7/26 Cubs (Harden) vs. Marlins (Volstad) 12:05 cm CT WGN

So where is this awful defense from Hanley I keep hearing about? His arm's not great, but his range looks above average.

I think he has always had the talent to make great plays, it's just that he sometimes screws up the easy ones.

 

It would be nice if he started to screw up some easy ones against us.

[Hall7810]

Marmol still.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hermida struck out swinging

[Andy]

The correct call was made, but I don't know why Sinatro was tossed so quickly. I am watching without volume and I know that he slammed his helmet, but this happens quite frequently with baserunners going down the line and being thrown out and they don't get tossed.

He was tossed quickly because Rob Drake is a grade-A punkass who doesn't deserve his job.

Yeah, he has looked really solid out there this series from what I've seen.

 

C'mon Marmol!

[Hall7810]

I hope the fastball location light went on for Marmol.

Ok, that's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure. That was a total joke.

[tenritsu]

On what pitch does Hermida homer?

The pitch that doesn't exist.

It's cause he spiked his helmet.

 

Lou on the other hand, shouldn't have been tossed nearly that quickly.

And needs to fully button his shirt. You're not on vacation, jerk.

Lou sure got ejected quick. It was only after the quick hook did he then become really pissed off. When Len said he was ejected i was wtf for.

[splintersag]

I've missed the last couple games since the ASB, so I'm wondering if Carlos Marmol is back to his normal self. I've been looking at the box scores and it looks like he's been getting a lot of K's, but also a lot of BB's. Right or wrong?

Players don't slam their helmets down because they're mad at the call all that frequently. They'll toss their helmets towards the dugout sometimes when they made a third out but rarely do they do it when they believe a bad call has been made.

REED!

[BCVM22]

Reeeeeeed

[splintersag]

REED!!

[weis21]

Gritty catch Johnson :cool:

[killthegoat06]

RJ!!!

[Andy]

Yay Reed

[big_shooter17]

Wasn't Lou ejected for just about nothing by this clown last time, too?

[bcruise]

Jimmy would've done a full gainer.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Oh this is that same mother effer that tossed Lou earlier in the year?

 

No, this is the first time we've seen this crew this year.

Len Kasper disagrees.

 

In checking... Drake isn't part of this crew, he's a fill in, and he was at the Cell earlier in the year with a different crew.

[Hall7810]

Reed Edmonds.

[Outshined_One]

Well done, Reed.

Fred, while this is our first time with this crew, Drake is one of those subs. He was at homeplate in the Sunday game at the cell.

He was the ump who "ambushed" Lou when he went to ask the first base ump about the check swing.
