Wild Card Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 This is not true. He had a decent ERA in spring training but that was pure luck on account of the fact that his WHIP was 1.909. He had a K/9 of 8.6. In other words, spring training did not really show us any signs that Marmol's control has been improved. Sample size is still small in either that case and MLB, but I am not convinced that the Marlins have fixed anything yet. Using him in high leverage roles is idiotic. Did OK tonight...

Michael Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Did OK tonight... ... he went full on every batter. He lucked the fuck out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 ... he went full on every batter. He lucked the f*** out. Didn't he K two batters looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 ... he went full on every batter. He lucked the f*** out. To be fair, no he didn't. He actually looked good tonight. Still, he's tough to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Didn't he K two batters looking? I could K two batters looking, too. It was a lucky inning. Full count on four straight hitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 And ok maybe not all 4 but over 20 pitches for four batters? Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I could K two batters looking, too. It was a lucky inning. Full count on four straight hitters. There's no such thing as a lucky K looking as a pitcher. Like, there never has been and never will be and that makes zero sense. The only exception would be a terrible call by the plate ump, but Marmol earned those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I didn't say lucky K, I said lucky inning. I don't think he looked good out there. Just my personal opinion. 24 pitches to retire 4 batters, that ain't good. Did it work? Yeah. But it ain't good. 18 of those were sliders. Jesus. :lol But anyways, I'm out for the night. Not gonna argue about it, I could just be angry. I'll come back tomorrow and reevaluate things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I will say, though, watching his delivery makes me want to have Tommy John surgery. It's so ugly looking. I felt my UCL tearing just seeing his arm drop so low and violently coming over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Ram Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 He did? Well, that changes everything ! I was thinking this too, but I'm at a loss. Marmol's good now, I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I was thinking this too, but I'm at a loss. Marmol's good now, I guess Does it not occur to the both of you that you did the same thing after the Nats game? Like, literally, after one outing everyone went up in arms... It's one appearance. I'm just doing what you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Nnno, you're doing what you do. What we did is a reaction of basically his entire career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So last night was the one game he's had success in all of history? I can't reference any other time he's had success? You're dense sometimes...

Admin Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I'm saying that pointing one game of success is idiotic and pointless. That was clear in the original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Admin, add a sarcasm font for Wild Card, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 And I was clearly being sarcastic... At least I thought it was clear. Your original post clearly wasn't, because pointing out his success in one game is something that you actually would do. Also, if you were being sarcastic, you would have made that clarification sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
