8/7 Cubs (Big Z) @ Rockies (Jimenez) 8:10 PM; CSN; WGN Radio

I know, but neither are John or Vincente.

 

I'd rather not burn an option with him, though, especially considering the Cubs have had him on a strict pitch count pretty much every start. There are options at AAA who could fill in if need be. They're not good options, but they're options nonetheless.

That's a good point.

[DiamondMind]

Wow he's fast.

 

It didn't even look like he was running that hard.

 

huge strides

[Outshined_One]

STOP FOULING OFF PITCHES.

 

Thank you.

[bcl412]

Has he thrown 100 pitches yet?

[illiniguy]

STOP FOULING OFF PITCHES.

 

Thank you.

Quit throwing cement mixer curves and that will happen.

[DiamondMind]

Has he thrown 100 pitches yet?

 

60!

[Outshined_One]

Has he thrown 100 pitches yet?

 

He will if he pitches another inning. He's over the 60 pitch mark.

[Sammy Sofa]

Is there a reason everyone is talking like the Cubs couldn't or shouldn't pencil Marshall in to the rotation if Z goes on the DL? Yeah, he's not looking good tonight but it's a last minute start in Colorado for a curveball pitcher.

[TysonCBulls423]

This reminds me of the beginning of the Aramis Bomb game against Milwaukee.

[DiamondMind]

Wow!!! Good job Milton

[Outshined_One]

Awesome choice, Fowler.

[Roast]

Nice arm, Bradley.

[Careless]

I'm not sure I've ever seen someone thrown out so badly trying to score on a fly as that (when they didn't fall over or stumble)

[Schwarber Fan]
