August 3, 200818 yr Author Why isn't this in the post-game thread? Because it's a specific question, that boggles my mind. :|
August 3, 200818 yr most likely was looking ahead into the 9th inning, he used 4 pitchers in a total of 2 innings and probably thought that he didn't want to have to use his hitters to pitch, but either way it was a bad decision
August 3, 200818 yr We already have a post game thread where this issue was questioned as well as a thread questioning the management of Fredi Gonzalez during today's game. Seems very superfluous and spamful.

Seems very superfluous and spamful. Well, I'm not really questioning Fredi. I'm more wondering if Gregg got hurt while he was warming up, or something. He's usually in there in those situations...as most closers are.
August 3, 200818 yr Im not sure why, but i think its because he wanted to keep him in case we went into extra innings. and to me thats a good move, but i would have liked to put in lindstrom instead of keeping nelson in the game.
August 4, 200818 yr Freddy thinks Joe Nelson is the best thing thing since sliced bread. He uses him too much. Yeah he has done good, but we all knew he would blow up one of these days. Why not bring the closer in, we are the home team, and the way the Marlins play in these types of games, there probably wouldn't have been a 10th, because we would have already had a walk-off hit.
August 4, 200818 yr My best guess It wasn't a save situation, plus the fact and some others have pointed this out Gregg didn't do to well when it came to getting rockies hitters out a month ago.

It was a home game, and the game was tied in the 9th; that's the closers' role there b/c regardless of what happens there will be no "save situation." It's either the game goes on, or a walkoff occurs. Also, since that Rockies series, Gregg has pitched very well (including last night). That Rockies series was also in Colorado...where every pitcher was getting tattooed.
