I am just as mad at Lou right now as I have ever been with Baker. Lou bats Zambrano, then takes him out. Lou uses an overused Marmol four straight games, the last two with huge leads. The pen has plenty of fresh arms. Lou, just because you are managing against Baker doesn't mean you don't have to manage like him. Man I am so mad at him.

Yeah, how dare he expect Marmol to throw 35 pitches in the last week! His arm is going to fall off throwing so many pitches!!!

 

It will because he'll have to pitch every game the rest of the year when Wuertz and Lieber wind up on milk cartons from trying to find their way to the mound.

 

Exactly. I'm not upset about this outing because of any overuse of Marmol.

 

What it does do though is take him out tomorrow for absolutely no good reason, and it also takes an inning away from pitchers who really could use it. That's the big problem with what just happened out there.

 

Agreed

If I were a girl, I'd want to be Sarah Wood.

I would go with Mrs. Soto.

Good Lord Lou. Thanks for making this much more gut wrenching than it needed to be.

[Outshined_One]

How about giving Marmol a few days off Lou?
