    It's just a ritual here. Every time Marmol pitches, everybody screams ZOMG HE IS BEING OVERUSED HIS ARM WILL FALL OFF ZOMG ZOMG. It's pretty amusing. (a) 95% of the complaining comes when lou needlessly uses marmol, as was the case in saturday's game (b) he's on pace to throw more innings than any reliever in baseball last season, so to laugh it off is awfully foolish. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-080510-carlos-marmol-chicago-cubs,1,4562380.story Does anyone know how he ranks among relievers in IP? I don't know how to look that up and sort just by relievers. to add on to that, is there a way of tallying # of pitches by reliever. I can only find that stat across baseball....

    I understand the over-doing of "shutting the door", but these were the D-backs, not the Pirates. Maybe Lou felt that after the 7th inning rally, he wanted to take ZERO chances and still keep Wood for tomorrow? Fox hasn't exactly looked other-worldy lately, and who else was available? Wuertz? the move wasn't ideal, but I certainly don't think it was completely stupid. One thing not to overlook is that the Cubs have a good chance to SWEEP the D-backs now. THATS an accomplishment.

    Friday: Cubs win with Lilly struggling prior to game Saturday: Cubs come from behind to win, bring Marmol in to shut the door. Cubs up 2-0. Sunday: Ace (big Z) on the mound against a 41 yr old pitcher. Good odds there. Cant say I blame Lou. He is rolling the dice abit, but its a good gamble.

    I don't think God cares about the Cubs. The last 100 years are proof. AHEM

    this is the reason am drinking right now oo and Marquis
  12. minnesotacubsfan
    he doesn't actually. He does, actually. http://www.baseball-reference.com/t/theriry01.shtml He's 7 for 13 on the season. You can't win this battle Truff. oh okay so in that case, are we also in agreement that rich hill and ted lilly are terrible pitchers and alfonso soriano is one of the worst hitters in baseball? He was horrible at stealing in the minors, too. he was 115 for 164, how is that horrible? its certainly not perfect, but i wouldnt call that horrible
  13. minnesotacubsfan
    great Morgan went to the K Derby. awesome
  14. minnesotacubsfan
    he doesn't actually. He does, actually. http://www.baseball-reference.com/t/theriry01.shtml I'm not Bill James, but that looks pretty good to me
  15. minnesotacubsfan
    I dont have a DVR, but was he really?
  16. minnesotacubsfan
    isnt there a slight delay even with Live performances?
  17. minnesotacubsfan
    Roberts isnt a great option to lead off either
  18. minnesotacubsfan
    i know, and usually LH hitters crush LHP it's weird how fuku's stats against LHP is so much worse than RHP. I'm really confused and/or don't get this joke. it's trading sarcasm for sarcasm. i've learned to just give imb back exactly what he gives. you're talking about 26 at bats there. he's going to struggle against LHP, that's a fact. Also, he almost hit a double, despite looking "uncomfortable" or whatever. yea becuase his Japanese splits say EXACTLY that Pitcher Batting BA PA AB H 2B 3B HR RBI K BB HBP SH SF DP Right Left .303 205 152 46 16 0 5 26 34 47 3 0 3 3 Left Left .282 143 117 33 6 0 8 22 32 22 3 0 1 2

    calapy (sp?) music perfect
  21. minnesotacubsfan
    see, fonty stabbing pujols foot was all part of the deal, slowed him down there
  22. minnesotacubsfan
    ahahahaa pujols Sox
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    All of which are 19 innings worth of stats, which is to say they are pretty much meaningless in terms of projecting him from here on out. Hill has always struggled with walks
  24. minnesotacubsfan
    f-u horse jockey
  25. minnesotacubsfan
    i dont blame him, it was all aggression on the swing ahahahah pujols hurt good
