    With that pitch count, he should be out there for the ninth. Have Demp warming up in case he gets into trouble but this is Marquis' game to finish.
  2. soccer10k
    So do we bring in Dempster for the ninth or let Marquis close it out?

    Are you kidding me? Getting airborne gets rid of any chance a sudden earthquake, volcanic eruption, or any sort of seismic event would throw off his balance and force him to miss the ball. Awesome.

    Anyone have a pitch count for Marquis coming into the inning?
  5. soccer10k
    Or a crushing 2-1 loss in 9.
  6. soccer10k
    Neifi. Ronny Cedeno?
  7. soccer10k
    Same question as last time: A) strikeout B) flyout C) 4-3 groundout
  8. soccer10k
    Christ, another warning track out.
  9. soccer10k
    Tobias.
  10. soccer10k
    You're officially on the hook for the blame if he doesn't do it.
  11. soccer10k
    So how is this Jacque AB going to go: A) strikeout B) weak flyout C) tries to pull an outside pitch and grounds out 4-3
  12. soccer10k
    Everybody is still recovering from last night. After all, that was nearly two games worth of posts.

    Does anybody know Murton's BABIP? It seems like he's been getting extremely unlucky lately though I could be wrong.
  14. soccer10k
    Hit and on base streak continues for Lee. Only another 41 to top DiMaggio and another 50 or so to catch Ted Williams.
  15. soccer10k
    Marquis has it going right now. He's looking good so far.
  16. soccer10k
    That was close.

    I've got it on MLB.TV but I have the sound turned down and won't be paying too much attention because I have two articles due in the next few hours. I'll also have the Warriors game on in about 30 minutes though that will be muted while I'm writing.

    Must they swing at the first pitch all the time? Jacque's showing the most patience this inning.
  19. soccer10k
    SORIANO!!!

    Hopefully this tennis match I'm covering doesn't last too long so I can be back to watch this game.
  21. soccer10k
    Well, the next week should be interesting. Both teams have seven games at NYM and PHI (the Cubs have 4 and 3 while the Brewers have 3 and 4, respecitively) do lets hope the NL East can bring them back to earth.

    I still can't figure out why Lou called that. Jones racks up plenty of strikeouts as it is and that was a pitch he couldn't do anything with. The best result he could have gotten with that pitch was a foul ball out of play; that's pretty much it. I'm concerned with Lou's style of managing. While I don't think he's as prone to stupid and head-scratching decisions as previous managers, I think he tries too hard to micromanage the game. Part of this might have to do with a lack of familiarity with his players' strengths and weaknesses, which is understandable, but if this trend continues, I won't be too happy with it. I could understand it with Lee batting because you can be fairly certain he's going to make contact if you need him to. But not Jacque.

    You've obviously forgotten who Ronny Cedeno is. Cedeno's had his fair share of games, but Jones played absolutely abysmal out there. Probably the worst "performance" we've had from a position player this season. Yes Jones was bad today but he can't touch a couple of Cedeno's performances. April 17 vs SD, 0-5, 2 K's April 22 vs STL, 0-5, 3 K's. Cedeno looks like he's never had a bat in his hands before when he's up at the plate. Yeah, those are both awful games. But a key DP in a big spot in the 8th and a huge error (at the time) in extras was pretty bad as well. Not to mention the failed H&R and you have an awful game. The hit and run is Lou's fault. There was no reason to make that call with Barrett running. The double play was just bad luck that he hit it right at the first baseman. If that ball gets through, you're singing a different tune right now. Or even if the first baseman makes an error on the play (whether fielding or throwing home) and Lee scores. Cedeno striking out and just looking lost at the plate doesn't even allow for that to happen. EDIT: And I'm sure Cedeno came up in big spots in both of those games - which the Cubs lost both of - and didn't come through either. Touche. How about this, all three games were horrendous and we leave it at that?
