Marmol's stuff has been vintage since he came back from the DL

Cubs win the series!

 

Next year, the BP Cup will be ours. It will make a fine urinal.

[Magnetic Curses]

he didn't choke. and the white sox wasted 120+ pitches of peavy, awesome.

Ugh, this needs to be fixed. That's a crime given how good the original was.

Tomorrows pitching matchup is Randy Wells vs. Not Randy Wells, so I'm not liking our chances.

When I made it, I messed up the color of Sveum... I think it will look pretty good otherwise if someone just lowers the brightness on that portion. I did that with paint, lol

[dfnowak]

Yikes! Peavy with 125 pitches tonight! How long until he's the next Sox starting pitcher on the DL?

[Ballgame64]

So will Sveum go with this line up one more time tomorrow or will Soto need a day off to rest the knee?

[haubrich91]

Besides the walks, Travis Wood pitched a good game. He's done a nice job, considering how poorly he was at Iowa.

You could also say that tomorrow's pitching matchup is Randy Wells vs. Not Chris Sale or Jake Peavy, so I like our chances.

These are opponents' numbers against Gavin Floyd over the past 4 weeks (100 PA): .344/.400/.689/1.089. That's good for an 8.27 ERA, 1.79 WHIP.

This was just the second time this year the Cubs won while scoring fewer than 3 runs.

They like to work 'em.

Wouldn't be the case if Marmol could figure how to pitch like he did tonight on a consistent basis.

With Randy Wells, it doesn't make much of a difference if he's up against Chris Sale, Jake Peavy, or Crappy McJunkball.

I like the one that posted a few weeks back with Dusty leaning against the side of the truck.

That sure didn't look like vintage Marmol stuff last night.

The control wasn't there, but the stuff sure was. He's had several outings since his return where his fastball average velocity was higher than any point since 2010, and while I don't have the graphs in front of me, his slider sure looks sharper. He's not "fixed" or anything like that, but it's very encouraging to see that he still has the tools in the toolbox.

I don't think anybody was hitting sharp balls down the line against vintage Marmol like what happened last night.

Sharp balls down the line is an interesting interpretation of rolling Ramirez over into a routine groundout, so agree to disagree I guess.

I'm just saying that didn't look like what happened with vintage Marmol, and that calling what he did vintage is a bit of a stretch. He was decent Marmol, as opposed to wildly erratic Marmol. But vintage Marmol was on a whole other planet.

He's somewhere in between awful and vintage, but the knee buckling slider he threw for the K to the 1st batter was about as close to vintage as I think he's going to get.
