Thoughts on Marmol?

[Mizzou]

28 innings.

 

3 runs on 18 hits.

 

40 strikeouts vs. 10 walks.

 

0.96 ERA.

 

Seriously, could this guy be any filthier?

 

Edit: Yeah, even though I started a new thread, let's go ahead and add my post into a week old thread. Can't have more than one topic on a current Cubs player!

Marmol reminds me of like K-Rod on roids or something.

I'd like to see him as the set man for a little while longer...and when Lou wakes up later this off season and get us another pitching coach Then maybe and only than I'd think of making Marmol" the Magician " the closer

Welcome to NSBB, the best place to drown your Cubs related misery this side of your local pub! :lol:

Welcome. Out of curiosity, who's Tinkers? :D

 

I actually think Rothschild has done a good job this year. I don't think he needs to be replaced. I didn't think that way the last couple of years, but more and more I'm believing the reports that the problem wasn't Rothschild himself, but rather that Dusty refused to listen to him.

I know no one ever believes posts like this, but trust me, it's true. I know a friend of Larry Rothschild and I've heard that he and Dusty got along poorly. Dusty was far more inclined to listen to Dick Pole about pitching matters than he was to Larry Rothschild.

Welcome.

 

I'm going to take some heat for this, but Marmol might be a player that could get the Cubs a decent bat in a trade. I'm not saying that I'm advocating for him to be traded, but bullpens are are more tempramental than a 13 year-old cheerleader.

 

I suppose the Cubs could put Dempster on the block, but he has to get healthy first.

Dusty never wanted Rothschild in the first place; Rothschild was the only coach with time remaining on his contract when Dusty was hired, so Dusty was stuck with him. Pole had been one of "Dusty's boys" going back some time, so he's who Dusty really wanted as pitching coach.

 

One thing that always puzzled me is why they didn't just flip-flop Rothschild's and Pole's coaching assignments. That way Dusty would have had his choice as pitching coach, and since Rothschild is a former manager he would have fit in as a bench coach.

Wow, how mature of you! If you want to move/add/delete posts go for it. If that's really what you want to be doing at 2 in the morning, good for you. Seriously though, I think it's silly, but whatever. No big deal.

It wasn't me who moved your post to the existing thread; I was commenting on your continuing to make a federal case out of a minor issue. You'll note that Tim also commented on your griping (although in a more succinct manner).

I was the one who moved it. I don't see what the big deal is - the Marmol thread was at the bottom of the first page in General Discussions.

 

Sorry what I do at 2 am CT isn't up to your standards.
