04/08 Cubs (Wells) vs. Braves (Hanson) 6:10 CT MLBN/CSN

[Little Slide Rooter]

Jesus, Lou, the bases are empty with 2 out! Why does Lou act like Marshall can't pitch to right handers when he used to start games?

 

Ideally Lou would treat Marshall like Grabow and vice versa.

Seriously. I hate the way this organization uses Marshall

 

It's not so much the organization as it is Lou Pinealla.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

GET SOME RUNS!!

[CubbieBum]

If anybody cares, Bulls are up 60-56 on the Cavs at halftime.

 

Nope.

Yes.

Nope.

 

I dont think the Bulls even care. They're focused on the offseason.

He's looked pretty lockdown in relief. I'd probably rather see him as a starter, but if he can be a very good setup man, he'd still provide a lot of value strengthening a potentially weak pen.

[Hall7810]

Goody, Grabow warming.

That's fine - just not as a LOOGY.

Normally Id say good job, but Bron isn't playing so they should be up considering its meaningless for Bron's (good) supporting cast and do or die for the Bulls.

Dang

[Andy]

For some reason, Ron didn't remember/notice that Fukudome flied to center to lead off the inning, and when he asked whether the flyout was hard-hit, Pat replied without missing a beat that "it was one of the most dramatic fly balls in the history of organized baseball".

 

I love Pat.

[UMFan83]

Ramirez walked on a pitch that was more a strike than that pitch earlier in the game.

[Little Slide Rooter]

And here comes Grabow to ruin my night.

[UMFan83]

And here comes Grabow to ruin my night.

 

Same part of the lineup too.

 

I'm guessing since Marmol hasn't been used since Saturday, that if Grabow gets in trouble, Marmol can come in for a 4+ out save.

He didn't miss a beat because he says that every single time Ron misses a play. That said, I still laugh.

Haha, he overuses that phrase so much. LOL @ Ron asking about previous plays on air though.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Why am I nervous about Marmol only having a 2 run lead after not pitching in almost a week?

Ron gets pretty unbearable, but without Pat's dry wit and great comedic timing, there is no way Ron in the booth would work out.

[JonJayCutler]

Thank you Lou. I feel much better with Caridad out there.

[chuckywang]

And so it begins.

Pat Hughes is so good at what he does that he could probably do a Vin Scully and commentate without a color man, but giving him a foil like Ron makes him even better.

[thefranchise]

Hopefully Infante GIDP because I have a feeling Grabow will face McCann

[Andy]

This has a McCann dinger written all over it.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Ive got a baaad feeling about this.

[CUBZ99]

Cashner with 9Ks through 3.1 innings. :shock:
