Game 158 Thread / Cubs @ Marlins (2 of 3)

Game Chat : BR Preview : Game Notes Jason Marquis vs. Daniel Barone Lineups:
Soriano LF Ramirez SS
Theriot SS Uggla 2B
Lee 1B Hermida RF
Floyd RF Cabrera 3B
Ramirez 3B Jacobs 1B
DeRosa 2B Linden LF
Jones CF Treanor C
Kendall C De Aza CF
Marquis P Barone P
Young Barone makes his first-ever start against the Cubs, hoping to capture his first-ever win as a Major League starting pitcher. Barone has appeared in 15 games this season, five as a starter. In those five, he's pitched to an 8.31 ERA, given up 9 home runs in 21 2/3 IP, and walked more men (11) than he has struck out (10). Sounds like the kind of guy who gives us trouble. The Marlins' Jeremy Hermida, whose second-inning double was a key moment in Tuesday night's Florida win, is hitting .335 since the All-Star break. He went 2-for-3 with a home run against Marquis when the Marlins beat the Cubs on May 29th at Wrigley. This will be Marquis's final regular season start unless the Cubs and Brewers need to meet in that Game 163 playoff, in which case I will be dead from stress and disappointment so I won't see it anyhow, therefore I'm counting tonight as Marquis's final regular season start no matter what. Nasty outing last time for Jason going up against the Pirates and the Wrigley Field jetstream, in which Marquis gave up seven runs in just 2 2/3 innings. Let the magic number reduction begin. Please.

Wait... Wes is pitching against the Cubs tonight? No wonder why he hasn't responded in the previous post!

Just another hunch. Believe me though, my hunches are usually right, because I work in the....nevermind.

That lineup sucks, what's Theriot doing hitting second? Why Kendall and no Soto? Cliff Floyd a clean up hitter on a playoff team? Give me a break. (it's Marquis, says Lilly)

Submitted by Chad on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:07 pm

"If the first-place Chicago Cubs are serious about winning the NL Central, they should probably figure out a way to beat the Florida Marlins." From the sportsline write up. couldn't agree more.

Submitted by Matt on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:01 pm

After that questionable call doubling up Soriano at first you could hear a guy in the stands yell out "That must be the same umpire from last night" or something to that effect. You gotta love an empty ballpark.

Before this week is out, I want the NAME and the HOME ADDRESS of the JERK who posted a link to "historical evidence" that no team had EVER blown a lead of 3.5 games with a week to go.

Submitted by Matt on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:23 pm

Don't worry. We have Steve Trachsel pitching tomorrow and Marquis again for the one-game playoff that we be lucky to get to after another Marlins sweep.

Submitted by Daniel on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:26 pm

Leave it to the Cubs to find a way to piss away a fucking three and a half game lead inside 3 days.

Submitted by JeffPico on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:34 pm

I think I've said if the Cubs can't win 3 or 4 from the Marlins and Reds they aren't a playoff team. I still think they will pull it off even if they lose tonight...down 7-4 in the eighth right now.

Submitted by Daniel on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:51 pm

Just looking at that chump ass, stupid shit pretend baseball stadium the Marlins play in is irritating. Add to it listening to those glib Marlins announcers on the damn direct tv ticket I pay $200 for...just obnoxious. Having to root for the dumb ass Cardinals on top of it....

Submitted by dc60124 on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:04 pm

the umpires could have done the cubs a favor by throwing ramirez out of tonight's game also. he just is cold cold cold. sure hope trachsel can pull a miracle out of his gear bag tomorrow. but hope is for suckers, like me. how soon is panic around here permissible?

Submitted by Ron Galt on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:05 pm

The Cardinals have just brought on someone named "Brian Falkenborg" to protect their one-run lead in the seventh.

Submitted by Ron Galt on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:14 pm

Panic time should wait; it'd be appropriate if the Brewers come back tonight and the Cubs lose another full game tomorrow. The Reds are without Dunn, Griffey, and Hamilton. The Cubs will win and the Brewers will lose at least one of the remaining four, and if the Brewers lose tonight, that makes three, enough for a tiebreaker. Just one of the other six wraps it up.

Submitted by dc60124 on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:15 pm

end of 7 3-2 cards. awful to need to rely on your competitor to lose for the day to be a success.

Submitted by Johann on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:18 pm

So...Marquis' best month since May was a 4.45 ERA in August and yet Sean Marshall is the one taken out of the rotation? I at this point would rather have Sean in our playoff rotation over Marquis.

Submitted by dc60124 on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:19 pm

The Reds are without Dunn, Griffey, and Hamilton. ron, i hope you prove to be correct, but all the damage done to cub pithcers last week came from phillips and hopper and keppinger and encarnacion. those folks remain sickeningly healthy. and the cub collars were nowhere near as tight last week as they will be in cincy, under must win conditions, this weekend. somebody has to stagger acroos the finish line first; here's hoping it's our fellas and not wisconsin's fellas.

In other news--- The Nationals just swept the Mets. In New York. Phils now a game back. Don't make any plans for Sunday -- it could be a very wild day.

Submitted by dc60124 on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:41 pm

way cool- 3 cardinal runs in top 8th (so far). no sense stopping now, guys, pile on about 6 more. or 7 including the extra point.

Submitted by Daniel on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:44 pm

Man it was fun watching Turnbow just absolutely melt down. It brought joy to my heart. Watching Hall take a spill on the warning track caused me to laugh out loud. Go Cards go.

Submitted by cubster on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:47 pm

Brewers play with fire by bringing in a doofus pitcher (McClung) to intentionally hit Pujols as a retaliation for an earlier beaning of Fielder, warnings were given when Fielder was hit so McClung was ejected and so was Yost (2 games in a row)...all after yesterday's game with beanball action. So they bring in Turnbow who winds up walking in a run, and the big hit was Taguchi's double with the bags loaded. Hope the Cards pen can close this puppy down...ahead 7-2

Submitted by Pell Mell on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:54 pm

Cubster, thanks for the explanation! I was following the game on Yahoo and of course missed all of that subtext. I really wish the Cubs had won, but at least they're not headhunting in the middle of a playoff race. That is criminally stupid. Hope the Cards can make them eat it.

Submitted by cubster on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:57 pm

Rayn Franklin 3 up 3 down against the Brewers in the 8th...one more inning to go notice that the Mets lost again blowing a 5-0 lead.

Submitted by billybucks on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:13 pm

Four games to go -- and no one in the NL has clinched a playoff spot. Cubs can't beat the Fish, Mets get swept at home by the Nats, and the D-backs have lost their first 2 to the Pirates. Sheesh. All the AL spots are taken. By very good teams. If the playoffs were an 8-team tourney, the top NL team would be seeded 5th.

I really, really, really hate being happy when the cards win... *grumble* *grumble*

Take a breath. Lead still 2 games. Magic number now 3. All Hail So Taguchi and Jason Isringhausen. But seriously, tell the pitchers its OK to actually, you know, pitch well. And the fielders that it's OK to turn 2. Geez.

And thank you, Seth McClung (and Ned Yost?) for what might be the dumbest beaning of all time.

Pitchers in Milw vs SD Thurs Cassell vs Gallardo Fri Maddux vs Capuano Sat Chris Young vs Bush Sun Tompko vs Suppan I've seen the SD pitchers listed as above, just going on their current sequence after Gallardo for the Brewers

Submitted by Wrigley's Beli… on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:36 pm

Peavy is pitching effectively against SF with hella run support but his stuff does not look Peavyesque. Black would be stupid to run him out against Milwaukee on Sunday on a day-short rest, especially considering how he looks tonight. If he does, he's liable to take a beating. And if it does come down to Sunday in the NL Central (fuck I hope not), that will definitely make it MUST-win for the Cubs.

Submitted by Andy on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:38 pm

Interestingly, Pujols scored 3 runs tonight for a season total of 96. He's going for 7 straight seasons of 100 RBI and 100 runs scored...he has the RBI's; four games left to score four runs. He was stranded on 3rd at least twice last night and would have scored if he wasn't so gimpy. Might not have hurt our cause if he had... Anyway, what do I care?? Go Cubs!

Submitted by Fireball on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:50 pm

That's how Yost is going to get the Brewers the division: he's going to get himself suspended. I'm not sure they could find a person on their bench who would be a worse manager than him...

Submitted by Chad on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 09:14 pm

re #57 7 ip 5 h 2 r 1 bb sure only 1 k but he didn't even hit 100 pitches. If the Pads need to win on Sunday I would run Peavy out there. And as a Cub fan, well, it 'shouldn't' matter as if the Pads need to win on Sunday they probably already won 2 previous games. I don't think a split will get them in the playoffs. Remember, I said 'should't'.

Submitted by dave on Thu, 09/27/2007 - 09:37 am

He was stranded on 3rd at least twice last night and would have scored if he wasn’t so gimpy. Might not have hurt our cause if he had… On the wild pitch? I didn't see the play, but from several who did, there was NO way he scores on the pitch even if healthy. I think it was Rob G who said, "Juan Pierre would have been out on the play" or something like that.

Submitted by jacos on Thu, 09/27/2007 - 09:14 am

Ned Yost is an idiot. If they retain him as a manager the Brewers will be going nowhere. Settling scores during a pennant race?? Moron.

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

  • crunch (view)

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I don’t see Tauchman as a weak link in any position. He simply adds his value in a different way.

    I don’t know that we gain much by putting him in the outfield - Happ, Bellinger and Suzuki and Tauchman all field their positions well. If you’re looking for Taucnman’s kind of AB in a particular game I don’t see why it can’t come from DH.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Tauchman gets a pinch hit RBI single with a liner to RF. This is his spot. He's a solid 4th OF. But he isn't a DH. 

    He takes pitches. Useful. I still believe in having good hitters.

    You don't want your DH to be your weak link (other than your C maybe)
