5/4 Reds (Cingrani) @ Cubs (Samardzija!) 12:05 pm CSN

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 2-5 (.286) when they allow 5 or more walks.... 9-13 (.409) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

Marmol walks the first hitter on four pitches. I'm shocked.

[coldsteel]

Walk the pathetic Cozart on 4 pitches? Ridiculous

[mookie]

I hope we lock Rizzo up this season.

[illiniguy]

Build that trade value.

[Tryptamine]

Is there really any reason not to just DFA Marmol? He's not going to bounce back and get us anything. He's really nothing but a minus at this point.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-4 (.000) when they allow 6 or more walks.... 11-14 (.440) when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

This.

 

The only counterargument is that you might as well run him out there and pray he figures it out because the other options suck, but I don't see it happening.

 

Also, Castillo is pathetic back there.

[illiniguy]

Hey somebody woke Dale up.

[Guest]

I seriously can't take watching Marmol anymore.

 

I know it's stupid but I wish they'd just cut him or something so that I never have to see him again.

[Guest]

LOL

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-10 (.231) when they hit an opposing batter.... 8-8 (.500) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Tryptamine]

Two walks and a HBP. I don't understand how Marmol can't be completely and utterly embarrassed. It's one thing if you're getting hit hard, but a pitcher who can't even throw the ball over the plate is absolutely pathetic.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Thanks for playing, Carlos. You clown.

 

3 batters faced, 2 walks and 1 HBP, no outs.

[Guest]

Jay Bruce grand slam incoming.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I don't know if it's funnier that we're using our Rule 5 pick in an extremely high-leverage situation, or that he's a reasonable choice given our pen.

[coldsteel]

Let's see some of that Cub Way now and get some outs

[Schwarber Fan]

CMON UMP

 

jesus!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jay Bruce grand slam incoming.

 

I see your glass is half empty, eh? :wink:

[Tryptamine]

This umpire absolutely sucks.

[Schwarber Fan]

oh shocking... a bloop hit

 

that never happens

How is Fields doing?

[Guest]

oh shocking... a bloop hit

ONLY THE CUBS

[InconspicuousZ28]

And whaddya know.....both of those walks come in to score and tie the game.

[UMFan83]

And Marmol steals another win for my fantasy team
