If he hasn't pitched in a week, can you really expect him to be sharp?

Inconsistent work is part of every reliever's job description, is it not?

 

By the way, the 3rd base ump just blew that call.

Edit: Maybe not. Close.

[DHonks]

who is saying Jorge won't be a stud? The guy looked amazing in his first outing or two of the season. He just needs to remember how to throw strikes.

[batman]

The simple fact is that Jorge isn't doing his job.

 

You're right, Jorge didn't come in after a week off and retire J.D. Drew and Jeff Kent.

 

What a loser.

If I was Jorge, I'd be frustrated and confused.

 

Heck, even if I weren't Jorge (which I'm not), I'd *still* be confused. It's really not that hard to manage a bullpen better than this. Really. It's not. That's why we constantly talk about how it should be done.

[bsglorydays]

Nice job Matt Wise.

Score a run!

[ja002h]

Hey, did you know this Wise guy had such a low ERA?

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Hey, this Matt Wise guy is pretty good. Good thing some reporter decided to let Yost in on that news flash a few days ago.

[molitor fan]

Unsung play of that inning was Jenks hustling in to stop the runner from going to third on that single....that inning looks a whole lot different if the runner advances to third.

[brettac1]

The simple fact is that Jorge isn't doing his job.

 

What exactly is his job? He gets jerked around so much in the pen that it's ridiculous.

[brewmann04]

i agree he was safe but wise did an excellent job.

 

now it the 3,4,5,guys to show they are worth it

[UWRyan428]

This Matt Wise guy isn't bad... :-) I remember when he was getting lip service as the heir apparent for the closer position. I loved the idea but always thought a closer needed that heater for the K. Well...Wise is definitely the exception. He makes people look silly, especially un-WERTH-y people who cannot pick up the changeup. I loved Werth last year in the postseason, but don't see the same person this year. Too bad. I would have loved to see him don a Brew uni.

[shelmark]

Actually the replay showed he was out..he took too long in his slide...foot was not on the base..

 

Not sure if this was mentioned...Weeks 3-4 tonight...HR...number 12....now batting...333. How bad can his defense be?

[bsglorydays]

It's really not that hard to manage a bullpen better than this. Really. It's not. That's why we constantly talk about how it should be done.

And we are somehow qualified? We can talk about it all we want, but the fact is, none of us know all the details of every decision that gets made. Its still fun to speculate and have our opinions. But, the bottom line is, Yost and Maddux are a bit more qualified to make those decisions.

Countdown to Jenkins strikeout....5, 4, 3, 2....

[molitor fan]

good grief, that Gagne change was sick!!!

[ja002h]

Weeks has GOT to be up as soon as they're sure he isn't Super 2. Doug must be thinking this.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

I'm pretty sure he was safe. They only had bad camera angles where you couldn't see Drew's foot, but you could see the bag buckle before the throw got there.

[UWRyan428]

Speaking of good changeups... Why didn't Gagne pursue a hockey career!!!

[dogs with bees in their mo]

At least Jenkins made it past 3 pitches that time. I think we're making some real progress here.

[ja002h]

Yost and Maddux are a bit more qualified to make those decisions.

 

You'd THINK so, wouldn't you?

[badgerfan.tgf]

Oh for a basehit now!

[UWRyan428]

Lee...bailing out Jenkins since 2 weeks into the season. :-)

[bsglorydays]

What a STUPID play in RF! Puts the runner in scoring position. Make it hurt!

[molitor fan]

8 and 2/3 innings pitched for Gagne....17 k's.....

 

Man....I wish Carlos could have gotten to third on that

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Wow, you really shouldn't dive for that ball Repko. Thanks, buddy.
