Newsbreakers

August 7, 2009

Sean Marshall made an emergency start for the Cubs against the Rockies on Friday night after Carlos Zambrano was unable to go with a back injury, but gave up three runs in two innings en route to taking the loss, as the Rockies won 6-2 in Denver.

Our View:

Marshall will likely stay in the bullpen even if Big Z lands on the DL, as the recently acquired Tom Gorzelanny would be in line to take his spot.

July 13, 2009

Sean Marshall was part of some unusual maneuvering by Cubs manager Lou Piniella in the ninth inning on Sunday. After coming in to face Nick Stavinoha, who he walked, Sweet Lou moved his lone lefty reliever into left field and brought in Aaron Heilman to face Brendan Ryan (a right handed bat), who he struck out. Lou then brought Marshall back in, and he retired pinch-hitter Jarrett Hoffpauir and Colby Rasmus.

Our View:

It was a decidedly Tony La Russa-esque move in a game in which he was managing against the king of micro-managing. While it didn't work to perfection, La Russa pinch hit the righty hitting Hoffpauir for lefty Skip Schumaker, it was ingenious nonetheless, and the Cubs allowed no runs in the inning despite loading the bases with no outs. Marshall replaced Alfonso Soriano in left field before Reed Johnson spelled him.

May 31, 2009

Sean Marshall got rocked by the Dodgers on Sunday, giving up seven earned runs (eight total) off eight hits and one walk while striking out two in 4.1 innings.

Our View:

Marshall took the loss and fell to 3-4. This was not the right time for Marshall to get shelled, as manager Lou Piniella had already come out and said that Marshall, not Randy Wells, would likely be relegated to the bullpen once Rich Harden returns from the DL. Marshall can safely be dropped at this point if you happen to still own him.

May 30, 2009

Sean Marshall could head back to the bullpen after his next start, according to the Chicago Tribune. Randy Wells has pitched well enough to remain in the rotation, so once Zambrano and Harden return, Marshall appears to be the odd man out.

Our View:

Marshall made most of his appearances last season out of the bullpen, so this shouldn't be a big adjustment. He has appeared in 10 games this season, seven starts. In those starts, the left-hander has a good 3.63 ERA.

May 26, 2009

Sean Marshall allowed just one run on four hits and two walks over five innings and got the complete game win on Tuesday. The Cubs' 6-1 victory was completed early due to rain. Marshall struck out six and improved to 3-3 on the season.

Our View:

This was a perfect scenario for Marshall. A pitcher who can't go deep in games gets a five-inning rain-shortened complete game win. Marshall's ERA is down to 3.70 this season, and he's been more than serviceable. However, he'll likely head to the bullpen when Rich Harden returns.
