Nobody has suggested he is "tanking on purpose." The frustration is based both on how good he used to be and how he's even shown this very season he can still put together good outings. It would actually be better if he was nothing but terrible because he would have been gone long ago. -
Len went into the whole thing saying "here we go" and just sounded so completely nonplussed when the Mets won it.
-
He got one out, and it was a [expletive] sacrifice. Just end it and get rid of him.
-
Christ, this put me in a bad [expletive] mood.
-
You said it best a few posts above. Put him back in a closing situation with some pressure, and the dude just melts down. But the thing is, there should have been basically no pressure. He MADE the pressure. It's a horrible team, it's the bottom of their lineup; even after the first HR he's still in the driver's seat and he somehow manages to pitch them out of a victory.
-
Yes, that's their diabolical plan. Fantastic detective work.
-
How the [expletive] does he do this against the bottom part of a lineup this wretched? He just managed to string together several good relief appearances, and then comes out with absolutely nothing in maybe the best possible situation for him to actually get a save. How broken is this guy?
-
Hysterical. I could not have been more wrong about not minding Marmol coming in. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck him.
-
WHY THE [expletive] IS HE STILL IN THERE?
-
Unbelievable. It's like clockwork how he just loses it again the second they give him any kind of pressure.
-
Seriously, why not warm up Marmol and someone else at the same time?
-
Byrd's actually been decent this year; he'd already hit 10 this year before that one.
-
Yuuuuuuuuup, get someone up.
-
That said I would still have someone up and ready to go backing him up.
-
Against the bottom of this lineup, who cares? Pretty much; this is actually kind of an ideal situation to see if you can get another good outing from Marmol to see if you can muster even a sliver of trade value.
-
Seriously. It looks amazing. Just for the nachos alone! Who knew you weren't just limited to a pool of tepid nacho cheese sauce and stale jalapenos? BREAK FREE OF THE BUM'S WORLD.
-
ONLY THE CO-, er, Mets.
-
It cannot be said enough how good Len and JD are.
-
Man, the renovation plans for Wrigley are worth it for the expanded food options alone; I'm jealous seeing what they can get in NY.
-
Delightful.
-
Murton probably could have stuck around in a platoon role.
-
By all of MLB?
-
Happens at least once a year it seems. Wonder how much longer it will be before pitcher's will have to wear a helmet, or some kind of less obtrusive protective device. They had a piece on this on BT tonight; apparently MLB has approached two companies about developing protection for pitchers. The prototypes were basically caps with padded kevlar and seem to fit pretty well and didn't really look all that different.
-
Ew.

I'm going on Saturday with my dad for Father's Day. I've been on a Wrigley tour, but that was awhile ago; this doesn't sound very different: tour the guts of the stadium, get to go on the field, apparently play a little catch. Sounds like a fun way to spend the afternoon.
