8-1 Cubs keep it rolling at home 1:20 CSN

[PrimeTime]

I just got in..Are we seriously getting owned by this nobody on the mound? What has been with the offense lately at home

[illiniguy]

Man Doumit is having a great year. Can he catch at all Jake?

[mul21]

Jason Marquis ERA+: 96

Sean Marshall's ERA+: 109

 

Those don't mean much since one is a starter and the other is a reliever. Marshall is used mostly when he has the matchup advantage, so you'd expect his ERA+ to be fairly good.

 

Except if he was bad he wouldn't have that good of a nuber since he has started several games and wouldn't still be in the bigs if he hadn't done pretty darn well. Not to mention the 3 IP and 1 run he gave up in Harden's last start.

[C.C.]

At least Marquis is keeping us in this game. Hopefully our offense gets it going. I was afraid of a emotional let down.

[WrigleyinEngland]

Marquis settling down a little come on 'O'......

[RedFlash]

I have a quite confidence about this game. I fully expect a late big inning from the Cubs and we'll win this game something like 4-2, 5-2.

[swordsman]

Gotta love all the people hating on Soto...unreal.

:roll:

I was hating on his aprroach that inning, not him.

 

Attack the at bat, not the batter. -NSBB board rules

[mul21]

If Marquis can give us one more shutout inning, you really can't ask for much more from him. Not bad outside of the 2nd.

Pitt's going to score a couple more.

Do people really need to be able to justify a bad performance so badly that they need to label it somehow? I just don't get why people have such a hard time accepting that a lot of things in life (and baseball) have to do with luck/variance. If the best team doesn't win, there doesn't have to be a "reason" for it. It just happens.

 

If the Cubs lose today, it's because they didn't score more runs than the Pirates. It has nothing to do with a "letdown."

[C.C.]

Oh for a Sori bomb.

[David]

Why do all of our freaking hits/baserunners seem to come with two outs...

 

Oh well, at least Soriano can take one deep.

[David]

It might just be my perception, but it seems like Soriano has been working much better counts lately....

[PrimeTime]

Ugh. I hate this 2 outs crap. Now it takes another timely hit to get the run in.

[Bote McBoteface]

Long single to right? Was he not hustling or did the right fielder just play it incredibly well?

[erik316wttn]

Yeah.... I don't think it's happening today, boys.

[PrimeTime]

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[illiniguy]

Damn why the hell was wilson shifted so much?

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

Maybe Kosuke coudl get his monthy HR right now?

[Choonch]

A streaky offense is not a recipe for success in October. We really need to start getting some consistency.

[Vinestal]

fail fail fail. *sigh*

[David]

Yeah.... I don't think it's happening today, boys.

 

 

Seriously?

 

The game is over in the 6th inning?

 

You would think that, with the way the Cubs have played this year, people wouldn't react this way still... :-s

[C.C.]

Damn! Gotta hold'em.

[David]

A streaky offense is not a recipe for success in October. We really need to start getting some consistency.

 

You mean like we're consistently good in the games we win and consistently bad in the games we lose?

agreed. I like my offense like my bowel movements.
