Am I the only one who thinks a Harden/Marshall combo is a good idea until mr. got to protect his

Except for coming inside on Hermedia...guy's killing inside fastballs right now
but yes, Sean did well otherwise and has been a heck on an asset to the team in any role they’ve asked him to be in. We’re in a tie game, yet again, because of the failings of the offense.

I get the feeling that opposing batters are told to look off close pitches from Marmol
since they move so much and wait for pitches right in the zone. They aren’t flailing like they were earlier in the season.
