally, they haven't lead 53 times after 9 innings.

 

Damn, good point

 

Hornkowned again

SOTO!

He's from Puerto Rico, so technically always.

Depends if you count Puerto Rico as US territory or not

I think you'd be surprised by how much english is spoken down there, or at least how many people speak it pretty well. (I have a Puerto Rican sister in law, so I'm not just completely talking out my butt)

It was a good move to use Marmol. He has to get back on track sometime

I might be. So is he from an English language school-educated family? Sent to an English language school at a young age?

Well, he went to a high school called the American Military Academy HS in San Juan, so I think he at least got an English education in high school.

His entire life. Puerto Rico is part of the US.

[TruffleShuffle]

I'll be pretty surprised if the Cubs sweep the series. Somebody will take 2 of 3 with a close game deciding who takes the series.

 

this prediction did not go as planned for reds44
