That's another day that the bullpen steps up mightily. Tuesday, they picked up the slack from Josh going down early to hold the ship and at least give the team a chance to win. Last week on the 29th, the surrendered only one run in 8+ innings of work to allow the offense to come back. Tonight, the pen (combined with AJ) threw 28 perfect outs to close out the game between Mecir, House of Pain, Jones (being used in a non-save role!), and De Los Santos.

 

Mota's on fire and the rest of the pen is following his lead.

it's really really relieving to see mota kicking ass again.

yuppers...bullpen held tonight. Starting pitching has sucked as of late.

The pen was...fascinating...28 outs in a row..

The Pen pitched great tonight. It finally looks like Mota is back.

Hell yeah!

Mota, Mecir and Jones.. the 3 guys I trust in the pen. VDLS continues to be a very pleasant surprise.

Good to see the Pen getting it done.

I'm glad Mota is back!!! He is pitching lights out now!! And how about De Los Santos!!!!

I'm so proudly confident of Jones, Mota, Mecir, and De Los Santos...I'm so happy to say that...

 

and Nate Bump, the other day he came into the game and I realized something...I didnt start cursing at the screen...he's not lights out...but he's maturing and he's becoming more and more reliable with each outing...I'm proud of him...

Our bullpen pitched a perfect game.

Yep, it was pretty unbelivable to hear it (as opposed to seeing it) tonight. Now let's see some consistency out of them the rest of the season!

28 straight outs by the pen, that is off the charts. great contrast to burnett's outing with flashy numbers but so many walks and runs.

What a game.

Awesome job. Mota is showing shades of dominance.

I give props to the pen ... but I must say that the brew crew were mediocre with their bats to say the least.

 

unfortunatly our offense was even worse, since we couldn't score a freaking run

 

we won ... im happy

To the pen! *cheers*
