April 12, 201412 yr I hope so. God does losing piss me off, more than anything. looks like the reset button doesn't work
April 13, 201412 yr 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...
April 13, 201412 yr ... he went full on every batter. He lucked the f*** out. Didn't he K two batters looking?
April 13, 201412 yr ... 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.
April 13, 201412 yr 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.
April 13, 201412 yr To be fair, no he didn't. He actually looked good tonight. Still, he's tough to watch. Eriiiiiick, you're not supposed to agree with the enemy!
April 13, 201412 yr 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.
April 13, 201412 yr 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.

But it ain't good. 18 of those were sliders. Jesus. :lol Slider is his go to pitch, usually more so than the fastball. Always has been, and should be since it's disgusting.
April 13, 201412 yr 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.
April 13, 201412 yr He did? Well, that changes everything ! I was thinking this too, but I'm at a loss. Marmol's good now, I guess
April 13, 201412 yr 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.
April 13, 201412 yr Nnno, you're doing what you do. What we did is a reaction of basically his entire career.
April 13, 201412 yr 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. You have it backwards. I was referring back to his history whereas you were referring to one game.
April 13, 201412 yr You have it backwards. I was referring back to his history whereas you were referring to one game. 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...
April 13, 201412 yr I'm saying that pointing one game of success is idiotic and pointless. That was clear in the original post.
April 13, 201412 yr I'm saying that pointing one game of success is idiotic and pointless. That was clear in the original post. And I was clearly being sarcastic... At least I thought it was clear.
April 13, 201412 yr 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.
