remarkably stupid by Theriot to not eat that ball. Not to take away from the shitty outing by Marmol and all. Hopefully he can pick up the ultimate vulture win here in the 9th. Wood is obviously hurting, sounds like a blister.

Submitted by VirginiaPhil on Sat, 07/12/2008 - 07:27 pm

Marmol would benefit from a trip to the minors, just to get away from Larry Rothschild. Rothschild has turned Marmol into Michael Wuertz, a one-pitch pitcher. "Just keep throwing the slider until they hit it. Then throw it some more." Remember when Marmol threw 97? You've got a good memory. I'd love to take the #50 jersey away from that guy, too.

Submitted by Q-Ball on Sat, 07/12/2008 - 07:33 pm

Between May 24th and May 31st, Marmol threw 128 pitches in 6 different outings over 7 days. Since then, he hasn't been the same pitcher, and has had an ERA over 8. Many expressed concern about overwork then. Maybe Marmol needs 15 days off more than anything.

Submitted by Jeff_Pico on Sat, 07/12/2008 - 07:35 pm

Apparantly Lou has deemed this game expendable. absolutely ridiculous that he doesn't take Marmol out there for Marshall to face Bowker. They might still pull this one out but apparantly Piniella thought it was ok to put Marmol out there to rot.

Submitted by Jeff_Pico on Sat, 07/12/2008 - 07:22 pm

Listening to Lou's postgame comments on the radio: He says Wood will not pitch until after the all star break due to blisters. Blamed Marmol for the little dribbler and said if he would have made that play the inning would be over. Chalked it up as a 'learning experience'. Either Lou isn't saying anything or they really don't believe there is any problem with Marmol. Strange.

Nice "objective" article you linked to, all in order to make doubly sure we know how much the Cub's talent evaluation/trade prowess suck. God, your act is so tired and old - go play in your litter box, sweetheart.

"On second thought, keep him away, far away, from our minor leaguers." Who, of course, suck - because our farm system sucks. It's like listening to a Mynah bird - same thing over, and over, and over again...

just guessing... ...rich harden is hoping hendry trades for a couple more relievers. can't protect a 7 run lead over 2 innings? zounds. ...carlos marmol is second guessing not taking the winter off. ...lou is upset he did not run the 2-point conversion instead of kicking; cubs would have won in regulation instead of overtime. ...jim edmonds suggests to lou to leave him in the lineup a little longer, and let reed johnson be the 9th inning caddy for soriano when he returns post a-s-g. unless i missed a medical reason to do so, why sit the hottest hitter on the day?

dc you hit it on the head marmol second guessing not taking the winter off, the kid needs some time off. sean marshall = player of the game he is looking forward to going to az. to spend some time with his favorite news lady.

One of the things that jumps out at me is that many often complain about the big money multi year deals handed to relievers. (Where would the Sox be without Dotel and Linebrink?) The addition of Harden in the rotation is super huge but it really doesn't address the second issue with our pitching. Eyre's injuries (Lou seems to trust him) combined with our starters inability to go deep (aside from Z and Demp) has taxed our pen. Would Damaso Marte be cheap or worth while? http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6261

Was anyone listening to the game on the radio yesterday? I feel like, once the tying runs scored, we didn't hear from Ronnie for a long while. No "Ah, geez!" or anything. I wonder if they cut his mike, or if he had to wander off and collect himself...?

Submitted by Timmer on Sun, 07/13/2008 - 07:19 am

Glad to hear he went and visited the boy who's in the hospital after getting hit by the liner off Lilly's bat. Classy.

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    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). 

  • Childersb3 (view)

    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.
