JUPITER, Fla. — There is this pesky mini refrigerator in Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol’s office that has presented a problem throughout spring training.
Marmol will be in the middle of his pre- or post-game remarks, and the machine will kick on, making an awful racket.
At times, he has unplugged it. On Saturday, he let it run. The grinding of the machine synced up nicely with the topic, an offense the manager says is ready to make noise.
“I could care less if we get the (preseason) attention for it,” Marmol said. “Other than, when the lights come on, I can’t wait to see it and go toe-to-toe with whoever wants to consider themselves the top in the league in having a strong lineup.
