Major conclusion about tonight's game: Marshall can throw strikes.
This is important. We don't like to see our pitchers walk a guy when the bases are loaded. We like our pitchers to make the opposing batters hit the ball and give our fielders some exercise.
Fielders get bored and go to sleep in their shoes. They need to see balls coming their way. They like to play the game. They like to make outs.
Marshall gave up only four hits. Unfortunately, one was a home run.
The Cubs lost 2-1, even though they got three more hits than the Padres. It would have been nice if Cubs batters could have scored more than one run. But life is like that.
Marshall can throw strikes.
