Any chance Quade will risk using Marmol after he's pitched 3 days in a row?

I thought it was mentioned he was a no go today but maybe he will.

I think his plan was to use Marshall in that spot if needed.

If Pena is well enough to play 1st, use Soto here and put Pena at 1st next innings. Not sure how Colvin is against lefties.

Shortest outing ever?

We lost our lead on walks, so it's sweet revenge to see them coming to haunt 'Zona too. Let's get some more!

Time for Soriano to continue his hot hitting!!!!!!!!!

You know the pitcher is wild when he walks COLVIN on four straight pitches.

Probably because we're really short in the bullpen and no one wants to trust Grabow lol. And he works better counts than Sori apparently lol.

I do not understand at all the decision to let Russell bat in that situation.

mattbulls · Post #174 » by **mattbulls** » Tue Apr 5, 2011 9:07 pm

Russell better have a shut down 8th.

Yeah but I see why he did it. We only have Grabow, Marshall, Wood, and Marmol left and Wood and Marmol have pitched a lot. So you have to save someone just in case.

Yeah it would really help if we stop having these close games. Offense is doing a better job today though for sure.
