Can we take him out already?

 

Have we seen enough?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Uh oh.

[Sorianos hop]

Here we go!

[Mizzou]

Enough already about the Marmol bitching. He threw 9 pitches yesterday and 10 on Sunday. I think he's going to be okay.

[cubs121]

dammit come on Marmol.. were oh soo close..

[Sorianos hop]

Hi Kerry

[Ding Dong Johnson]

64 pitchers in the pen, and Marmol has to be the only one who plays

[Hall7810]

Now Woody's up.

[Jon]

Lou seems like the kind of dad who'd make his son smoke an entire carton of cigarettes if he ever caught him smoking.

If he gives up a 3run HR here, I think it would be permissible to bitch

[BCVM22]

Stomach hurting. Bad feeling rising.

a WEEK

 

And Wood hasn't pitched since Saturday

[Wilson A2000]

To reiterate: neither Lieber or Wuertz have pitched in a WEEK.

 

This hurts them too because they aren't getting their work. I hope the reporters nail him on this. Part me of wants to see Marmol give up a homerun just to spite Lou. All that talk about getting Marmol rest is BS.

Don't let facts get in the way of some good Lou bashing. There was a day off in between those days too.

 

That's not to say I agree with the move, but the ridiculous hyperbole in here is laughable.

[Schwarber Fan]

Enough already about the Marmol bitching. He threw 9 pitches yesterday and 10 on Sunday. I think he's going to be okay.

 

But there is NO reason at all to have him in here.

 

None

[Mizzou]

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!!!

[erik316wttn]

Now Woody's up.

 

Will someone please tell Lou how to manage a bullpen? Neither Marmol nor Wood should have even touched a baseball tonight.

[BigSlick]

Enough already about the Marmol bitching. He threw 9 pitches yesterday and 10 on Sunday. I think he's going to be okay.

No reason to warm him up every time we play a game

 

Also its not a bad idea to you know, get your other bullpen guys some work so when you need them tehy can pitch effectively

[bcl412]

Now I kind of want him out because he's sucking.

Seriously. I'm mad that he was brought in at all, but I don't care that they kept him in. He just got stepped on. He's a big boy, he'll be fine.

Maybe Bruce will.

[BigSlick]

95% chance he walks him

Is he the only one allowed to pitch out of the pen on the team?

[BCVM22]

We's about to have bases loaded. :|

gorgeous analogy.
