5/5/2011 Marlins Vs A Future Teammate: Revenge of the JJ

[MiamiHomer]

Berkman was aggressive...what else could have Dunn done.

[AdamRavs]

Bound to get burned at some point.. JJ at the very least should of been pulled after Rasmus.. oh well series split

Considering JJ's better than every pitcher in our bullpen and the last two hits he allowed were garbage, I would say no.

And if he pulled JJ before that and the bullpen gave up the runs people would say he should left JJ in. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Shit happens... they are also the highest scoring team in the NL, they can hit. A split isn't the end of the world.

IMO, Johnson should have faced Theriot...then Choate should have been used to get Rasmus...followed by Hensley/Webb to pitch to Pujols/Holliday...and if necessary Dunn to face Berkman...leaving Nunez, Sanches, Mujica, non-Webb/Hensley for the 9th and beyond if necessary.

I believe Edwin was quoted by the idiots as saying "The entire bullpen is available today."
Though he did not act like it.

On second thought, JJ should have pitched till a runner got on...then we should have had Choate and Hensley/Webb ready.

This.

[Ramp]

100 pitches for JJ, and he just struck out the side in the 7th. In no world should he have been yanked at tha poit.

That makes sense too, but it's not as if it's the wrong decision to leave the best pitcher in the game in when he's still pitching well.

[MiamiHomer]

It was also the bottom third of the order Ramp. JJ struggled through out the game against that middle of the order. It was a similar situation with Vazquez yesterday, he got burned by cheap hits but everyone agreed he should have been out before the inning began anyways.

[Bobbob1313]

Also, Berkman's a far worse hitter from the right side of the plate; Dunn just made a bad pitch, and it happens.

I don't really have any problem with Edwin's managin there, it just didn't work out.
--------------------
"everyone agreed" when like half the people posting did not agree?

[FishFF]

best outta 3

[Mainge]

In a world where he had labored most of the day and struggled with control, and has been a bit a of an injury risk over the last few years, I can understand an argument to pull him.

[MiamiHomer]

In yesterday's game? I'm pretty sure the general consensus was they wanted the bullpen when Edwin sent him out trying to get an extra inning yesterday.

Sure. It's a 50-50 thing, in my opinion.

But I'm not gonna kill Edwin for it, because I can absolutely see why you'd want him in.

Yes, but you drew a parallel between today's game and yesterday's right?

He's still one of the best in the game. He was still making good pitches. Just shitty luck. It happens.

Edwin didn't really do anything wrong there.

It's not wrong to bring in Choate to face Rasmus, etc., but this is a silly one to question.
