"What I see with Marquis at times is he starts getting hit a little bit and he wants to throw harder," Piniella said. "That's one thing he needs to work on. It's OK if he can throw the ball 97 or 96 [m.p.h.]. … He's got a nice arm, but you've got to figure out a way to get your second and third pitches over and soften 'em up.".

Me to Piniella: Are you new?


Seriously, how do people not know this about Jason already? It's been talked about and discussed over and over and over, yet Piniella acts like this is a revelation about the mysteries that are Jason Marquis.

Oooh, turnabout's fair play! I ended up catching an inordinate amount of Marquis starts last year.
i caught a marquis start last year and i loved it, since he was on the cardinals and the cubs won
