CARLOS MARMOL RUMORS

Cubs' Marmol comes off DL; Dolis demoted to minors

The Chicago Cubs activated reliever Carlos Marmol before Monday’s game against the San Diego Padres and sent reliever Rafael Dolis to the minor leagues. The move came one day after Dolis was moved out of the closer’s role, the Chicago Tribune reported. He had struggled in his last two outings. Dolis hit a batter with the bases loaded Saturday and followed that outing by giving...

What’s wrong with Carlos Marmol?

Between 2007 and 2011, Carlos Marmol threw 382.1 innings and allowed a ridiculously low 218 hits. He allowed only 21 home runs and struckout 540 batters. That's the good Marmol. During those same years Marmol threw 23 wild pitches, hit 39 batters and walked 241 of them. Despite a high walk rate, he still managed [...]

Cubs place P Carlos Marmol on DL

The Chicago Cubs placed right-hander Carlos Marmol on the 15-day disabled list because of an injured hamstring. The Cubs made the move Saturday and called up righty Casey Coleman from Triple-A Iowa. Marmol was hurt Friday night while pitching during the seventh inning in a game against Milwaukee. He returned to Chicago to have an MRI, which revealed the injury. Marmol is 0-1 with...

Cubs' Marmol removed with strained hamstring

Chicago Cubs reliever Carlos Marmol left the game against the Milwaukee Brewers with two outs in the seventh inning Friday night with a strained right hamstring. Marmol, who lost his job as the Cubs' closer last week, had given up a run on a hit and a walk in two-thirds of an inning. He had a 1-2 count on Corey Hart when catcher Wellington Castillo visited the mound and summoned...

Carlos Marmol will be back as closer. Just you wait.

Cubs Manager Dale Sveum made an interesting comment the other day, saying basically that Carlos Marmol is not guaranteed to return to the closer role. Well, I think he is. In fact, I believe he'll be back in the role by June (at least, if the Cubs know what's good for them). Bottom line is that the Cubs need to trade Marmol and they cannot do that when his value is...

It’s Official: Carlos Marmol Needs To Relieved Of Closer Duties

Carlos Marmol was downright bad today. When I mean bad? I mean throw up in your mouth bad. Marmol came in to protect a 3-0 masterpiece by Ryan Dempster. Marmol decided to walk the first 2 guys he saw. Figures. Ian Steward then made an error which scored a run. Jay Bruce singled, and Ryan Ludwick walked in the 2nd run. Marmol was then replaced by Rafael Dolis who got a tie game scoring...

Cubs stumbling out of the gate

For Cub fans, the Theo era has begun.  In their first ten games, they have managed to go 3-7.  With a team payroll which still ranks in the top ten of MLB, one might say they are certainly the opposite of Moneyball.  While those who follow the team closely will tell you that Kerry Wood and Carlos Marmol blew the first two games of the year melting down in late innings, even had...

Should we be concerned about Carlos Marmol?

Let's face it, Carlos Marmol is having a tough Spring. In 5.1 IP, he has allowed 7 hits, 4 walks, 3 hit batters and 7 earned runs. Sounds more like a pitching line from Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh that that of the Cubs closer. To add injury to insult, Marmol was removed from yesterday's outing due to cramping in his hand. Marmol was sent for a precautionary...
