Lou's reasoning for keeping Marmol in: He has tremendous success against right handers. Yay, use numbers from April and May! -
Looks like we're down to 5 available players to play in the All Star game.

Get well soon Marmol. This should be Lou's best post game press conference of the year.
-
A bunt down the 3B line too
-
With Reed and Theriot, that's asking to have this turned into a scoreless inning... I'm pretty sure the Reed has the best average with RISP, if I saw one of Fred's stats correctly. Don't want him up vs. Righties ever though
-
BUNTING IN THIS SITUATION WAS DUMBBBBBB
-
Oh no Ted Lilly in the pen...
-
Yep, but my Dusty dice says to go with Cain or Lincecum. This is a big game. Dude. I'd love for Lincecum to come in here and pitch 2-3 innings with the Cubs finally winning in the 14th or so :)
-
Why is DeRosa bunting? I hate my life
-
So am I reading this right...the Giants only have 1 bullpen arm left in the game? Alex Hinshaw
-
I guess....Marshall was warmed up for the last half of the inning but Lou didn't make the switch. It was really bizarre. I would say Lou had a deer in headlights look, but he came to the mound twice that inning ...the second time with the trainer to see if he was ok to continue. Really really bizarre.

When I watch Molina run, I feel like I'm watching my Dad's Over 40 baseball league.
-
Blah, 4-5-6 due up for the Giants.
-
How many pitches did Wilson throw that inning? Hopefully he's not good for another
-
C'mon....first MLB walkoff Soto?
-
C'mon Soto
-
Yeah what happened Marmol, you used to own 5+ run lead situations. That was your role!
-
There's only 1 out....? I think he will surely be INT walked after what happened yesterday if 1st is open.
-
Gas
-
Looks like ARam won't get a shot this inning unless Lee reaches and Theriot doesn't score
-
He leads the NL in saves if only because the Giants offense is so bad that any game they actually have a chance to win is usually a < 3 run game
-
I blame Marmol. I blame lou for not taking marmol out. i don't blame theriot. He was desparate, and he saw that marmol was sucking. It was not a good decision, but I understand it. It was a terrible decision. He was on his back and a runner was on third base. If he botched that throw, the runner could score easily from third. I don't understand it at all. Yeah that was an awful decision. Even if he some how made a perfect throw, one that has maybe a 5% chance of being perfect, I'm not sure if he gets the out in time anyways. He's trying to save his team from Lou. I don't blame him for trying something desperate. It was desperation time. If he holds on to the ball Marmol gives it up anyway in all likelihood. That was probably our only chance to win the damn game. I don't crucify players for trying to win. I do crucify managers for putting the other team at an advantage they shouldn't have. No I applaud his desire to do something heroic, but it was a horrible decision to throw the ball on your back away from your body when its probably not going to get there in time anyways. Theriot can't assume that Marmol is going to blow the game with the next batter, he can only worry about the decision that makes the most sense and creates the highest probability of winning.
-
Maybe Ascanio really is the next Marmol. He was just ahead of the game with the modern sucking version of Marmol.
-
Good thing Marmol imploded in late June/early July instead of August or September when Hendry can't do as much about it.
