Come onnnnnn Marmol!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

You'd think we only had a four man pen with the way Lou runs things.

[Sorianos hop]

FINISH HIM

[Butterscup1679666578]

to make you all feel better, Ryan Howard just HRed to put the Phils up 3-2

[CubInOK]

3-2 phils on a Howard HR.

[BigSlick]

95% chance he walks him

 

 

TAKE HIM OUT ALREADY

[weatherdood]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[BCVM22]

SOAPDROP. Come on.

[Jon]

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!!!

Don't you want Marmol to be able to pitch tomorrow in case it's actually close? What's the benefit of having him pitch tonight?

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.

[17 Seconds]

Good job Lou.

[TysonCBulls423]

Lou's gotta get him now.

[Sorianos hop]

Dagumit!

[bcl412]

Ryan Howard just homered.

[CubsGM]

....

[YearofDaCubs]

Lou, you're an idiot.

[Guest]

Is he hurt?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Okay, take him out because he sucks tonight.

[erik316wttn]

Great. Now the tying run is at the plate.

 

Brilliant move, Lou. Idiot.

[weatherdood]

to make you all feel better, Ryan Howard just HRed to put the Phils up 3-2

 

That'll make me feel better in about 5 minutes.

[TMan92]

How about a fastball....

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

I'm not saying he should or shouldn't be in the game right now. Up 4 runs, you probably wanna get someone else some work. But the hyperbole in this thread is just absurd. People make it sound like he's thrown 30 pitches the last three nights.

[BCVM22]

Woody coming in. I have a really bad feeling about this. Really, really bad.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

And now he'll go to Wood.

But he has to warm up. That is more pitches. When a pitcher is throwing poorly because of overuse, you don't use him more. Plus, he has been in during huge leads. Just unacceptable.
