Heath Bell is the Most Hated Marlin Since Jorge Julio

[lou]

Lifted for another pitcher who picked up the blown save.

10 games 2 or more ER this year. 40 appearances.

He had 12, 2009-2011. 199 appearances.

Truly spectacular.

You do that every time Bell blows a save and I know exactly why you do it.

I just posted this on facebook: "It's pretty hilarious, at this point. I couldn't imagine actually being mad at him anymore."

To me, how bad he has pitched this year is funny. Because it makes no sense. At some point, you have to laugh at things you can't explain.

. he shouldn't be the closer anymore, he shouldn't be anywhere near a high pressure 9th inning, and when he starts to implode you have to pull him then and there

My thoughts exactly. I find it incredibly mind boggling that this guy is still given the ball in the 9th.

Whoever is ultimately giving the ok to trot him out in the 9th has the thickest skull in baseball.

As bad as Heath sucks and we should hate him, Ozzie is putting him in a position to fail at this point. This is more on him. He needs to stay away from the closer role for a little bit. He seemed to respond well for a little while after he was taken away from the role and then put back in.

Manny Navarro @Manny_Navarro
#Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen furious with Hanley Ramirez for injuring himself. Also said Bell/closer situation must be resolved

At this point, putting him in the game at all is putting him in a position to fail because he just sucks.

You really have to wonder if Beinfest is shoving him down his throat at this point.

I mean, Ozzie isn't the type to take that though. That's why he butted heads with Kenny in Chicago, isn't it?

also you just KNOW Hanley's gonna be out till August with the "finger laceration"

[Swifty]

I'd be interested to hear Ozzie post game. If he's as deferential as before I think it's not Beinfest. If he takes Bell on in his postgame, I'd imagine it's Beinfest/Loria pressure.

[HUGG]

Didn't Ozzie run Adam Dunn out there almost every day last season, almost always hitting in the heart of the order (3-6), while he was posting a .569 ops?

Ozzie is more pissed about Hanley.

he just said that he's better than this, he's got to get better, yada yada yada, but then he said if he can't get the job done they have to find someone who can

Ozzie is more pissed about Hanley.

What did Hanley do?

[emkayseven]

punched the fan in the dugout after his shitty at bat and cut his finger
