2012-07-30 Astros (Norris) at Brewers (Estrada), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-7; bullpen bent but didn't break]

[adambr2]

Tying run to the plate...this could be epic...

[jason21nl]

I'm actually hoping for a bomb here.

[pebadger]

Yes, walking guys has been a problem, but honestly, throwing strikes hasn't done the pen a lot of good, either.

[sdcheezhd]

They've faced 4 guys where a walk is worse than a home run walked 2 of them.

I'm actually hoping for a bomb here.

 

I'm kinda with ya. . I'm kinda hoping to see how epically bad this can get.

[crossface21]

DFA Loe before the next pitch.

[adambr2]

Swung at Ball 4....wow...

[adambr2]

You could put "DFA" before just about any reliever in the bullpen and it wouldn't really be a questioned move.

[And That]

They put the save tracker up there, that was the kiss of death.

[adambr2]

This isn't distressing, or bothersome anymore. It's almost like watching a carnival of freaks.

[GormanHarvey]

Clearly Stan Kyles was the issue

[owbc]

Next...

[The stache]

Wow, Loe you are completely worthless.

 

Haha, the pen is going to blow this AGAIN!

[pebadger]

If this happens, the best crowd reaction would be to just start laughing and pointing. Booing isn't sending the right message.

[crossface21]

I've always been on board with RRR and I know that he can't pitch for these guys, but the fact that he called in Loe and he couldn't throw a strike, then Ax is coming in when we have Henderson out there makes no sense to me. Honestly, send Henderson back down if this is how it's going to go. Don't subject him to the suckiness of the others in case it's catchy.

[markedman5]

This one is on Roenicke.....He has been whining about not having anybody to go to out there.....he says he has been impressed with Henderson and yet he is too chicken **** to throw him out there even in a game that doesn't mean anything......utterly ridiculous

[The stache]

Loe is out, who's coming in to blow it now?

[adambr2]

This one is on Roenicke.....He has been whining about not having anybody to go to out there.....he says he has been impressed with Henderson and yet he is too chicken **** to throw him out there even in a game that doesn't mean anything......utterly ridiculous

 

Agreed...the season is over anyway, you're just going to keep trying what isn't working?

"Hi, I'm Jim Henderson. I pitch for a living, and I just got called up. Perhaps you've heard of me, Mr. Roenicke?"

[GormanHarvey]

Henderson can't close! He's not an MLB veteran!

[markedman5]

God that looked like a pop up

[adambr2]

Aww.

[Lee16]

I don't know what you do or how you do it, but don't you almost have to consider making a move tomorrow to just get an average bullpen arm or two in here? You can't go the next 50+ games or whatever is left with this bullpen, you just can't.

[sdcheezhd]

When you walk a guy in the 9th that's not the tying run you need to be gone. Right away. What's Roenicke waiting for? That's worse than the 30 yd FG it's like missing an XP.
