Am I the only one who thinks a Harden/Marshall combo is a good idea until mr. got to protect his
pitch count can go 7 again ?

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.

Well...I think I have a much, much stronger case:
1 – Official website doesn’t have “u” in it:
2 – Or, try typing “ND” vs “UND” into Google – Notre Dame vs University of North Dakota.
3 – I think most all higher education institutions have “college” or “university” in its prefix or suffix.
4 – 
I fail to see the “u” in this official logo.

That's more athletics. You don't see the "U" in "USC"

What I think you’re failing to realize is that EVERY accredited university will formally have “college” or “university” to it’s name.
It’s University of Notre Dame, not just Notre Dame. This isn’t a hard concept to grasp.
