That's also true. All three pitches came in a row and Marshall got a raw deal. -
So that was, what, 30 pitches for Marshall? I say the Cubs go down in 10 or less. Prove me wrong, dipsticks.

Watching the replay only highlighted how Kendall should have caught that. That's the height of subjectivity giving the error to Soriano.
-
Kendall really stinks.

Great. More foul balls. Awesome.

Why is it impossible to have any kind of discussion about Rich Hill?
-
Winning the series tomorrow and finishing an 8-2 homestand is just fine by me.

Exactly. It's nice he kept the runs to a minimum out there and went 6, but they were really working him throughout the counts for most of the game, something we've seen happen before. Again, I'm not trying to bash the guy just for the bashing the guy...there seems to be this underlying mood of any kind of critical reception of Hill's starts at this point are just hysterical and meaningless, but I really can't imagine that people are totally ignoring that it looks like he's often struggling in his starts now. Yes, it's nice he can keep it under control with the crappy teams, but I'm nervous if he has to start against winning teams. What do the rest of you think the reasons are that Rich seems to be having so much more trouble now? Obviously, some regression was to be expected, but should we expect this is going to be the type of pace he maintains from here on out? Is this the "real" Rich Hill? Again, please don't get super defensive and respond like I'm punching Hill and his mother...how many of you think Rich is just kind of "slumping" and how many think this is pretty much who we're gonna get from here on out (which isn't the end of the world, I know)?

Leadoff walk that took 11 pitches. Grand.
-
Jack!
-
THAT was a strike? Interesting.

Rich is battlin'!
-
He'd be fine without the errors. It's still taking him a lot of pitches to get guys out, even without the errors. Please come back, Good Rich. He has 50 pitches through three so he should still be able to go 6 innings (possibly more with a little better efficiency). True, and it's nowhere near being a disaster...I mean, it's only 1-0...I don't know, this still just feels like part of the slew of "difficult" starts for him. Probably just the contrast with how effortless he made it look before.

When I saw the Cubs play the Nats in DC last year, there was a mini-armada of Trixies trying to get Cedeno's attention while he was stretching and warming up on the field. This was the 2nd game of the series, so maybe his partying ways were paying off with the bat-chasers on the road, too.
-
It wasn't until recently that I really notcied how alike he and Manny are in so many ways when it comes to batting. As long as that power keeps running through the family, they can admire it all they want.

Matt Stairs Rumor

Nice cheap and effective lefty bench option. I'd love to see Hendry go for him. -
Man, I am really loving this team. It's nice to have "real" fun watching the Cubs again. If Hendry can just pull off a big impact trade, I'm this close to start really believing.
-
This team is full of beans.
-
Learn the winds, Jason.
-
Yeah, I know, the 'roids...but damn, that man can spot a pitch.
-
Sweet merciful crap, he absolutely destroyed that.
-
Something tells me we'll finally see Bonds start.

However you want to phrase it. Anyone still want to debate whether the picthers wanted Barrett to be traded? their performance says it doesn't matter. and if they wanted him gone just because they didn't like him then that's just as much their problem as barrett's. Look, I'm not saying it's the case, but is it really impossible that Barrett simply wasn't a good "fit," whatever that means, with this team at this point? Maybe his performance with the Padres is an example of the old hoary "change of scenery" cliche. Again, I'm not saying that this is at all definite, but you seem to respond to every idea that Barrett's time with this team had simply run its course as if they can't possibly be correct.

Granted, nitpicking spelling on the internet is futile, but ouch.
