    Because throwing 50 pitches in 2 innings isn't the same as throwing 50 over 3-4. If you are trying to stretch a guy out, you want him sitting down between innings, coming back out and still throwing. You want him warming up every inning and training his bodies for what actually happens in a 9 inning game rather than going out there and racking up a high pitch count early. He's a young high school draftee, there's nothing wrong with having him pitch 2 months in A ball. There's no reason to bump him based on 15 innings. how is letting him occasionally struggle against high A or AA hitters less training for "what actually happens in a 9 inning game" than having him set the side down in order in 10 pitches every inning? There will be time for that. For now, they want to stretch him out. I don't see what the problem is. Nitpicking over not promoting soon enough doesn't make any sense to me.

    Is this guy interesting at all? Looks like he's 5 for his last 6 with a walk after going 9 for 22 over 5 games in late April. .297/.375/.396 does have some positives, but the XBH just aren't there. And that matches up almost perfectly with his brief career stats at AZ and Boise. Looks like he's played a fair amount of both LF and CF and has hit leadoff, 2 and 9. He turns 21 this summer. edit: I asked this in early May and now I take a look at his numbers again and he's had a pathetic month. Maybe he's not interesting.

    If you read the article, You shouldn't do that with those things.
  4. jersey cubs fan
    so is he considering a change or did he announce he's making one and hasn't decided who yet?
  5. jersey cubs fan
    Or injuries, or trades. Both Garza and Dempster would have to go for 100 losses to be a possibility, imo. probably

    again, I apologize for only basing it on the 4.20 starters era, good for 12th in NL. (actually now it's 4.04 after today's game, good for 11th). huh...ERA, why not wins-losses? because ERA is a better measure

    They have? I only based it on ERA to date. I didn't realize they were bottom half of the league there, but I probably should have looked at more telling stats since I assumed they were better than that. Either way, the team is playing about as expected, can't hit, decent starting, crap bullpen. That's what was expected. So there's no reason to pretend they should be 15-10 or something.

    We could always bring him back as a FA in the offseason if we were to trade him this year An extension may be the one thing that convinces him to waive his rights.

    The Cubs are 9-16. Go ahead and give them this win plus another and they are 11-14 with 6 teams between them and the last playoff spot. they don't score runs some of the starters have been terrific for a good chunk of the time but overall they have been mediocre the bullpen sucks and was expected to suck Carlos Marmol isn't why this team isn't in the playoffs.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    They have the 12th most runs scored in the NL and the 13th OPS. No, they have not scored enough. They are a bad baseball team playing bad baseball.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    That's what is frustrating. I don't think this team is as bad as expected (in fact the starting pitching has been pretty good, especially lately) and if the bullpen didn't suck we'd be around .500. But it does suck, and we knew it would suck. They traded the best reliever and the rest was filled with questionable or worse pitchers. Plus, they are still bottom half of the league in starters' era and bottom half of the league in OPS and runs. This isn't a team that is being held back by a surprisingly bad bullpen.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    It's not even that. Without our bullpen, this team is in a [expletive] wildcard spot even as bad as its lineup is. Even a team that is supposed to suck, sucks for the wrong reasons and manages to infuriate all of us. Truly unreal. Not sure about wrong reasons. Coming into seasons everybody knew they would struggle to score runs, had pretty good starting pitching and no bullpen. That has all come to fruition aside from a few minor details.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Only if you win both. Soooooo, no, you can't.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Because he wasn't good last year? I'm not one of those down on Theo/Jed, but I thought Marmol was entering a downward spiral last year, but that his 2011 wasn't so bad he would be immovable over the offseason. He is now. Off the top of my head I'm pretty sure I thought he was immovable.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    I don't think what he does is nibbling. He just physically cannot throw strikes.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Considering the ridiculous kerfuffle when it happened last year, yes, lots of people would care.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    I would venture a guess at no, not his last shot.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    And you know nothing but trouble comes about when you let the balls think for you.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    By Dusty? No, he'd forgive that.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    The Reds walkoff games are the worst thing in baseball
  23. jersey cubs fan
    too late to switch him back to catcher?
  24. jersey cubs fan
    so he just doesn't throw fastballs anymore?
  25. jersey cubs fan
    walk would have been preferrable
