We’re winning! Good to see. Marquis’s numbers are good thus far, although 1-0 is an unlikely winning score. Hopefully the pitching stays strong and the bats heat up, go Cubs!

Bases loaded. One out. Pitcher up.

Yep.
Big league stats are a small sample size. But K and BB rates stabilize a lot quicker than anything else. At 40 PAs they mean SOMETHING – not everything, but something.
Of course, we could get into his minor league stats and translations, but you’d call those bullshit too, probably.
I think I have
a preconceived notion based on the fact that he hasn’t done all that hot in clutch situations in the bigs.
Our 2008 Chicago Cubs -- FINDING WAYS TO WIN!
by drewishdrewid on Sep 6, 2008 7:48 PM CDT up reply actions
It's not about clutch or unclutch.
It’s that he doesn’t seem to have any command of the strike zone – he’ll swing at anything. He’s a very undisciplined hitter.
well, maybe
but it’s magnified when it’s a clutch situation.

Just came in...
…what were the Red’s announcers talking about when they were talking about some Cub fans?
"I'm petrified of nipple chafing. Once it starts, it's a vicious circle." Andy Bernard
the Cubs fans boo'd
when they tried that fake to third and spin to first play. The Reds announcers said that the fans were yelling “balk” which, of course, it isn’t. Then they said you don’t need basic baseball knowledge to buy a ticket……or to put on a “Blue” jersey. That’s what they said. I will not say what I think about them as announcers.
So typical...

If they pitch to Soriano again, he may put one in the river.

Bases loaded jam in the 4th
Escaped with minimal damage, and now cruising on 82 pitches through 6. Not too shabby.
its the big leagues
everyone’s paid too much.

exactly it's the market
I know if someone offer to pay me triple what I charge to clean there house. I won’t turn them down. No different than Marquis signing a contract worth more than he deserves

Baseball is the perfect game...
