never thought id say this about a relief pitcher, but marmol deserves a win. haha he pry wont get it, but deserves it

[Andy]

I want Marmol closing as soon as Dempster either has his contract run out or loses effectiveness. As it is he should be the 2nd setup man with Howry.

[C.C.]

I love Derosa!

[DurbanJer]

I wouldn't mind seeing Marmol start.

 

eh, too wild...walks killed him...he's a two pitch pitcher and much more effective for an inning or two

 

As long as he keeps Eyre from coming in to the game, I have all kinds of man-love for him.

Agreed..plus his velocity is better as a reliever, which makes him quite a bit more effective. I think he's going to continue to be a really good reliever though.

I'm just hoping Eyre doesn't eat him!

[soccer10k]

Man, Marmol has been absolutely lights out since getting called up.

[Mizzou]

Damn, Marmol is on tonight!

 

Why did Marshall leave after four innings? Just ineffectiveness I guess?

[Omar]

Then I wouldn't mind seeing him close games. He certainly has closer stuff.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Marmol reminds me a lot of Francisco Rodriguez

[OleMissCub]

DeRo's a hell of a bargain.

love dero....yeah i agree with you there....marmol is a bad man, but i like the idea of gettin his feet wet in the pen for a year then maybe next year tryin to go to him...or end of this year

[soccer10k]

Leadoff singles are nice.

The only thing the bothers me about DeRo is that he could block Patterson.

stranded baserunners are not

[soccer10k]

Watch Jacque ground into a DP here.

[cubweiser03]

Pagan here, no?

[Mizzou]

DeRo's a hell of a bargain.

If he continues hitting like he has this year, I could care less.

what about fontenot blocking patterson

[OleMissCub]

That AquaVelva "father-son" commercial doesn't make any sense.

[soccer10k]

Pagan here, no?

 

Nah, that would make too much sense.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

ugh sac bunt

[CubColtPacer]

Yeah, that does seem to be the Cubs plan with Marmol. They've been saying that they want him eventually to be a great closer since the offseason. I really think so too-I have no problem with Dempster right now, but I like how they've put Marmol in some key spots these past couple weeks. I certainly hope they don't put him back as the long man when Gallagher goes back down (which I assume will happen eventually)

I think Patterson will be better than Fontenot.

[soccer10k]

ugh sac bunt

 

Better than a DP.
