Marmol sets franchise record for Ks in a season

[rawaction]

Has he really only allowed 1 HR all season? I guess that makes some sense since you either sit there and hope he walks you or flail wildly.

 

It's kind of weird that in what was probably his best year (2008) he gave up 10 home runs (out of 40 hits) in 87 1/3 innings while in 07, 09 and 10 combined, he gave up 6 home runs (out of 124 hits) in 221 innings.

 

Other numbers for Marmol from 2008: .171 BABIP, 11% LD% and an 11.8% HR/FB. He was giving up about the same number of extra base hits but a few happened to go out of the park instead of staying in as doubles.

 

Friggin Nate McLouth. Actually, 4 of his last 12 HRs allowed have been vs. the Pirates.
