Posted May 18, 200519 yr are absolutely PATHETIC. How these guys collect MLB paychecks is totally beyond my comprehension. It's like every single time they come in, you can almost guarantee that at least 1 run is gonna be surrendered. I would wager that those two guys together couldn't be traded for a shower curtain.
May 18, 200519 yr o great I hate these threads where all we do is whine and say our players suck.. If you can do a better job then get out there!
May 18, 200519 yr We can add Travis Smith to the list maybe then we can get a small shower curtain. Please i beg you do not try to convince me that Bump, Perisho, or any of these HORRIBLE HORRIBLE RP are worth jack. They suck they just really do....
May 18, 200519 yr Plus the Dodgers are hot tonight. Especially C. Izturis SS 4-4 he is killing. We need to cool him down.
May 18, 200519 yr Author I wouldn't exactly say 2.12 in 17 IP is sparkling. And after the 18th inning, it's gonna jump quite a bit. Â And I don't talk bad about very man players on the Marlins, but these two are brutal. You don't see me bad mouthing Lowell or Leiter do you? Those guys are proven quality players. Bump and Perisho are proven wastes of roster spots.
May 18, 200519 yr I wouldn't exactly say 2.12 in 17 IP is sparkling. 776224[/snapback] Well that line right there invalidates everything else you said. How is that not a great E.R.A?
May 18, 200519 yr Jim Crowell?????? Who the hell is Jim F'in Crowell. LMAO HE JUST BEEMED THE FIRST HITTER HE FACED. I'd rather have my grandfather up there pitcher and he has no arms. :banghead
May 18, 200519 yr Author Oh I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said after the 18th inning, because after tonight it'll only be 17.1 IP. Now his ERA is 3.63.
May 18, 200519 yr What i f***ing hate is that Jack loves putting in these AAA'ers when were down by a couple run, once they come in... it becomes several runs, Smith, Crowell. ARG thats the only thing that irritates me. and BTW bump has been pitching completely out of his normal self, which means he's been pitching great, wont last though.
May 18, 200519 yr Bump's been pitching great all year, and he will continue to be a solid member of our bullpen throughout the rest of this year. The groundballs just found holes today, where they hadn't the rest of this season. That's just bad luck, nothing anybody can do about that.
May 18, 200519 yr Oh I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said after the 18th inning, because after tonight it'll only be 17.1 IP. Now his ERA is 3.63. 776244[/snapback]Â Which is still a fantastic ERA unless you're a closer.
May 18, 200519 yr He was pitching good prior to today's game. It's time for some of us here to grow up and not make a whole big fuss about one game. Willis gave up 4 runs, shell him instead if you're going to shell anyone.
May 18, 200519 yr How did Perisho end up in your topic? He wasn't in the game yet. 776277[/snapback] I guess his argument is that Perisho has been bad in the past and now Bump is also a veeeeeerrrryyy bad pitcher because he had an off day today. Which isn't a good arguemet...
May 18, 200519 yr Willis gave up 4 runs, shell him instead if you're going to shell anyone We dont need to get on to Willis where was our offense tonight.  After seven wins you are entitled to one or two bad games.

May 18, 200519 yr When you need 8 it is! 776339[/snapback] Well when you get 5 or more runs in a game you don't say "Where is our offense"

May 18, 200519 yr WHY THE F**K IS JIM CROWELL STILL IN THE GAME? This is EXACTLY like what happened the other night against the Padres with Jim Mecir, Jack has NO IDEA how to manage a bullpen and if this is an "old school" way of managing by letting relievers stay in a game when they should obviously be pulled, well f*** the old school style, it sucks. We had a chance to come back, but Jack just leaves Crowell in there to make an already bad situation even worse when it was so obvious he should have been pulled.

May 18, 200519 yr At least Lowell got a double and Rbi that is a nice touch to the Loss. If you can call it a nice touch still good to see him get an extra base hit.

I love seeing those gappers. The way Willis calmed down after giving up 4 quick runs was also very good.
