2012-07-29 Nationals (Gonzalez) at Brewers (Rogers), 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 11-10, 11 innings. Yes, it was the bullpen]

[markedman5]

Does anybody enjoy playing this game more then Gogo?

[pebadger]

Meanwhile in Anaheim, Greinke has 6IP, 5H, 1R, 1ER, K, 1BB and he's gotten a whole 2 hits of support in return. He should feel right at home I think.

Axford at the plate looks like he came straight out of the movie Major League.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Axford batting with a runner in scoring position: indicative of just how far the Brewers bullpen has fallen this year.

Greinke actually got pretty stellar run support in Milwaukee.

 

Now, if the angels go up 4-1 next inning and give up the lead in the 9th......

[trwi7]

That is absolutely hilarious.

[yfinn6]

I wonder if Logan Schafer or Carlos Gomez can pitch.

That would make more sense if Axford wasn't a big part of the problem.

[adambr2]

Even Rock sounds pissed about the bullpen, and he's usually a company man to the tee.

[crossface21]

I don't know how at this point the clubhouse isn't falling apart with position players and the starting rotation against any reliever. How can anyone in that bullpen even show their face in their after games?

[danzig6767]

I've never seen anything like this from a Brewers bullpen, even during the dark days during Bando's tenure. Amazing.

[yfinn6]

Letting Ax bat with a runner in scoring position really paid off for RR there. Easy to cherry pick but a head-scratcher anyway.

As Greinke said, it's a good group of guys.

The crazy thing is that literally every single guy in that bullpen sucks and isn't reliable at all. That's hard to have happen. There isn't one guy in that pen that i'd feel remotely confident in if i was managing this team.

That's how professionals are supposed to act.

[trwi7]

I wouldn't have gotten excited if I was a fan there. Even if that left the park and it would have made it 10-9 in the bottom of the 9th, the bullpen still would have found some way to lose the game.

[adambr2]

Is there even a point to watching a Cezar Izturis at-bat?

[And That]

Jim Henderson for closer.

Henderson and old fart Hernandez are probably our best relief pitchers right now.

[sauveb]

Veras has got them popping up.

I was actually going to so that, too, but for whatever reason I didn't.

[rluzinski]

I think the poition players are trying to win but they are probably more concerned with their personal performances than the outcome of the games at this point.

Yeah, he did. I was speaking more from the "no matter how well I start, something will inevitably go wrong" perspective.
