WHAT THE F**K, LOU?!?!?!

 

And I don't care how much he hits, Theriot ---SOAPDROPPING--- sucks defensively at SS.

 

The thing is Marmol should be able to get 3 giants out without giving up 5 runs anyways. Theriots play should have never happened if Marmol does his job.

 

Theriot's trying to end the game in an obviously tough situation. It's Lou's horrible managing and Marmol's shredded arm that is to blame here, not Ryan

 

 

This excuse is absolutely ridiculous. The SS has to know the game situation and make smart decisions. Saying he messed up because Marmol, in his 49th game before the ASB, was not doing well.

I'm just going to call a loss right here and really hope I'm wrong.

 

Seriously, as soon as the leadoff double was hit, I left my computer and started reading, confident the game would be over when I came back. Thanks a lot, Marmol and Lou.

Good thing Marmol imploded in late June/early July instead of August or September when Hendry can't do as much about it.

I blame Marmol. I blame lou for not taking marmol out. i don't blame theriot. He was desparate, and he saw that marmol was sucking. It was not a good decision, but I understand it.

 

It was a terrible decision. He was on his back and a runner was on third base. If he botched that throw, the runner could score easily from third.

 

I don't understand it at all.

 

Yeah that was an awful decision. Even if he some how made a perfect throw, one that has maybe a 5% chance of being perfect, I'm not sure if he gets the out in time anyways.

 

He's trying to save his team from Lou. I don't blame him for trying something desperate. It was desperation time. If he holds on to the ball Marmol gives it up anyway in all likelihood. That was probably our only chance to win the damn game. I don't crucify players for trying to win. I do crucify managers for putting the other team at an advantage they shouldn't have.

If Marshall pitches a scoreless 10th Cubs win in the bottom half. ARam will put an end to this foolishness once and for all.

I'm crossing my fingers that with the AS break and hopefully tomorrow, Marmol will get enough rest to regain some form, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

The performance today can't be good for his psyche even if his arm does get right.

Ryan Theriot is not a shortstop.

 

I don't care how much he hits, he's HORRIBLE defensively, and has cost us alot of runs this year.

 

untrue.

 

Yes it is. He has horrible range, a horrible arm, and has made numerous poor decisions in the field.

 

His offense has been great, but if one tried to make the case that Ryan is anything better than a mediocre defender at SS, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
