SNEAKY POWER!

[Wilson A2000]

So would anyone include Marmol in a trade to the Indians for Sabathia?

 

I would in a heartbeat. Sabbathia is a Cy Young winner. Marmol is great, but not a Cy Young candidate.

[third eye]

Ninja power! :ninja:

[Hall7810]

Man, our lead is gonna shrink. Oh, man we lost ground.

[rocket]

fonteNOT YOU DIDN'T

[17 Seconds]

Marmol's era is now 3.56. Holy hell.

[cheapseats]

HAHAHAHAHAHA FONTE-YES!

 

He got all of that!

[David]

I guess that is sort of a miracle... :D

[Sammy Sofa]

OBVIOUS SUCKINESS!!!

[JonnyRed]

And there's our miracle...his name is Mike Fontenot....maybe I'll get his jersey!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Good job, Patterson.

 

That should speed his way to Iowa in the morning.

[cubscausestress]

barring a miracle we win this game. lee sucks, marmol is trash (trade him), cardinals are gonna win the division, torres is an elite closer, etc.

[Schwarber Fan]

So now who for the 8th? Howry?

[jaydee]

Maybe they should just shut him down for a couple weeks or something.

 

i don't think the problem is physical. he doesn't seem to have a very good mental makeup.

 

How do you figure that?

 

 

because he went from striking out 2 guys in 6 pitches to totally imploding.

[Guest]

wtf is wrong with Marmol?

 

He was used every game the first couple months. Not surprising that he's fallen a bit.

 

That's total B.S., but I guess facts really aren't welcome in this thread right now.

 

Marmol was on pace for 100+ IP well into June, it's likely he was being overworked.

[Roast]

WOAH wtf was derosa doing

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

So now who for the 8th? Howry?

 

That's my guess.

[Wilson A2000]

I want to blame Marmol's struggles on Lou's overuse of him, but his velocity has been there. Yes he has been erratic, but on the pitches recently (not counting today's) the pitches were decent pitches and the hitters just beat him.

[Schwarber Fan]

barring a miracle we win this game. lee sucks, marmol is trash (trade him), cardinals are gonna win the division, torres is an elite closer, etc.

 

1. overreaction (guilty)

2. lie

3. overreaction

4. possibility

5. lie

[Burtonbell]

Great, if this lead holds up we will see that sham of a closer.

 

WE LOSe GROUND TODAY!1!!!!!1

[chuckywang]

These last 6 outs are going to be excruciating ... I can just tell.

[Guest]

So we went from gaining a game on both teams to losing a game on both teams in like, what, 30 minutes?

 

uh, we haven't lost this game yet.

 

Lies.

[Sammy Sofa]

So would anyone include Marmol in a trade to the Indians for Sabathia?

 

I would in a heartbeat. Sabbathia is a Cy Young winner. Marmol is great, but not a Cy Young candidate.

 

Yeah, I've brought up Marmol trades all season with my buddies. If anything, I'm pissed his recent miscues could lower his value somewhat, even though Hendry would never have the balls to trade him.

[inari]

Marmol's seriously broken?

[JonnyRed]

So would anyone include Marmol in a trade to the Indians for Sabathia?

 

I would in a heartbeat. Sabbathia is a Cy Young winner. Marmol is great, but not a Cy Young candidate.

 

Are you crazy? What, you trade a very young and dominant relief pitcher just because he has a couple of bad weeks?
