Overflow Thread 2: Cubs vs. Astros, Sunday 7/20, 1:05 CT

Yelloncard_tiny by Al on in Game Threads

Since Kerry Wood is apparently "unavailable" again... and Carlos Marmol hasn't pitched since the break... I'm guessing he's closing today.

Has Dome been wearing a sleeve on his R elbow all year?

I don’t remember, but didn’t he have surgery on that elbow?

Yes to the armor

not sure if it’s the one he had surgery on.

Stupid pitching changes

You’re down by 7 runs in the 9th inning. Changing pitchers is not going to appreciably improve your chance of winning

after all

lightning isn’t gonna strike twice, is it? :D

I hope he can come in and pitch and finish the game. Another inning where he struggles could be it.
