Marmol absolutely needs to stop starting him against righties. It allows teams to just not throw a lefty at him in relief. Whereas if they just sit him against any righty starter, the second a lefty comes into the game, with the amount of versatile parts this team has defensively, you can almost always find a way to get him in and get him a swing against a lefty middle reliever.
Ollie's just...being Ollie. Because he's an idiot.

We have a really really easy schedule though. Pujols could easily hit another 6 against garbage pitching.
Once the playoffs start that’s a different animal. Lefties only.
I think Marmol has done fine. Granted I’m willing to admit the gap between him and a Schildt isn’t a large gap. They are pretty much the same but he seems to be more consistent. Doesn’t seem like the team has had as many dead spots this season.
Maybe I’m still pissed about Reyes in the playoffs last year. Might be recency bias as well.
