Nice. Good job, Marmol

Nice job Marmol

[Sammy Sofa]

Well, hopefully Grabow has sufficiently pissed off Lou to the point he will be used in his proper role of LOOGY - if at all.

 

A set-up man by committee would be the best strategy for this pen, IMO. No guy stands out so why not pick whoever has been throwing the best lately?

 

Marshall hasn't stood out? Based on these 3 games (sample size!) he should be the clear favorite to be the setup guy.

[genbar]

Nyse.

[weis21]

Yes!

 

Marmol looked like he had pretty good control that AB. Just barely missed with the first two sliders. I think he may need to use that fastball a little earlier to set up the slider however. It seemed last year hitters were just taking them until he threw a strike.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Starlin just hit an RBI triple.

Well, yeah. That's fine. I wouldn't have a problem with him as the high leverage guy used to put out any fires regardless of the inning either.

[Drew Doughty]

vasgersian dropping the animal house reference. nice.

 

he's really my favorite national PBP guy. loved him when he was with SD.

Caridads looked very nice between his outings this year, spring training, and what we saw of him late last season.

[UMFan83]

Tyco's BABIP is .000 tonight.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Chavez is filthy. Hopefully Marmol can be for another 3 outs.

I'm a little surprised that mlb.tv doesn't have the MLB network feed as an option to stream.

[Little Slide Rooter]

lets do this Marmol.

would they take a national broadcast? i know gamecenter doesn't do that with versus/nhl network, they just black us out. never had mlb.tv though.

[Sammy Sofa]

Obviously, it's the beginning of the season and the Cubs' offense is still largely dormant, but the Braves' pitching is looking pretty good all around.

I'm not sure. I just assumed they were affiliated and would have a vesting interest in having that feed available.

LMAO at the guy snapping the picture of that guy on his iphone

[Roast]

LOL eat that slider, Heyward.

[NotSoSober]

filthy

[JonJayCutler]

Completely outmatched.

[Sammy Sofa]

Wow. Marmol just ate him up with those sliders.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Heyward is a fine young player, but Marmol made him look silly.
