8/13: Gm 2 Cubs (Harden) @ Braves (Campillo) 6:15p CDT CSN+

Marmol will give up 9 runs.

[third eye]

And why did Cox get ejected in the first game?

arguing with Joe West about the delay over the lights being turned on

I would not have been able to guess that

I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't witnessed it live

He really is sterile.

 

 

:-k :?: :!:

After watching Harden pitch, I can get an idea of why he is a very good pitcher, but he is definitely not in that ace class. Has he always rung up big pitch counts in his career. His ERA is excellent, but is there a big difference between a 2.50 ERA over 5 innings and a 3.00 ERA over 7?

 

if he stayed healthy enough to make all of his starts, he'd throw over 200 innings. He's an ace.

Drama and suspense are overrated. I like nights like this better. :thumbsup:

 

Me too :)

 

White Sox fans can have their Konerko Grand Slam, Red Sox fans have have Dave Roberts' steal. I'll take 10-0, 10-0, 10-0, 10-0 in a potential World Series thank you :)

[Ding Dong Johnson]

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Marshall

[Schwarber Fan]

Marshall.

 

Lou makes the right move :shock:

 

I guess Samardjiza's starting Sunday then?

[chuckywang]

Has Bob talked at all this inning?

He's still watching his son play

What? He was there the first game.

You might be right, and its hard to argue with his numbers. I'm not really basing my opinion on numbers as much as what I've seen (probably my first problem). He has ace stuff, but has too many 5IP 93 pitch games for me to consider him an ace in the class of Johan, Webb, etc.

Why? Samardjiza did pitch in the first game, 2 innings as well...

[BCVM22]

Time to stand!

[UMFan83]

Why would you presume that? Jeff threw 2 innings today.

[Schwarber Fan]

:oops:

 

Forgot about that

Just cause Marshall throws 1 inning here, doesnt mean he still cant start on Sunday. Hell Jeff went 2 or 3 innings the 1st game

Marshall and Samardzija would probably piggyback though I'd prefer Mitch Atkins (who's scheduled to start tomorrow for Iowa).

he's also missed a lot of time over the past few seasons. hard telling how much of an effect that has on his control and stamina

[Little Slide Rooter]

Lets finish the job tommorow night.

[BCVM22]

Hoorah.

[Schwarber Fan]

Great day, Cubs

 

lets keep it rolling tomorrow :good:
