The pressure of only having a 5 run lead is clearly too much for Marmol

Marmol might be losing his closer spot if he blows this.

What a fucking idiot. He's getting paid millions of dollars and literally can't throw a strike

Well it can never be easy apparently, but we at least split the series. And who knows maybe Volstad can actually be decent this time out.

Marmol's game logs before today:
Carlos Marmol 2012 Pitching Gamelogs - Baseball-Reference.com
He's actually been better than Heath Bell. He hasn't had a ton of save opportunities though (due to the quirks of the rule).

Guess who else is about to blow a save?
John Axford has a one run lead but has runners at the corners, no outs and a full count to Freese.

Oh wait, he just struck Freese out. Guess he's a grounder away from weaseling out of that one :lol:

Oooh, back to back strikeouts. He's the anti-Marmol at this point.

I guess you just kind of assume he was safe...

It was certainly close. I thought in real time that his leg touched the plate before the tag got down, but it is real hard to make a definitive call from the angles they showed on WGN.
