Lets' not take anything away from Cook, facing a hot team like the Cubs, and his handling them very nicely, he's having a good performance. And Marquis is matching him pitch for pitch. So, something tells me this game will go to the bottom of the ninth. I really don't get it. Since when has "giving up hard hit fly balls that hitters have barely gotten under" been the same as "matching him pitch for pitch" Fine, if oyu want to play technicality, Marquis was matching Cook, OUT FOR OUT. Is that better? What i was trying to say is that marquis wasn't doing anything besides getting lucky. Something tells me this is reserved for the whipping boy. If Z or Hill pitched the same way, no one would be saying anything (of course he's a crap-ton better, but the point is still the same). Luck is only thrown out there when the NSBB anointed whipping boys do well. BS. Marquis is a sinkerball pitcher who was keeping the ball up all day. There were plenty of hard hit balls, many of which just missed going out. I don't care who does that -it's not a good outing.
