This game is getting interesting if Valbuena gets on base

Tie game, bases still loaded for Brett Jackson :nervous:

 

[Rice Cube]

Bah! Too patient for his own good.

What else is new with Jackson? K this, K that, KS EVERYWHERE

 

[Rice Cube]

Definitely something to work on.

He's got enough power. What he needs is better pitch recognition (he's got a good eye given his large OBP minus AVG split) but he doesn't seem to know when he should swing and protect, and when he should take. That comes with more experience, we hope.

 

[ChicagoDawg1991]

Marmol with a 1-2-3 inning?

 

[ChicagoDawg1991]

maybe ask Rudy Jaramillo for advice?

 

[Rice Cube]

Strikeouts are contagious tonight.

 

[Rice Cube]

Free baseball

If this goes into the 11th the Cubs are probably not going to win...

 

[Rice Cube]

If they IBB Castillo, BJax gets another chance...
