Re: 04/16 Houston (Paulino) @ CUBS (Silva) 1:20 CDT, CSN

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Feliz is the best player on our team today.

[Careless]

Keppinger's slide stopped 6 feet in front of second

[nick23]

Ugh, why Grabow? This is exactly the type of situation that they should be using to give the younger guys some work. YOU SUCK SO MUCH ASS, LOU.

 

because Grabow was up before the rally started

 

So sit his ass back down and get someone else up to get some work.

There were two outs. Might not have been enough time to get someone warm. Plust shut them down in the 8th then bring in a rookie for the 9th.

[JonJayCutler]

Berg/Gray/Russell for the 9th please.

[Cubswin11]

Berg/Gray/Russell for the 9th please.

Hopefully it's Gray, would be nice for him to get work in a low(er) stress situation.

[BigSlick]

Berg/Gray/Russell for the 9th please.

Its gonna be Marmol because Lou is stupid

[nick23]

Marmol warming up. Wow.

[Cubswin11]

Marmol throwing in pen, per Pat

[Old Style]

Marmol warming up. Wow.

WHAT?!

 

:banghead:

[Sammy Sofa]

Marmol.

 

Unbelievable.

 

[expletive] off, Lou.

[Sever82]

How many days has it been since Marmol Pitched? I mean I guess he needs to get some work done....?

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah no way that the other pitchers could close out a 5 run game against the bottom half of a terrible lineup with the wind blowing in.

he pitched Weds. didn't he?

against the astros too.

[Flames24Rulz]

It figures that Marmol's going to pitch the 9th. I'm sick and tired of Lou's bullpen stupidity.

[nick23]

It just makes no sense. We might actually need him Saturday and Sunday.

[Flames24Rulz]

he pitched Weds. didn't he?

 

Yes. He struck out the side to earn the save.

[TruffleShuffle]

Marmol.

 

Unbelievable.

 

[expletive] off, Lou.

 

sometimes i feel like lou makes up his mind and then just won't change it. like when the cubs took the lead in the 7th, he said to himself "great, get through the 8th and then it's marmol time"... the fact that the cubs tacked on several more runs doesn't matter to him.

[Sammy Sofa]

I'd kill for someone to call Lou out over this in the post game press conference.

[BigSlick]

Wow, I kick ass, I was just kidding with the Marmol joke and I can't even watch the game but yep

 

Lou is a parody of himself

[CubbieBum]

I'm beginning to think the Cubs have learned Marmol is best when he pitches every two days. He has pitched every two days without fail so far and has been lights out.

[Sammy Sofa]

Marmol.

 

Unbelievable.

 

[expletive] off, Lou.

Or he just completely forgot about the bullpen.

[Ihatepujols]

I have a question...Is Tyler Colvin a gritty player?

[jersey cubs fan]

If this was game 3 against against MIL I could understand, kind of. But this is the first game of this series, and you are giving Houston a free opportunity to see Marmol in a meaningless situation, when you might need him in a real situation the next 2 days.

[Careless]

It really is Marmol standing on the mound. WTH
