Another meltdown for Marmol

May 5, 2013

Chicago Cubs – Carlos Marmol was summoned for the 8th inning with the Cubs up 2.  He proceeded to walk 2 batters and hit another before being pulled without recording an out.  All three runners ended up scoring and Marmol was charged with the loss.  Dale Sveum may have finally lost all confidence in Marmol.   It’s hard to imagine the Cubs using Marmol in any meaningful situations moving forward.  Hierarchy change: James Russell to Set-up, Shawn Camp to 2nd in line.
