[rickrolled]

Well, let's try to do it again tomorrow. Murton better be playing again.

[E.J.]

I don't see these last 2 games being played with the hurricane coming. At least we'll go into the All-Star break on a good note and D Lee will get some more time to rest that shoulder if the last 2 games are rained out.

It doesnt look like they have Batter v. Pitcher.. do they??

[Illini Iceman]

I don't see these last 2 games being played with the hurricane coming. At least we'll go into the All-Star break on a good note and D Lee will get some more time to rest that shoulder if the last 2 games are rained out.

 

Maybe tomorrow's game is in jeopardy, but by Sunday it will be battering the panhandle and there will be blue skies in Miami. Let's play two!!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Go CUBS !!

CUBS score 4.42 R/G overall.... 3.57 R/G when Zambrano pitches

CUBS hit 1.26 HR/G overall.... 1.29 HR/G when Zambrano pitches

 

Is Dusty that stupid to pitch a starter the day after his 7 inning start :lol: ?

No.... but somebody is stupid enough not to update all the text with the right pitcher's name !!

 

Good help is so hard to find !!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I see you too have made it back from Atlanta, Fred.

[Laura]

Hey, wadduya know. Rookies can do stuff.

 

But, the negativity works. So, Cubs still suck.

 

Maybe next time the tv info could at least happen.

[mhuber92211]

So Fred or anyone else, Where can one find good comparison stats? I am looking for Rusch's stats as a starter vs reliever. Thanks!

[Chris]

2 game winning streak, book it!

The current Marlins are hitting .256 (30 for 117) Vs. Wood.

You could check out minorleaguebaseball.com...Murton has faced Olsen in AA this season.

 

I think I have this right - Murton is 1 for 4 with a double against Olsen. Greenberg didn't start either game against Olsen.

[E.J.]

There's a 100% chance of rain (up to 2 inches) in Miami today. There's an 80% chance of rain tommorow (up to 1 inch).

 

I really doubt they get either of these games in.

The middle line (07 May through 23 June) covers Rusch's starts. The other 2 lines are his relief appearances, before and since.

So basically Rusch is awesome wherever he pitches, the last three innings notwithstanding (although with way too many walks in an admittedly small sample on the relief side).

[mhuber92211]

Er, I would disagree that Rusch is "awesome". That 1.83 WHIP doesn't look very good in april.

 

But besides that, THANK YOU Fred. You are a gentleman and a scholar!

[JGalt73]

The Cubs and Marlins only share one off day the rest of the year - September 19th. Cubs would be between a StL homestand and a Brewers road series. The Marlins come to Wrigley again in August, but I'm not sure they're up for yet another road "home" game or two.

Awwww.... you're just saying that 'cause it's true. :wink:

 

You are most certainly welcome !

And the starting pitchers. Some of us DO care. Nothing personal roast, but if you're not going to put the necessary info in the game thread, then let someone else start it.
