4/7 GT Cubs(Dempster) vs. Braves(Jurjens) 6:10 CST CSN+

[UMFan83]

Time for the unproven bullpen to prove itself. I gotta tell you I'm gonna be on the edge for the next 3 innings.

[Little Slide Rooter]

harden has 80 pitches through 4 innings - 1 hit, 1 run, 1 hbp, 3 bb, 8 k. we saw a lot of that last year.

 

There's never been a pitcher who was so good at missing bats that had such a hard time missing bats. He puts up some wacky lines, that's for sure.

 

Similar to Marmol, when he gets the ball over the plate watch out, but when he cant get the ball over the plate, watch out.

[Roast]

Nice start. Suck it, Heyward.

[Outshined_One]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

[David]

maybe heyward hasn't quite mastered hitting lefties yet

[UMFan83]

Heyward looked outmatched there. Too agressive

[TruffleShuffle]

heyward can't hit lefties, SEND HIM DOWN

Harden walks in two runs. He has 5 BBs now.

Dempster had thrown 95 pitches according to Gameday

[Outshined_One]

Yeowsa.

[OleMissCub]

This Peachtree Network must have a mic right next to Bobby Cox. You can hear nearly everything he is saying very clearly

[Andy]

Sean Marshall is a bad, bad man.

[inari]

I'm really surprised that Lou is leaving Marshall in here.

i was just kidding, gameday was wrong about him getting out of the inning. he issued two more walks and was taken out. his final line was 3.2 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 5 BB, 8 K, 1 HBP, 90 pitches/52 strikes. that's one bad thing about harden, he's so tough to hit and his control is always marginal, so his pitch count is always going to be high and that leads to a taxed bullpen. that and he gets hurt all the time.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Marshall climb the bullpen ladder into a late inning setup role with continued success and Lilly coming back to the rotation.

I think he gets fouled off more than most pitchers. Does anyone keep that stat?

One more year like last (and it looks like it will be this year) he'll be a reliever.

 

How many years did Texas give him?

[UMFan83]

How many times are you going to see that pitch before you don't swing at it Riot?

[OleMissCub]

Smoltz has a very non-unique voice. I'm having a hard time distinguishing when he speaks and when he doesn't. Any of you other guys watching this Peachtree crap notice that?

1 plus an 11.5 million team option for another year.

In the way too early scoreboard watching department, STL is racking up runs in the 7th in Cincy. David Freese has 2 RBI singles.

[Outshined_One]

You definitely didn't catch it that time, sparky.

[Drew Doughty]

hey they got it right, almost like they're major league umpires or something

[David]

mclouth trying to pull another fast one
