Jason Marquis seems to get a lot of hate on this board, usually in the game thread before the game that he pitches. Now, I know he had as stretch of bad starts earlier in the year, but I think he has picked it back up enough for me not to chalk up every game by him a loss. Why does everyone still hate him? His ERA is 4.50-ish, which is pretty good for a 5th starter. Of course, everyone has bad days, but Marquis has been pretty good as of recently. He had a quality start against the Pirates in that 3-0 loss, and remember when everyone chalked up that Marquis vs. Halliday matchup as a loss? Marquis tossed 6 shutout innings. So basically, I think Marquis is a good number 5 starter who doesn't deserve all the hate he has been getting.
