7/12 - Giants (Corriea) @ Cubs (Harden) 12:05, CSN TV

[Butterscup1679666578]

This is completely unbelievable. What was Lou thinking.

[imb]

Remember when everyone was concerned about overusing Marmol... and the Cubs decision was that he needed to be pitched more often? What in the world

[CubsGM]

Thank goodness we didn't use 3 pitchers in one inning...oh wait.

[UMFan83]

I can't believe Lou only used Gaudin for 2/3s of an inning.

 

What a horrible, horrible inning. Marmol needs to go on the DL and Lou needs to stop abusing the hell out of him. This is pure insanity.

 

and Cotts for 1/3 of an inning.

 

We still have Lieber, Marshall and maybe Wood? who knows.

[Little Slide Rooter]

It might be time to see what the Rockies want for Fuentes.

[Outshined_One]

This is completely unbelievable. What was Lou thinking.

 

That's the problem. He wasn't thinking.

[CubsNSkers07]

Welp Harden 0-0 as a Cub leaving the game with a 7 run lead interesting. Thanks Marmol and Lou WTF! Please hit a walk off somebody. Ward? If he is a Pinch Hitter.

[Mizzou]

This is completely unbelievable. What was Lou thinking.

Seriously.

[Soul]

Someone needs to call Lou to task for this. This is horrible managing, period.

 

Thanks for ruining Harden's first outing Lou. Now we're going into extras probably with no pitchers. Chances are good this is now a loss.

 

NICE JOB.

[Careless]

for those who couldn't see, a hard grounder that theriot dives for and gets. he tries to toss it to second (not a short toss) while lying on his back, and throws it wayyyyyyyyyyyyy over the base, into right field, allowing the tying run to score

[RynoRules]

I would have pulled Marmol after they got within 3, but its hard to blame Lou for the dumb play Theriot made. Game might be over otherwise.

[Sarcastic]

I cannot believe Marmol was allowed to pitch so long in that trainwreck inning.

[Ski]

If we do not win this, I don't know what I'm going to do.

 

Seriously, I should feel comfortable in the 9th with a 5 run lead.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Walker in to pitch for San Francisco

[killthegoat06]

haha marmol can get the least-earned win of all time here

[Outshined_One]

Lou's feet need to be held to the fire for this one. There was no reason for Marmol to be in this game whatsoever.

[UMFan83]

Now watch for a walkoff and Marmol get a win in a game where he gave up 5 ERs in 1 IP

[Mizzou]

Wait, he pulled Edmonds from the game? LOL.

[XZero771679666304]

Again, Theriot is a defensive liability.

[bhogg]

How about a big ol F-YOU to the wrigley faithful.

 

Giving up the lead stinks.

 

Lou leaving marmol in stinks.

 

However, our team is in 1st place. They have the best record in the league. [expletive] happens over the course of 162 games. Things could be worse. Things have been worse.

 

Far be it for me to think the cubs could score in the 9th and win the game.

[David]

I cannot believe Marmol was allowed to pitch so long in that trainwreck inning.

 

I still don't understand what I just saw.

[TruffleShuffle]

This is completely unbelievable. What was Lou thinking.

 

That's the problem. He wasn't thinking.

 

it's like he kept hoping that marmol's struggles would just iron themselves out in this game. i understand starting the inning with him with a pretty comfortable cushion, but when he is putting everyone on base it's time to go to marshall.

[RynoRules]

Remember when everyone was concerned about overusing Marmol... and the Cubs decision was that he needed to be pitched more often? What in the world

 

There is something strange going on there. Lou usually has a quicker hook than that.

[Soul]

I would have pulled Marmol after they got within 3, but its hard to blame Lou for the dumb play Theriot made. Game might be over otherwise.

 

Yeah but that's not the point. Lou's an idiot for letting Marmol continue to blow up out there, regardess of what Theriot does. The man's arm is swiss cheese, Jesus.
