  2. Pina? Wow, he was at AZ last year.
  3. While Lee is swinging pretty hard tonight, that was a nice AB. The ump's not doing anyone any favors, either.
  4. It's like watching the Nega-Cubs. Did Bob just say "Drop Anchor"?
  5. Somebody must have gotten a copy of BP at WGN. ;) Nice AB from Walker.
  6. Wow, I thought he was toast. But the ump had a great look.
  7. It would explain a lot, wouldn't it? Nice recovery that inning.
  8. Following his simulated innings, Kerry Wood was handed his 3rd Consecutive Simulated Cy Young, bringing his total up to 5.
  9. Nice effort by Cedeno on that play. Maybe they give scouts etch-a-sketches...
  10. Something tells me the Cubs' scouting reports are written in crayon, based on the way Dusty approaches opposing hitters and pitchers...
  11. I understand the risks involved with putting a guy with limited experience above AA into a big league rotation. Trust me, I've been following this guy long enough to tell you that while he has a world of potential, he still needs to do some important things such as build up endurance and face more advanced hitters. However, at the moment, the alternatives are not looking all that great. We've seen the results of Spring Training games, yes, but there are also workouts and drills. The coaching staff has been monitoring Guzman, Williams, Hill, and Marshall a great deal. They know their jobs are on the line and aren't going to take any stupid risks. Right now, Marshall has performed better than any of those guys. He wasn't handed the #4 slot blindly. If they think he's the best option, then I think there's something to be said for giving them the benefit of the doubt in a rough situation like this.
  12. Yes! 1 appearance will determine it! I'm going to love rubbing the obvious in your faces when he fails. The prospect love puts blinders on a lot of you. You're not cheering for Marshall to fail, are you?
  13. Two straight fastballs over the heart of the plate. Did he throw his straight change in that inning at all? Nope, his two seamers and curve seemed to be the ones used. There's no radar gun, though, so it was a bit hard to tell on some pitches.
  14. Yes! 1 appearance will determine it! He's definitely a better option than the alternatives at this point.
  15. I thought it was going foul. 3 Run HR by Castilla. Yuck.
  16. Marshall's main problem is similar to Wood's, where he tends to go in and out of focus every now and again. Thankfully his delivery is consistent...
  17. The closeup of Roberts after the swing was priceless.
  18. Marshall's curve made Roberts look like a fool. Wow.
