Bad approach by Fonzie and LBR... would have like more runs!
I'm a truth teller, I'm a risk taker, I'm like Johnny Cash - I walk the line...
How was it a bad approach by Fonzie?
It was, literally, exactly how he SHOULD approach the at bat. What are you talking about??
swung too hard
Most HR hitters will tell you that a nice, level swing is the key to hitting it out. Henry Aaron often said he hit his HRs when he wasn’t trying to jack one.
okay, how about 3 bad swings
will that make you happier

i thought the credit on fonzie's should go to weathers
who made some ballsy pitches to get back into it.
Agreed
The two strikes were right there.

95 is pretty high for a rookie
He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

At least Votto isn't the tying run at the plate.
But a great start by Wells, even if Lou sent him for the 8th when he shouldn’t have.

The Cubs won that one
Marmol is still horrible.
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
After yesterday's game
it took Carlos Marmol to make everyone appreciate Kevin Gregg again.

He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

did you have that queued up during all those pitches by Marmol lol?

Nope ... waited for the game to end to make it.

Again
Should have gone after Sherrill instead of Grabow.
The price was comparable, and he can close.
I’ll take the win, though.
by ElHijoDelRonSanto on Aug 3, 2009 8:58 PM CDT reply actions
I don't think the price was comperable
I believe the Dodgers gave up prospects rated well ahead of Hart & Ascanio

I don't understand the marmol hate
He just closed the game for us….woody used to do this same shit, and dempster before him.
Because a lot of Cubs fans
are getting more neurotic by the year, sadly.

Well, not as often
And they did good jobs consistently….

if you don't understand the anger with Marmol
than you simply haven’t been paying attention. Wood and Dempster might have struggled they did not have 48 walks, in 51 IP
That’s beyond ridiculous
by WanderingWanderer on Aug 3, 2009 9:00 PM CDT up reply actions
He should not have been in there
He has NO control these days. Stevens has not been seen in over a week ( not counting when he was not on the roster) and Marshall had not pitched since Friday. We got out of it by the hair of our chinny,chin chins.

I'd guess
You’ll see those guys tomorrow.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Aug 3, 2009 9:01 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't think we will see poor Stevens
Till the next blow out or 17 inning game even though he has done well the few times he was in. In fact if the do bring up
Ryan I am imagine he will go down and that is ASSUMING Shark goes down for Gorzelanny tomorrow as it could be Stevens.

and we didn't win jack shit with either guy!
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
And Marmol did this same crap last year also...
But just not as often.
Someday we'll go all the way...
by CubsBullsBears on Aug 3, 2009 9:00 PM CDT up reply actions
He did it
in 2006, when he was a starter, too. It’s not his stuff, it’s between his ears.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Aug 3, 2009 9:02 PM CDT up reply actions
I think it's his mechanics honestly...
But it could be mental also. I think he just can’t really replicate the same motion, so pitches pretty much land where they might.
Someday we'll go all the way...

i read an article that said that marmol gave up the game winning run to the denmark team during the WBC
that might be it but who knows
He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

Better have a sitdown with the catcher and get the right pitches thrown
not f*ckin hanging sliders to .198 hitters! Geezus!

He was so close to hitting post and then they won
and spoiled all his fun.

as long as he averages 6 innings a start until the end of the season
he’ll qualify easily
by WanderingWanderer on Aug 3, 2009 9:03 PM CDT up reply actions
I think the elephant in the room is...
that Randy is our NUMBER ONE STARTER. As Col Jessup would say, to Dempster / Lilly / Z “if that’s a source of tension or embarrassment for you, I don’t give a s____”
and yet, should we make the playoffs, I doubt he'll be in the rotation
I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think that’s how Lou will roll.
by WanderingWanderer on Aug 3, 2009 9:05 PM CDT up reply actions
yes but Dempster was the #2, and Z was having dead arm issues to end the year
like I said, I hope I’m wrong, but I’d be willing to bet the playoff rotation will be Z, Lilly, Harden, Dempster
by WanderingWanderer on Aug 3, 2009 9:08 PM CDT up reply actions
i think that Lou would show great inflexibility in thinking....
if he didn’t start Randy in Game 1 if we make the nlds. just cause he’s a rookie, doesn’t mean he shouldn’t start. i’d be pissed. John Lackey, Rookie, won Game 7 of the World Series. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ANA/ANA200210270.shtml
it depends on where wells is probably
if he’s still within a good IP number, he’s probably on the roster.
with a young guy you need to watch the jump in his innings.
Bullshit

Cannot get enough of Wells
This kid continues to impress me.
He doesn’t have the spectacular stuff of a Carlos Zambrano, but he has much more poise. He doesn’t get rattled. I think we can expect many good surprises from this young man.
