It all depends if the team wants to go with 4 starters or not. If there's only 3, they won't put Marquis on as a reliever. If 4, he'll be the 4th guy. Remember also that the roster can change from round to round so if the Cubs want to use 4 starters in one round and then 3 the next, they always could bring Marquis for one series and leave him off of another. I was going to say the same thing. If Lou chooses to us a four man rotation, who do you start for Game 4 if it's not Marquis? Steve Traschel? Basically what the decision is going to come down to for Lou is who he thinks will be more effective in Game 4: Z on 3 days rest or Marquis/Traschel/?. Why does everyone forget about Sean Marshall? I would definitely choose him over Marquis or Trachsel. I would too but they aren't even throwing him down the stretch here but he's only pitched three times this month and only once since Sept 15. He's currently logged a whopping 6 innings this month in 2 relief appearances and one start. I would think that if the Cubs wanted him to pitch in the posteason as a starter they would have used him as such down the stretch here. That just means he's really rested and should be ready to go. :lol:
