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. -
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?

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.
-
Yes! 1 appearance will determine it! He's definitely a better option than the alternatives at this point.

Barrett's gamecalling really needs work.
-
I thought it was going foul. 3 Run HR by Castilla. Yuck.
-
Well, that sucked.
-
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...
-
The closeup of Roberts after the swing was priceless.
-
Marshall's curve made Roberts look like a fool. Wow.
-
Lee took two hard swings in that AB.
-
Wait, Estes is the #2 for San Diego? Wow, and I thought our pitching was badly off...
-
That was a dumb decision. Bunting over a 6'10 pitcher doesn't typically work.

Wind howling out, short fences in LF and RF. Should be a fun night. Pierre Walker Lee Rammy Jones Barrett Murton Cedeno Marshall

Do you think Len got carded at the blackjack tables?

Anyone got lineups?

Thanks for the update! If you happen to know Gallagher or some one who knows him well, wish him luck for us! :D

Go Marshall!

Their AA team last season was deeper than a number of systems in baseball. -
Is it me, or does that picture make it look like Julian is doing the Ride the Pony?
-
He already was added to the 40 man to avoid the Rule V Draft, as I recall.

Just heard on CNN, Cubs may be up for sale

There's always that danger. Hendry has managed to assemble a team that doesn't flat-out suck, at the least. Granted, this franchise is still inept in certain areas, but an 80 win season is preferable to a 70 win one, ya know? -
If there is one player who said ask for a trade, it should be Church. I could see Bowden trading Church to the Cards for Marquis, or some other Cards scrub. Shhhhhhhhhh! Don't give him any ideas...

Zambrano on his way to hitting for the cycle. ;)
