doubt it. both Marmol and Wood threw an inning in the three previous games so they were getting some rest today.Originally posted by swampdragon View PostIn the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

No, Marmol pitched 3 days in a row, and Quade said before the game that there was a better chance that he (Quade) would pitch today than Marmol.Originally posted by swampdragon View Post"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Not sure if there is anything to this, but Joel Peralta has either warmed up in the 9th or pitched the 9th in every game this year. They've all been low-leverage situations since the Rays have been down in all of them, but he's the only guy to work exclusively in the 9th.Comment

Sean Marshall has some really nice skills. He could be worth a stab even with little hope of SV; ERA and Ratio count, too. Sometimes 'draft skills, not roles' pays longterm dividends..finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

He's got as long a leash as anyone in baseball not maned Mariano. LaRussa is very loyal to his guys...Originally posted by Msaint View Post"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Sale with the save for the White Sox. It wasn't clean, as he gave up a solo shot to Felipe Lopez, so read into it? Any reason to think Thorton is getting the next save op?Comment

Thornton threw a bunch of pitches last night, so he was unavailable today regardless. I think it's too early to say that they are changing course in the White Sox bullpen, but it might happen anyway.18 team mixed 4x4 draft league. Champion in 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010.Comment
