Strange But True Pitching Feats For 2010
More from Jayson Stark. Here's what he writes about Carlos Marmol:
• We're still trying to figure out our favorite Strange But True Carlos Marmol feat of the year. Here's one: He piled up more strikeouts in relief (138) this past season than 63 starting pitchers who made at least 20 starts.
• And here's another one: Marmol faced 332 hitters this past season. Only 134 of them figured out a way to have the ball leave the batter's box. Everybody else (all 198 of them) either walked, got hit by a pitch or whiffed. No kidding.

Another good read
Brewers make it again. Bush’s back to back to back HRs given up doesn’t even get a mention.
