Unless Lou didn't want him pitching back to back games, it's just retarded. He pulled this same shit all the time last season too.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Lou admitted he screwed up last night, but he made the right decision bringing in Marmol this time.

Marmol should be pretty much used exclusively in close games. For me a 4 run game in the 8th inning doesn't qualify.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That's a pretty close game, it's 1 run from a save situation the following inning and in a hitter's park against a team that has 5 homers tonight. He hadn't pitched in 2 games and we don't play tomorrow.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

And he didn't pitch yesterday. He should have, but he didn't.

Right, he should've been used last night, but since he wasn't, he was used tonight. If Heilman hadn't thrown 2 straight days, he'd have probably been in tonight.
