Between Pierre and Thornton, we have two players who look mentally defeated out there.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 03:50 AM) Adam Dunn gets his gloves and his bat. Then watches Ozzie allow the guy wno f***ed up try to right himself. Way to do what's best for the team. I still can't believe he let Morel face Ross again. He definitely got his ass handed to him tonight by Geren, as warming up Breslow kept Dunn out of the game.

Worst thing about bullpen collapse is that all the stupid dumbasses who thought we should have brought back Jenks think they're right.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 03:47 AM) He has to. Even if Dunn were to PH and homer, he has zero OFs. Teahen to OF, Dunn to 1B.

This has been a frustrating season so far. Funny that we go all in everywhere but our bullpen, and it's killing us.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 03:45 AM) How, again, is Thornton not a closer? His D has screwed him for the second time. His stuff didn't vaporize overnight. People seem to forget his bad end to the season due to medical issues. His stuff is not good right now, as his fastball is 2 mph short.

Yep, he's letting Pierre bat. Comical Ozzie

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 03:43 AM) Games like this are not gonna help jump start the already crappy attendance It's a very agitated fan base right now due to the bullpen. Dunn's injury has also killed a lot of the excitement over him.

SWING THE BAT! He better not let Pierre bat instead of Dunn.

4 of our next 6 games are against Cahill, Anderson, Weaver, and Haren. Need this win!

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 03:38 AM) This team has had the lead in every game and is looking like it'll be 6-4. What have there been, 3 9th inning collapses already? One was in the 8th inning.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 03:37 AM) How come every year this roster gets tight ass when there's even the slightest sense of urgency or adversity? Games against the twins last year, now just a f***ing save situation or close 9th inning game. It's bulls*** Well for one, we tried to force a career set-up man into a closer. Not many experts actually thought it would work. At least we're wasting Sale in the pen.

Keep calling for pitches other than his curve Ramon. This bullpen has terrible mojo right now.

Ugh, what a terrible f***ing pitch. Looking at 3 games we've lost that are inexcusable this year.

QUOTE (peanut33tillman @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 03:30 AM) Couldnt disagree more Morel brought in a .290 avg (of course in a sample size of ABs) but he's hit the ball hard for the most part all season. Batting 9th and getting a ton of fastballs.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 03:28 AM) What is his choice there? If he uses Dunn, they give him the intentional pass. After seeing how Morel looked last time, I would have gone with Omar.

Morel has no chance against this guy. Really uninspiring managing by Ozzie. Why can't our prospects ever hit a slider?

Use AJP here, and then let Dunn bat if they walk AJP.

If we're going to have LF that can't catch or draw walks, I'd rather see Viciedo.

Oh to see the CQ bat flip here

Terrible called 3rd

Glad it worked out, but pitching to a hot swinging Willingham over Ellis was about as bad as bringing in Thornton.

Great job Crain. GET PIERRE OFF THE f***ING FIELD! Is he a member of the USD basketball team?

Matt Thornton has got to be mentally done with as a closer. It's a shame, but now you just hope he can salvage his season as a set-up man.

Also, what's with the lack of hustle by Pierre to get the ball back into the infield? Always hustling my ass.
