Brenden Schaeffer dives into the process for Oli Marmol as he attempted to navigate several landmines in the Cardinals' loss to the Astros on Monday, June 3, 2024.

In Ep. 580 of B-Schaeff Daily, we examine the various turning points of the game as the snowball began matriculating down the hill at full speed on a potential troublesome night for the bullpen when Kyle Gibson was unable to work his way through the sixth inning. From that moment on, Oli Marmol had game-changing decisions on his plate.

Most of them worked out, but when JoJo Romero gave up the lead in the eighth, we are forced to reckon with whether he was the best option for that point in the game--and even if he was, how earlier events ultimately caused a depreciation to his effectiveness in that spot. Plenty of fascinating matchup data and decision-making to discuss!
