Cubs in the WBC

[Vinestal]

How is Soto doing? I cant find WBC box scores anywhere.

According to the official Cubs site, he's batting .500 with a walk in 4 AB's.

He must have felt sorry for 2 pitchers. Otherwise, he'd be batting 1.000.

Hope Marmol's appearance tonight is NOT a predictor of how his season will go!! :cry:

[mdwilla]

He looked terrible tonight, the pickoff throw brutal to watch. What a game though.

Marmol lost both games for the Dominican. Season over?

I just hope that stupid baseball logic leads to him staying in his former role (the same stupid baseball logic that has people, himself included, wanting him to close)...

[Old Style]

Marmol must be broken again. Someone get a roll of duct tape and some Super Glue.

[Vinestal]

I watched that inning and he didnt appear to have the slider at all, he threw fastballs almost exclusively. I think he just needs more work to get a feel for his breaking stuff.

Then ST seems the appropriate place :wink: .

Marmol gave up zippy inthe first game. Volquez took the loss even though he gave up no earned runs.

Weird, ESPN has him listed as 0-2. They do have Volquez as the loser of the first game though.
