The short answer to the question is: It's complicated. There was a brief dip in the velocity of the set-up man's fastball, but it returned to form after a good amount of rest from Lou Piniella. THT says the root of Marmol's struggles are two-fold. On one hand, he's struggling with control. On the other, he doesn't have the same horizontal movement on his fastball as he did at the beginning of the year, which is what made him nearly unhittable earlier in the season. Alarmingly for Cubs fans, this could very well be a product of fatigue.
