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

Kevin Hart is horrible.

[Ski]

Argh.

[CubinNY]

Alright gentleman enough of that. C'mon Cotts pitch strikes.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cotts in to pitch for the CUBS

[CubbieBum]

someone remind me what Hart is doing on this team the guy is no where near big league ready

[tfarks]

About time for Marmol

[Little Slide Rooter]

Kevin Hart is horrible.

 

Just his way of saying you should have brought up Hoffpauir or DuBois.

[UMFan83]

I'm almost positive we will see either Marmol, Wood or Howry in this game. Our middle relief in games with large leads has been amazingly bad it seems like.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fred, what's the Cubs record when attempting to go 21 games over .500?

 

0-4

[Fro]

These guys need to get some outs so Lou doesn't go to Marmol and Wood.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bowker flied out to left field

[UMFan83]

Can you guys believe Hart was on our playoff roster last year?

[CubsNSkers07]

Alright cotts now DP ball and get out of the inning with minimal damage please.

[E.J.]

Glad Cotts can only face one man in a lineup.

[CubsNSkers07]

Well Howry in, hopefully he gets a DP ball and goes the 9th so we don't have to use Wood or Marmol.

[RedFlash]

Can you guys believe Hart was on our playoff roster last year?

 

0% chance he'll be on it this yr.

[UMFan83]

Dammit I wish I knew that ESPN Classic was showing the NBA Finals videos for all 6 Bulls championships all day.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howry in to pitch for the CUBS

[Fred Hornkohl]

Aurilia bunted out to the pitcher, 1-3

[Illini Iceman]

Can you guys believe Hart was on our playoff roster last year?

 

Do you remember how he pitched at the end of last year? 11 innings pitched and only 1 run allowed so I think he earned his playoff roster spot. Not sure why he can't get it together this year.

[CubsNSkers07]

Aurilia bunted out to the pitcher, 1-3

 

A bunt to get the runner to 2nd? I realize Randy Winn is probably about their only clutch hitter but what does 1 run do for you except get you in grand slam range?

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm almost positive we will see either Marmol, Wood or Howry in this game. Our middle relief in games with large leads has been amazingly bad it seems like.

 

How would you know? I documented it the other day that Wuertz and Lieber hadn't pitched with a lead in over a month.

Looked fine in his first inning but maybe Lou should take note if he goes 1,2,3 get him out because thats all your getting out of him.

After what I've seen from both players today I vote from bringing Hill up and sending Hart to Mesa.
