Howard had a K in a big situation, not to mention a double-play and an error. I couldn’t give the Jeltzie to Happ, at risk of further shattering his confidence…

Not to mention his horrendous fielding. And Howard gets the Jeltz because his hit was meaningless as was his walk and his other at bats, I mean strike outs, were ugly as hell.

They are forcing him to use happ as a reliever because of their insane search for a left-handed reliever. thye auditioned happ and walrond last night, IN AUGUST, IN THE MIDDLE OF A DIVISIONAL GAME, and mike arbuckle was on there this morning talking about how theyre still looking for one. this is madness with gillick. theyre actually losing it. they have one right in front of their faces and they cant see it. romero was primarily the loogy last year and he was awesome in that role. you need a SETUPMAN, which is what theyve always needed since gordon sputtered. its so simple and they cant grasp it. its unbelievable. first it was the starting pitching, now its this. its like the eagles with the wide recievers. mental midgetry at its finest.
