8/31 Phillies (Moyer) @ Cubs (Marshall ) - 1:20 CT WGN TV

[Old Style]

Did anyone else think Soto was safe at 2nd on that force place? I'm not sure Rollins ever touched the bag.

 

DAMNIT MARSHALL! :banghead:

[Guest]

Sean must be stoned today. He looks a little slow.

[TMan92]

Oh well....Was nice to make it close for 5 minutes.

[Ski]

I thought Cubs pitching only sucks if we tie the game or take the lead, not pull within one!

It looked like he got the bag with his toes coming down.

I officially endorse Jason Marquis not losing his spot in the rotation to Sean Marshall.

[inari]

Get Moyer out and get out of this inning!

This is what happens when you don't announce your pitcher until Sunday morning. Marshall was probably out late partying, not thinking he'd be starting.

 

 

(BTW, I'm kidding)

Did he have the ball in his glove at that point?

[TMan92]

Great job getting out of the jam Sean.

[UMFan83]

OK now I feel better about last inning.

 

Who can be our long man? Marhsall should be able to go more than 85-90 pitches, which might not take him into the 5th.

[Ski]

Yesterday, the Phillies got out of a similiar jam, and scored 2 the next inning. Let's score now Cubs!

[TruffleShuffle]

Yeah. Rollins had to jump to get the ball and it looked like when he came down he touched the bag.

Time to denounce Marquis and re endorse Marshall, cause it would be like 52 billon to 2 right now if that thing we call a 5th starter was pitching :D

[UMFan83]

C'mon ARam rip a double somewhere.

This Jason Marquis hate is absurd.

[inari]

C'mon ARam rip a double somewhere.

 

A home run would also be adequate.

52 Billion? Damn. If a good number 5 starter gave up more runs than all other pitchers combined in the history of baseball in 3 innings imagine what a bad number 5 starter could do.

It was his birthday yesterday....might be right

Less likely with the wind. I am trying to be realistic here.
