Dolis is still reallllllllllly raw

 

Marmol-Lite, minus the slider.

Dolis' fastball is waaaayyyyy better than Marmol's.

[Epsteenie]

Thank you Skip. Thank you so much for swinging.

You know, for as much as Camp makes me nervous, he's the only reliever with a BB/9 below 6(SIX!) on the team.

I'm starting to doubt 2 things. 1) The Cubs will have any player hit 20 or more HR and 2) They will hit 70 or more HR as a team. It's like we're looking at the 87 Cardinals minus Jack Clark.

 

It's the cold weather. The Cubs will absolutely hit more than 70 HRs.

 

Cubs have hit 5HR, the Yankees have hit 28. Even the Pirates who have only scored 30 runs this year have 7. I'm not saying they wont, I'm saying I'm having doubts.

 

Are you really going to make me look to see how long it's been since a team has hit less than 70 HRs in a season?

Not sure how I feel about struggling Marmol trying to get 4 outs.

No CUBS team since 1960 except in a strike shortened season.

5 teams since the strike have hit less than 100, all of them hit at least 90.

In two games as a Red Sock, Marlon Byrd is 3 for 8. :twisted:

And the Cubs even managed to do it in one of the strike shortened seasons(113 games), plus the abbreviated '95.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'd definitely take the over on 100 for the season at even odds.

[BleacherBadger]

[expletive]

[Schwarber Fan]

[Hairyducked Idiot]

@#$#@#@$

 

just setting it up for some 9th inning Stewart heroics.

[bcl412]

Poo

[SouthSideRyan]

Somebody punch that [expletive] [expletive] in the scarf clapping in the bleachers in the [expletive] neck.

[El Duderino]

god, could you throw a slider any worse

[Epsteenie]

Predictable but upsetting.

[BeerHere]

Marmol ruined a great start by Samardzija

[haubrich91]

****ing piece of ****.

 

Sorry, Shark.

[SouthSideRyan]

Go [expletive] yourself you miserable piece of [expletive]

[Hairyducked Idiot]

[rackum frackum]

[bcl412]

The wind will start blowing in the 9th and knock a Cubs potential home run ball down.

[Schwarber Fan]

Terrible clutch hitting allowed Marmol to ruin a great start by Samardzija
