Marquis was bypassed in the rotation on Friday because of a strep throat. His only 2008 appearance was last Saturday, when he pitched 5 1/3 very bumpy innings against the Astros (8 hits, a walk and 4 ER). He's 4-3, 4.64 lifetime against the Phils and beat them last year in his only start against Philly since joining the Cubs.

Moyer pitched for Lou Piniella's Seattle teams and went 98-48 between 1996 and 2002. He actually had two stints with the Cubs. After they released him in the spring of '92, the Cubs were kind enough to offer him a coaching job within the organization.

He has gone on to win 197 Major League games since then.

The story Saturday night was Ted Lilly's continued terribleness and the ineptitude of the Cub offense, which, since the first inning Friday night, has accounted for just two runs and seven hits in 17 innings. It's true that the Cubs have gone up against two very good pitchers, but the Cubs also were throwing their supposed #1 and #2 guys, and the Phillies--even without NL MVP Jimmy Rollins--have had no trouble putting runs on the board.

If the Cubs can bag this win, they will end their Pennsylvania road trip 4-2, and if it's all the same to you, I am going to pretend they took two of three from both the bad Pirates and the good Phillies.

I mean I doubt he will be a solid hitter in the bigs, but we will never know if we dont play him. I wonder when the Cubs will sign K-loft? My guess is on 4/27.

I'm all for playing him. I'll say it again. But, if I'm going to play him, I'm only playing him against right-handed pitching. That isn't today. His career OPS against left is .269 in a small-ish sample.

Glad to see those four at bats (and missed played fly ball into a double) help Ward with his pitch hit at bat. K on ball four The good news is he didn't ground out to the right side of the infield for the 5th time in a row.

"Glad to see those four at bats (and missed played fly ball into a double) help Ward with his pitch hit at bat. K on ball four The good news is he didn't ground out to the right side of the infield for the 5th time in a row." I'm trying to understand why I find a comment like the above so irritating. I think it's for a couple of reasons. First, I strongly suspect that if Ward had come through with a hit, we wouldn't have heard a peep out of Mr. Shot about how Ward's playing time on Friday may have helped him hit today. Which would be both cowardly and dishonest. Second, using a single instance (the ultimate small sample size) and hindsight to condemn a manager's arguably reasonable decision at the time it was made reminds me of the kind of opportunistic arguing that my 13 year old often does. It's not done to bring out a valid point worthy of consideration by others. It's only done for the sake of claiming that you "won" the argument. Of course, it may be possible that Mr. Shot would have graciously offered his congratulations to LouPa for his excellent foresight if Ward had come up with a base hit in the 8th inning today. I'm just not going to be holding my breath.

Nice grab by Lee Wild inning by Woody.

So a construction worker, Red Sox fan working on the new Yankee's stadium attempts to curse the new stadium by burying a Red Sox jersey underneath it, and the construction crew goes back with jackhammers and digs it up? Are you f*ing serious? This looking fucking ridiculous to someone like me who isn't one single bit superstitious.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...

    wow.  what a blown call.  go cubs, i guess.
