September 17, 200521 yr Here's a good stat for you: If you take Todd Jones out of the equation, the Marlins bullpen has allowed 32 runs in their past 26 innings. :plain 949339[/snapback] Broken down player by player.

Villone should be used ONLY as a situational lefty. The other guys (other than Mecir the past two nights) have had way too much rest. We need to go to a 4 man rotation and use Valdez and Moehler out of the pen in long relief. The bullpen as presently being used will not take us to the post-season.
September 17, 200521 yr Did we really hvae to use 4 guys to get 3 outs in the 6th? This is another side effect of the huge pen. Jack (or any manager) is going out of his way to play matchups (which may not be a good thing), pulling pitchers quickly (hurting each pitcher's confidence) and just getting our pitchers work (even if they may not be ready or necessary). edit: this post brought to you from Woodchunk Cider Draft which tastes much better at the bar. 949183[/snapback] Dickens is much better than Woodchunk.

Game was tied and Mecir couldn't throw a strike to safe his life. Villone was the right call to face the lefty and Bell is crushing left handed hitting. I was OK with the decision. Is not Jack's fault that this guys imploded tonight allowing 11 runs
