The Unresolved Bullpen Angst Thread

Speaking of amazing, how about Marmol throwing 7/8 pitches for strikes to retire the side, and then Gregg going 1-2-3.

I had no clue what I was actually watching.  It was like our endgame relievers were...pitching well.

I believe I heard on the post game that Marmol-Gregg going back-to-back 1-2-3 was the first time they had done that all year.

The first of many!

Who am I kidding...

You ain't kidding no one, fool.

First of many?  Damn straight.  Hop on that Marmregg bandwagon now while there's room.

It's not often that I first-guess Lou, but he should've left Marshall in to walk Nix and face the Eurotrash futball player.  As soon as he brought the Ass Can in, I knew it was over.

In fact, I'd rather have Patton, Vizcaino, Samardakljdsa, LaTroy, Mercker, and perhaps Aaron Miles pitching in that spot before the Ass Can.

Lou never should have had to make that decision, because there's absolutely no reason Scott Podsednik should be able to do what he did today.

This.

I'd rather have Gas Can in before most of the bullpen, although I agree Marshall should have stayed in.

I thought you liked Marshall. He had seen action in 7 of the past 8 games. You think he's made of rubber? Jeeziss. 

And in truly awesome Seanbearpig fashion, he'd only thrown about 12 pitches in those 7 appearances.

Only 12? That's amazing.

Oh, Apex.  You're such a stickler.  I did the research, and learned he's thrown 43 pitches in his last 7 appearances, allowing 3 hits and 1 ER in 3 2/3 innings.

THOSE GODDAMN UMPIRES ARE RUINING EVERYTHING

Since his suckiness has to do with part of the bullpen angst...

Harden as a Cub '08 - 5-1, 71 IP, 39 H, 30 BB, 1.78 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 89 K, 6 HR allowed
Harden as a Cub '09 - 5-6, 74 IP, 78 H, 36 BB, 5.47 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 83 K, 16 HR allowed

He's made it through 7+ innings exactly twice this year.

Way to earn those big FA dollars this winter, you dope.

[MAD]

Holy shit he's allowed sixteen home runs already?

Homerun Harden.

The HRs are one thing.  That rate obviously sucks for someone who walks as many as Harden does.  But that hits allowed rate is through the roof.  You can't even really blame an injury since he's been hurt so much in the past and this has never happened.

Can we blame his health?
