6/1 Arizona (Kennedy) @ Cubs (Samardzija) 6:15pm CDT, FOX TV

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

lol, Marmol.

[Schwarber Fan]

GET HIM OFF THE [expletive] MOUND

[Irrelevant Dude]

That really has to be the end of Marmol as a Cub.

 

He will never regain any trade value and there is no reason to keep him for any other reason. They might as well play waiver roulette with his roster spot for the rest of the year.

[Tryptamine]

I would really love to hear the reasoning for Marmol still being on this squad. His salary is a sunk cost. You're not even going to get a lottery ticket for him. All he does is take up a 40 man roster spot and irritate the [expletive] out of me.

[Fred Hornkohl]

The Diamondbacks' first 4 batters are a combined 5 for 14 (.357) with 6 BBs, 6 runs scored, and 5 RBIs.

Someone's going to argue at some point that before tonight, Marmol was on some sort of arbitrary endpoint streak of adequacy or something. Do not listen to this person.

[MWV]

[expletive] off, dale

While I also have issues with bullpen management in this game, I think it should be pointed out that Sveum was tossed in the 2nd inning.

They'll pull the same crap and use him in lower leverage spots and he'll be tolerable for a couple weeks and then he'll implode yet again when they inexplicably use him in a critical spot.

[Schwarber Fan]

PBP guy is about as good as judging fly ball depth as Chris Berman.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Sorry Bob, Marmol no longer has plus plus stuff, even on his best day.

we know this

 

we believe dale is still calling the shots because he has a history of pretending marmol isn't instant runs for the other team and bringing him into winnable games

He's still calling the shots undoubtedly.

Managers can still manage the team very easily after being tossed, and the bullpen management tonight has been textbook Sweum.

Before today, Marmol had a sub-2 ERA since the first week of the season.

He's failed almost every time he's been used in a high pressure spot. That's all one needs to know.

Do you seriously not know who Brenly is?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS allowed 8 BBs in a game.... Sat 04 May 2013 (8 BBs) in a 6-4 loss to Cincinnati at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

i no longer am on the dale sveum bandwagon... at least not for as long as marmol is on the team.

 

 

it sucks because he doesn't do a lot of the other dumb [expletive] that i really hate that most managers do.

Camp, too. I love so much about him as manager, but his loyalty to awful relief pitchers is maddening.

Sorry.

 

Long night with the Hawks starting at 4pm.

[Sammy Sofa]

They're still gonna win this.

Yeah, I'm not with you here. Arbitrary endpoints. Anything he has done well has been smoke and mirrors.
