Harden Shut Down? - rok - 09-28-2009

I'm curious about the "overworking the 'pen" thing though. I've always thought many of those bullpen guys would benefit from <i>more</i> work.
Plus, why not just consider our #5 pitcher to be Harden/Marshall, and just go <i>in</i> to the game knowing that one guy will give you 5 innings, and the other guy will give you three or four? Marshall has only pitched 84 innings this year; he's capable of at least <i>double</i> that.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
When you've had as many injuries as we've had to our innings eaters like Z, Lilly and Demp, and considering that our pen was already mediocre to begin with, having a Harden on your staff struggling to pitch 5 innings is a big concern, at least in my opinion. Our #5 became our #2 for a large portion of the season as a result.
Also, Marshall blows.

This is where I'd expect Clappie to chime in with some pro-Marshall talk.
Whatever happened to Matt Clapp?
Has he quit the site?

Computer problems, I believe.

I think he moved recently and doesn't have Internet access yet. That's what I've gathered from his Facebook updates.

Good to hear. He's a huge part of this site.
However, what weird section of the Earth did he move to where they don't have internet access? Is he pulling a Ted Kacsinski after the Cubs' inglorious fall?
