Another interesting thing is that

the A’s went with their two shakiest short relievers when they could have put E-Gonzalez in and hoped he had a good day — if so, he can give you 3 innings to get to Bailey et al. But I think Geren’s reluctant to do that in case he needs Gonzalez in long relief tomorrow — which is exactly why you need to have two longer relievers on this team.

Didn't we have two long relievers in the past.....a lfety and a righty?

I'd rather hope to get 3-4 good innings out of Gonzalez

than hope that Marshall (against several righties) and Casilla and a couple others can all pitch well.

I sincerely hope that Casilla and Marshall

are not on the ML roster next year.

Marshall throws the same garbage as last time he was here.

With all due respect to those who have stats on people like him. Just looking at him throw is enough to form an opinion that he sucks and never has and never will get RHB’s out. I cannot believe management does not know this because any person who watches baseball knows he sucks.

Go get em tomorrow when Chad Gaudin (who sucks worse than most) pitches against Anderson.

You're right, unfortunately

Marshall might be an ok LOOGY but then he needs to be used that way.

I think they're pitchers who can be effective but not good enough to be reliable

That doesn’t mean they suck, have always sucked, always will suck and should not be in the league.

And while he’s not Mexican enough, he’s otherwise ok.

great movie,

brilliantly shot and his acting is pretty good. But I’m still at odds why they even had to play it off like he was Mexican. Just make him a white guy.

But wait, I guess they do say his mom was white and his dad was Mexican, right? Maybe I’m reaching here…
