Marlins Lose 3-2 As Heath Bell Blows His Third Save of the Season

[Omar]

I wonder how much Stanton's knee (I think) is bother him. Perhaps a trip to the DL will be worth it.

It's not like him being bad at defense is new or anything.

I guess it could be bothering him at the plate

[MiamiHomer]

I'm kind of hoping Ozzie shits all over everyone today.

[TheMendozaLine]

Relax, folks. This is all scripted. Showtime's ratings >>> everything else

[Ramp]

1. Get on base
2. Score runs
3. Win games
4. Profit

I think this plan will work

[MiamiHomer]

Reyes/Boni/Hanley being 4 for 50 something or whatever it is is during the road trip probably the most frustrating stat I've seen in some time. Hanley goes 0-20 on the road trip with like 12 strike outs.

[Swifty]

Fantastic. Blowing $27m on shit Brian Sanchez and Doug Wachter can do.

Considering your stance last night, this is all kinds of fun.

[Erick]

disagree about the money, he ain't being demoted because of his $$$ but because it's still early

he blows a few more saves, he'll be demoted to 7th or 8th inning guy until he gets his shit together

it's not like they'll cut him

The amount of money given to him gives him a longer leash, though.

If he was just a reliever making league minimum, he probably would've lost the job already after today.

Stop this shit.

I mean, Jorge Julio cost us Petit (who was still kinda-sorta a good prospect) and he got 10 games before getting sent out.

I'd image Bell at least gets a month before being taken out of the closer's role. Is he pitching well right now, no. But we knew we were getting a guy with a so-so fastball and not a whole lot of movement.

[MiamiHomer]

lol you neg me because I call you out for that snide comment towards Mainge, who I'm pretty sure was against Bell getting that deal as well.

[Mainge]

ehe

For a lawyer, you sure are terrible at reading comprehension. Pretty awesome that you think I'm pro Beinfest

[Swifty]

Also, look, Bell "lost" the game in the sense that it was ultimately him that had the final say in the matter, but you can't scrape together two runs and expect to get a W. Lots of blame for this one.

Bell, Reyes, Bucknor, Hanley, Stanton. That's a lot to fix, except CB, we know he's bad.

[Beef]

Yeah, Mainge never wanted to spend $27M on a closer. Perhaps he just doesn't feel it is necessary to call for a guy's job anytime he does anything that doesn't work out.

[Madman81]

Yeah, once more, for the record, fuck CB Bucknor. He's consistently the worst umpire in baseball yet every year he's back again. I'm sure it has nothing to do with race.

Yeah, Bell totally always sucked like this.

Mentioning Yusmeiro Petit is just grasping at straws now.
