2006 WHIP Zambrano: 1.29 Marshall: 1.52 Career WHIP Zambrano: 1.28 Marshall: 1.44 Marshall still holds the edge for 2007 based on a few nice starts, but that margin is closing fast and will probably disappear within the next 2 starts Still, Z led the league in walks. Doesn't say much for him and those whip is mostly hits for Marshall and walks for Z. Z's control doesn't look to improve but Marshall's "stuff" does. And even if Zambrano doesn't improve his control, he's still a better pitcher than Marshall. Even with Zambrano's control issues, he's still had those awesome seasons. Even with what you call great control by Marshall, his best would be the worst full season Zambrano has seen in 5 years! And when Marshall has those 5 years of experience we'll see whose better. All we're doing now is debating without fair statistical comparison. But in a lot of ways we are. We can compare each player to the other at the same age. When Zambrano was Marshall's age, he was dominating major league hitters. I'm trying to take you seriously, but it's laughable to think Marshall is now or ever will reach the level of pitching that Zambrano has achieved. I'm not asking you to agree with me i'm just giving my opinion, and on paper Marshall deserves all star more than Z. Well, Zambrano may not have deserved the ASG. That's debateable. But Marshall's 8 starts of 3.50 ERA doesn't make him all-star worthy in any shape or form...and in now way makes him a better pitcher now, in the past, or in the future than Zambrano. If you were using hyperbole to state your love for Marshall, you should have dropped the inane arguments a long time ago. Because if you think Marshall really is better than Zambrano, I'm having trouble wondering if this is the first year you've actually followed baseball. No, it's not. Then you should observe things a little more closely. Marshall is in no way the pitcher Zambrano is. or you could stop getting so worried about my knowledge and worry about yours Or I could just laugh at the fact that someone thinks Marshall is better than Zambrano. go ahead laughter is good for you, maybe it'll make you smarter I think the intelligence factor in this argument is self-evident. This quote thing is getting long. Really.http://www.w3bdevil.com/forums/O_RLY-Ya-Rly.jpg

I was at the Red Sox/White Sox game last year that went into 18 innings. (I had seats behind home plate so I said why not) Greatest game ever. I love extra innings especially when the Cubs are not involved in it.

Is Derrek ever going to get suspended? I would like him to serve his time now in Washington and Pittsburgh.

What do you know an ex-cub doing well for our rival. 7 RBI's including a grand slam tonight. God kill me now.

Brewers 10 Pirates 3

Everytime he falls down I think earthquake

No-Hitter No-More

Pirates/Brew Crew tied at 3

I win a TV!

Marshall has been in the majors for about a year-4/5 of a season last year, and 1/5 of a season this year. Only the 1/5 of the season this year has been good-I'm not sure how you can call him consistent yet. Z is the only pitcher in the major leagues to be in the top 15 of ERA every year for the last 4-how much more consistent can you get than that? With the way he's pitching lately, he could make it 5 in a row. i didn't say marshall was consistent i said he's more consistent than z And like I said, Z has been one of the most consistent pitchers in the major leagues the last 4 years. He gives you almost the same production every single year. except this one i suppose This year is only half over, and the way Z is pitching it seems likely that it will end up being a very similar year to his previous 4. Just thought I would continue this quote.

I was at the game behind home plate and his swing looked good. I don't know how players don't hit Dave Bush harder because he has the worst windup in the majors. He starts and stops and throws.

I hadn't seen that. Hopefully this is the case but I also recall hearing there was no way the Cubs could add someone like Griffey so I suppose we'll habe to wait and see. I'm not optimistic that the Cubs will make a trade for any elite players, but that would be more of our ability to pay the cost in players in the trade, rather than our ability to pay for the player. I sure hope you aren't being sarcastic

Dunn will swing and miss and strikeout at the 40 mph pitches.

Bonds isn't going to be in it. He doesn't want to hurt himself.

Please don't suck Cubs.

Since when does 15 or so homers get you in the derby?

I say yes. He is the hottest pitcher in the majors and deserves a spot. Plus it gives the Cubs more Major League attention.

It is a race between Z and Webb in my opinion. I think the Cub fans tower over the D'back fans and Z will go in but still vote for him as much as possible.
