Notes: Spoke a lot with Mark Montgomery and Jeff Farnham about Montgomery's maturation this year and just how dominant he's been. That'll be the lead of my sidebar in tomorrow's Trentonian. ... Also spoke with Tony Franklin about the possibility that Brett Marshall's season is over. He'd only pitch if there's a fifth game, and that's not certain yet. If it gets that far, it sounds like the Thunder are leaning toward starting Zach Nuding, who hasn't pitched with the Thunder yet and hasn't pitched at all since Aug. 31. ... Franklin also said he hasn't considered whether he's coming back for a seventh season at the helm.
