Cubs vs Phils overflow 1 July 19th

We took friends from Pennsylvania Saturday, they go to see the Pirate flag flying on the top. The only other time I can remember that is on April 2 this year. And crap, gives up two.

but look at what a good manager can do for a team that is not stacked with talent.

Phillies anouncers were talking about Marshall's inherited runner scoring %

was worse than the NL average, but with no runners on base, he does very well.

Also another reason to have taken Garza out..especially if the numbers are right in front of u.

He's scared of confrontation anymore..

not to mention not arguing that call at 2nd the other night.

to watch the game by my friends, all Phillies fans.

It was fun for 7 innings. Wasn’t too much fun for the last 2 innings.

Just wore my 1914 Cubs hat and my Pronger Team Canada Shersey. Oh well!

At least the food was good and I drank some great beer!

by PhillyCub on Jul 19, 2011 10:56 PM CDT reply actions

Well I saw the end of the game at Buffalo Wild wings and just had one question...

Perhaps it was discussed earlier…..

I totally understood bringing in marshall to face the tough LH batters in the 8th…It did not work out, but it was the correct move…..

So why did he even come out to pitch the 9th? Why is he facing the RH batters…We do have have Wood and Marmol down there right? Even Shark if you are scared to pitch the other 2….Again this seems like the bullpen was not managed correctly in the 9th.

I feel for Garza…..He seems like a good pitcher and a better teammate. That is 2 gems in a row the pen has blown for him.
