Guh, that would have been huge

 

Did they almost get a double play on the lineout?

 

Castro lost a footrace to the bag by a half step.

Yeah Starlin caught a liner right behind the bag and just lost to Bourne back to to 2nd

Wow, I really thought Dale Sveum would be different. Same meathead philosophy as every other manager, though.

 

What philosophy is that?

[Guest]

yay one more

See, the crowd likes strikeouts! :hello:

[UMFan83]

Gameday has Marmol getting really, really screwed on some of these calls.

 

Squeezing a guy with no control? Great!

 

As Len and Bob said, the umpire is influenced by the fact he's wild. A borderline pitch is probably going to be called a ball because the ump knowing how bad his control is. The umps don't give him credit for being able to hit the corners. I dont know if that makes any sense. It sounded better coming from Len.

what in the [expletive] are you talking about?

[CincyCubsFan]

Sveum is clueless. Marmol is a mop up man at this point, nothing more.

[El Duderino]

[Guest]

[Brian]

That was vintage Marmol to Uggla :shock:

[Schwarber Fan]

great Recovery!

[Little Slide Rooter]

That inning was both the worst and the best I've see Marmol this season.

[rawaction]

The one where apparently you don't give the guy your paying $10 million a year to any chances to get himself together.

I can understand that but also I'm listening on the radio and Pat & Keith did not act outraged by any of those calls...not that they can really tell either from the radio booth.

 

Well Marmol got out of it! Hopefully that can be some kind of turning point for him.

[SouthSideRyan]

SVEUM YOU STUPID MEATHEAD!!!

[Guest]

So Marmol walks 2 guys in which he throws 3 total pitches outside the zone, gives up a hard hit out, then K's two guys. I'll take it.

[NotSoSober]

That's more like it :good:

[bcl412]

Maybe that turns his season around. One can hope.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yay, Marmol is fixed!

 

That didn't take as long as I feared.

[Sosa21MVP]

A very Mitch Williams-like inning from Marmol.
