As Bob mentioned last night, if the Cubs were bottom feeders or several games in first place, Marmol should be sent down to work on his control. I agree Rok, Marmol's consistency worries me, but my good ness, when he's on, jeez. I really don't think you can have too much bullpen help, especially if you're overworked during a long road trip and basically fade out, then don't come back 100%, which could easily happen during this stretch.
Bob's best quote was eluding to "why in the world would anyone even swing at Marmol's pitches right now? Nobody can hit him when they DO swing, but his control has been suspect, thus swinging is stupid. You could tell he was pissed.
