Even though Phelps just missed that double, he was overmatched in that AB. I figured it was a matter of time before he swung and missed for the K.

 

And that 0-1 pitch was a total strike. I mean it was thigh high and had most of the plate.

 

Not really.

 

It was well inside and curved to be caught in a much better position than it crossed the plate. It happens.

 

But yes, Phelps was well overmatched.

 

Says the Cards' fan.

MARMOL JUST DID WHAT VALVERDE DOES!

 

EVERYONE OSTRACIZE MARMOL NOW!

 

Come on, did he jump up and down, do a throat slash, flap his arms like a rooster, and mess his pants?

 

close. he jumped, gave a primal yell, squatted, clenched his fists.....let's not be complete homers about this. I'm on record saying I don't care that either act like they do, but let's not pretend that the Cubs don't do it

 

But it's ok when a Cub does it. Duh.

The difference is that Marmol does it after he just got himself out of a potentially game-saving jam, and Valverde does it after getting 3 straight outs with his team up 2 or 3 runs.

Rationalization it is, but the next time a Cub pitcher goes nuts after a meaningless strikeout, I'll be sure to call him out just for you.

Cubs HR this series: 0.

 

Cubs wins this series: 1.89

 

I hope that turns to 2 real quick. I was just thinking, "hey, Sori could hit one and that'd be nice." and then I realized we don't have one this series.

Valverde does it EVERYTIME. Marmol does it once, thus it was just emotion. Valverde is a routine/show.
