[QUOTE="wpr, post: 1773672, member: 4159"] The loss can be charged to Marmol. Hudson struggled all game long. I realize he had only thrown 85 pitches through 6 innings but he was always pitching with runners on base. 4 runs in 6 innings is not a quality start. Without 4 double plays it could have easily been 6 or 7 runs in 6 innings. What makes the situation even worse is Marmol didn't even have anyone warming up. If he wanted Hudson to start the inning he should have had someone ready to go if someone reached base. It seems as if Marmol would rather be their friend instead of the manager. 10 runners reached base in 6 innings. 5 actually because Dakota finally had a 1-2-3 inning in the 6th. It has been shown many times where the batter gets the advantage when he is facing a pitcher for the 3rd time. By the time they got the 7th inning it was definitely the third time through the lineup. I also realize managers try to not overwork the BP. I'm sorry that is a tired excuse. This is 2022 not 1960. SP rarely go beyond 6 innings anymore. If you don't trust the 7 or 8 guys in the BP to protect a lead then you need to replace them with someone else. In reality most teams are not going to have 7 guys they can trust. But they should have 4 or 5 if they expect to have any kind of success in the playoffs. [/QUOTE]
