  1. Its amazing how Eyre has 30 scoreless innings and I still don't trust him in this situation.
  2. Seriously, every time Lou tries to give the bullpen a rest, the rest of the pitchers mess it up. Unbelievable.
  3. Lou will never consider taking out Marmol in a 3 run game ever again. It's not certain that Marmol will hit 100 IP this year or die trying
  4. WHY WASNT MARMOL IN?!?!?!?! HES OUR ONLY GOOD RELIEVER!!
  5. This is why Lou forces himself to throw Marmol every decently close game. Not saying its the right decision necessarily but still.
  6. It would take 3-4 more runs for Marmol to not come in. Looks like Milwaukee will lose. Astros up 6-1
  7. would you prefer to stick with a pitcher who is falling behind 2-0 on every hitter? it's a high leverage situation, exactly where you're supposed to use your best relief pitcher. The Cubs are a good team who are going to win a lot of games. There's going to be a *lot* of high-leverage situations between now and the end of the year. If we don't let the starters pitch through them occasionally, we'll end up with Marmol on pace for 85 appearances before the playoffs even start. Oh wait, that's what we have. I partially agree with you about having Marmol in every high leverage situation, but if you haven't noticed, we aren't exactly running away with a playoff spot.
  8. If Lou didn't put Marmol in a bunch of 4-5 run games earlier this year for multiple innings we wouldn't be in this mess nearly as much.
  9. but that doesn't explain the bad calls on DeRosa, Theriot, Soto....and so forth. an Italian guy killed eddings' great uncle in wwii a scrappy guy killed eddings' great great great grandad in the civil war a puerto rican guy killed eddings' great great grandad in the Spanish American war.
  10. What are DeRo's numbers with RISP? Or are we not doing that joke anymore?
  11. Blah, at least we are back into the game. Not that we were exactly out of it before this inning.
  12. No see, the crowd knew right away the ball would travel the adequate distance for which to ensure a sacrifice fly.
  13. And Harang. They do get Bailey, Cueto and Arroyo though!
  14. Wakefield Does he at least have the knuckler to counter?
  15. Reed Johnson. Felix Pie. ?? I was saying Reed Johnson was the CF on that last play, not Edmonds.
