mathes sucks. he's way too hittable. 10.5 hits/9 IP and just over 6 K per 9 IP. he's an adequate AAA starter but nothing more. iowa apparently likes playing in front of nobody, b/c they won 7-0 in the first game of their doubleheader.
Dude didn't want to clog the bases. yeah but yadier molina throws out fast runners trying to steal... how does fat/slow ryan howard steal a base off him?
Would be hilarious to see Marmol running back in with a Wuertz 43 jersey on and a fake mustache. http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/watchdog/blog/BobbyValentine.jpg
