2012-07-04 Marlins (Johnson) at Brewers (Wolf), 3:10 PM CDT

I'm really surprised he was left out there against a HR threat like Morrison, but let's be honest - we don't have a single bullpen pitcher with an ERA under 4.25. He pitched a helluva game and deserved a chance to finish 7.

[AZBrewCrew]

Well that was fun

[markedman5]

At least Wolf can't blame the pen today.

 

Got to believe that yesterdays debacle was a major reason why RRR left him in there. He almost always pulls the starter in that situation.

[dlk9s]

Yeah, it was a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. I think RR's hands were pretty much tied there.

[stoutdude04]

Yea, the fact that the bullpen stinks theyve gassed themselves out.

[nate82]

Well, it was a nice start.

 

That one's on Roenicke.

 

So if Roenicke then makes the switch to someone in the bullpen and then they give up the lead its on Roenicke still right? I would have made the same move as Roenicke did there and not go to the bullpen as it is a mess. It was a 50/50 shot that either Wolf was going to get out of it or the bullpen was going to mess it up again. My bet would be on the bullpen messing it up anyways might as well just go with Wolf in that situation with just about no one in the bullpen you can trust at all.

[Bombers]

Ya I can't totally fault RRR there. It was a lefty lefty matchup, our pen hasn't exactly been lights out and Wolf pitched a good game.

[owbc]

Yeah it was a knee jerk reaction. He looked exhausted though, sweating like crazy.

 

The best the Marlins can counter with is a pitcher with a 5.94 ERA, so this game isn't going to stay 5-5 for long.

[sauveb]

Not real confident that Morgan can get a sac bunt down.

[sauveb]

It took 3 tries but he did manage to get the job done.

[owbc]

First to 10 wins?

[pebadger]

If Corey goes deep here we just might have a ball game.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Sure would have liked a couple more there.

[The stache]

(Ron picks up the phone) "Hey, Dougie. Anybody we have in the minors that can throw strikes? Cause I had to chose between leaving old man Wolf in to try to pitch the seventh, and a bullpen that couldn't stop a grandma with a walker from circling the bases"

[The stache]

First to 10 12 wins?

 

Fixed that for ya.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Huge!!! Atta boy K Rod!!!

[sauveb]

Nice predictive call by BA. That wasn't what my gut was telling me.

[pacopete4]

Send one outta here Rickie!

[razzzorsharp]

Good play by Cesar there.

[stoutdude04]

Good play by Cesar there.

 

It really was not an easy play.

[razzzorsharp]

Axford throwing the heat today. Now he needs the hammer.

[razzzorsharp]

Jeepers man this is brutal. No curve to be found but to he fair, Gaby never did get the bat around on the fastball, late even on his HR.

[bensheeps]

Due to the swear filter, I'll just say "You've got to be kidding"

[stoutdude04]

Sanchez has had a brutal year too and hes able to get on one just enough. This series has been something else...wow.

[sauveb]

UGH.
