    Talent is great, but talent without direction is guaranteed to not be maximized.

    48 walks in 51 innings for Marmol.

    Anyone think the boys will have any patience?

    Funny how the announcers plead for plate discipline now when they regularly poo-poohed it before this season.

    Gomes strikes out on ball 4. Nasty, nasty slider.,...I'll give him a little benefit of the doubt.
