Staggerlee · Sep 6, 2007

Is this why the total is so high? And is the over the play?

at 1st glance, that total was nuts

I know Marquis is a fly ball pitcher, is Lowe the same??? If not, seems like LA is the play

rolltide · Sep 6, 2007

problem is that Lowe is one of the biggest ground ball pitchers in baseball and Marquis the biggest ground ball pitcher on the Cubs. Isn't under worth a shot here?

BrashL · Sep 6, 2007

Ummmmm, I pretty sure Marquis is a fly ball pitcher...typo?

rolltide · Sep 6, 2007

nope. his career GO/AO is 1.50 (this year a bit more at 1.64) which is pretty average. A guy like Lilly is .70 or so...

he gets out a higher percentage of ground outs than any cubs starter

Lowe is 2.82 GO/AO which is top 5-6 in NL starters and he's been above 2.50 every year in his career so he's a serious grounder getter

both are sinker ball pitchers..

BrashL · Sep 6, 2007

OK, my bad, thanks for the info

BrashL · Sep 6, 2007

What's with the steam on the cubs?

Snets · Sep 6, 2007

Under ump as well....Rapuano is 8-19 O-U 7.71 runs 62% strike outs

BrashL · Sep 6, 2007

Just saw the ballpark though, wind isn't just blowing out, it's howling. Homeruns will be hit today, just about any high fly has a chance to go...

The wind is nuts over here, take it from somebody that lives a block away from wrigley

i would take over first 5 innings at 6 runs

Lowe is the play, he's had some very dominant performances there too.
