I don't know why Marmol

was in the game in that situation. If you’re a closer, then close. At home in the ninth, I understand putting him in, but not on the road.

I thought that maybe he should've come in last night

But that’s b/c the pen was depleted. Grabow, Marshall, Gorzo, and others all had a day off after pitching Wed. and Thurs.

lead the league in walkoff defeats. Is that right?

Sounds good to me

Let’s run with it.

The only upside is I didn't see them.

I was working on trying to fix a problem with my daughter’s Mac Mini. Missed most of the second half.

So I got that going for me. Which is nice.
