4/11 Cubs (Dempster) @ Astros (Figueroa) 7:05 pm CSN+

Quade needs to find his groove like everybody else. Hopefully it doesn't take too long. That's not supposed to be something to be concerned with over the course of the season.

[Yeti]

he's gonna throw like 60 pitches to get 4 outs and be gassed for the rest of the series

 

That's ok. JeffH said we have no chance to win either game because of pitching matchups so we won't need Marmol anyway.

oh yeah, forgot about that, better get the W now!

[Sammys Boombox]

I'm so glad we saved the arms of Mateo, Stevens, etc. so Marmol could face 4 batters tonight.

And Quade will probably go to Shark first tomorrow just to [expletive] things up even more.

pretty sure mateo went an inning + last night

[Little Slide Rooter]

Make it quick Marmol, and I dont mean a walk to Pence and a home run to Lee.

[Careless]

That was a nice 4 pitch sequence

JeffH says a lot of things. once in a while they're not wrong.

[Guest]

Finish this thing off, Carlos.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Come on Carlos, youve already gotten past the decentish hitters.

[Irrelevant Dude]

With tomorrow being essentially a forfeit, please don't blow this game...

[Careless]

Nice job, Marmol

[Little Slide Rooter]

A wins a win regardless of its effect on your blood pressure.

[Omar]

Last pitch was a ball. But at least they won.

[sneakypower]

*sigh*

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Happy Cubs Game!!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Marmol and Soto just gave each other the manliest hug of all time.

Not all wins are equal when you cause unnecessary stress on the back of your bullpen due to poor managerial decisions. Those things will catch up to a team over the course of a season.

Did I miss the part where Wandy Rodriguez and Brett Myers became Tim Lincecum and Matt Caine? I know Wandys good at home, but I have no fear of Brett Myers. Besides, dont we have Z against Wandy?

I believe left handers get screwed on that corner all the time. Go take a look at pitchf/x by right/left hand strikes called. Umpires are consistent on 3 of the 4 sides, with lefties getting screwed on one all the time

victory grabbed from the jaws of stupidity.

[BCVM22]

Well I damn near just expired.

[TruffleShuffle]

With tomorrow being essentially a forfeit, please don't blow this game...

 

it's the astros, they're terrible and don't have a legitimate #1 starter. no game against them is "essentially a forfeit."

Yes, I agree; JeffH is always wrong.

[Guancous]

Who was worried?

 

Some questionable decisions couldn't overcome Houston's absolute lack of talent.
