I'm guessing Lou hopes to get three innings out of him. -
Unless he's planning on extending Harden in the 2nd due to his extra rest and the fact that his last start was "only" 93 pitches.
-
5th best ERA in the NL. He might be right, but I don't think he was underselling. What I hated was Chip saying, "This is what you wonder about the Chicago Cubs. What do you think about the bullpen?" That insinuated the bullpen is a huge problem and has been their achilles heal. It's not a great bullpen, but it's pretty darn good.
-
Lou playing the "win the one you know you can win" strategy here. I'd rather keep Marquis in for the bottom of the order.
-
I said that earlier.How can that kid not run out of air or be tired shouting every 25 seconds. He really needs to get kicked in the head I believe it's a girl.
-
peachtree is doing a whole bunch of skip caray stuff, showing some of his flubs and whatnot, and now they are doing some Harry Caray ones.
-
he's sucked, but Kosuke has had some decent PAs today, and his first and third outs were fairly hard hit balls.
-
I'm listening to the Braves' broadcast on XM, and I keep hearing some little kid in the background constantly yelling "Come on, Cubbies!" in a very annoying high-pitched voice. I'm happy there's a young Cubs fan there that's enthusiastic about the game, but I'd hate to be sitting next to him. I'm watching peachtree tv and you can hear that girl too. The tv guys have been making fun of her. FYI, yes, the radio guys voices keep showing up on the tv broadcast, and it happens whenever they show the radio guys on the screen.
-
Is a 6 run lead big enough with Marquis pitching? You never know, but the offense should still be able to scratch across another run or three even if Marquis gets sloppy.
-
Who would sit Edmonds the rest of this game to keep him rested for tonight? I would strongly consider it.
-
If he got tossed for arguing the timing of Joe West ordering the lights turned on, it sounds like he has a legitimate case here. From the way it was described on the radio, it sounds like the pitcher had just finished up his warm-up tosses and was ready to go when the ump came out and ordered the lights to be turned on. He should have had them turned on immediately after the previous inning ended. Except for the fact that Atlanta screwed with Marquis the inning before. It was makeup call more or less.
-
It was fun 5 years ago with a cubs hat in your hand
-
He can say it, but he can't really follow through with the threat. They need to push Marquis as far as they can today.
-
I need peachtree tv to focus in on the fine peaches behind home plate
-
Looked to me like Marshall was warming in the pen. I would have thought he'd be saved for tonight. Whatever happens, I just hope Lou doesn't try and push Harden to make up for potential bullpen overusage.
-
internet tv says otherwise. He's missing by very wide margins.
-
not a chance. Theriot with an f-bomb after striking out. You can hear every conversation in the stadium right now - unfortunately that includes the horrible Atlanta announcers.
-
Six innings from the 'pen on 8/13?
jersey cubs fan replied to twothousandfive's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
No reason why not, but who knows if they would. Hopefully this is a game Marquis comes up big. He can occasionally go 8 strong and surprise people. -
If you are sitting in the bleachers, the price of beer isn't an issue. Yea, I know. The two statements are independent of each other. It's actually good they don't serve beer in the bleachers because the fans are crazy enough without it. I think it's pretty stupid. It encourages getting wasted before showing up and bringing in hard liquor. I've been out there when beer was available, and it wasn't that bad. You wouldn't bring your 12-year old daughter, but it hasn't gotten any better since banning beer.

Kick back and live the life off the millions you make in endorsements. well, there's that, but he's obviously going pro after this showing, right? Or take advantage of the 45 condoms each Olympian is averaging this year. he's the male equivalent of Oprah -- someone somebody would only hook up with just to say they did. he's one ugly bastard Except he's a world class athlete and not a tub of lard.
-
It would be ridiculous to think otherwise. You don't need to be smart to be good at playing. Nor do you need to be smart to look/sound good on tv/radio. There are just far too many examples of not only broadcasters possibly dumbing things down, but actually going on and on, passionately, in support of their precious conventional wisdom. It is seriously nonsensical to think they all know the facts but just pretend to be dumb so casual fans will stay tuned.

The Angel Guzman Rehab Thread
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
That would not make him a wasted asset. It could be an inneficient usage of an asset, but he'd still be an asset and provide value. I would like to see something like Marshall/Guzman being the "5th starter". But instead of going on 3 days rest, I think it could be more valuable to actually have the one of those guys who is going shorter, be available out of the bullpen for somebody else. In other words, if Zambrano and Dempster are pitching before and after the day Marzman pitches, then one of those pitchers is going to be available to pitch on the days Harden or Lilly throws. -
The Angel Guzman Rehab Thread
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm all for the concept of co-starters piggybacking in starts. But I'm not even sure Guzman can go 5 innings every 5 games. How about three every three? I just don't see him throwing 162 innings a season. -

You're comparing team wins with pitching wins. One matters, one doesn't. The W-L record for a pitcher (bad stat) by itself does nothing to indicate how likely a team is to win or lose (very important stat) when he takes the mound for them. When Harden and his 1-1 record take the mound tonight, I think he gives the Cubs better than a 50-50 shot of winning. Welcome to the forum. No I am not confusing the two. I am simply saying that the statement " won/loss records don't matter " is the most incorrect statement you can possibly make regarding baseball, I don't care how you are looking at it. And I see it a lot. How many games you WIN is the most important stat in baseball.Period. To say wins don't matter is silly. Are they the best way to judge certain things ? Of course not. Do they matter ? Of course they do. But I really do not need to tell most of you this. Thanks all for the welcome. Well that's a blatantly absurd claim.
