Right now our bullpen is awfull. Even the so called reliable relievers are not very good right now. The team needs to take at least two out of three from thw White Sox.and hold there own against the Cubs.

McCullough is the DUMBEST Marlins manager ever, and I have seen them all. That we dumped Skip Schumacher for this Clueless Clown is mind blowing. The worst part is that unlike Skip, McMoron never takes responsibility for his bad moves. Skip would say "yeah, that was on me" when asked about some bad decision; McCullough will tell you that he WILL DO IT AGAIN because he goes BY THE BOOK. I understand the 3 times through the batting order thing. But you always have to look at the situation. Anyone who ever played the game knows what the Dodgers were thinking when he took Bellozo out; "THANK GOD, that guy was killing us!" It's not like he was going to replace Bellozo with Mariano Rivera; this bullpen has been atrocious against the Dodgers. This was pure stupidity, and in his post game press conference he justified it and told us that he WILL DO THIS AGAIN & AGAIN.

This clown has done dumb things all year long and is telling us that he will continue doing them because that's what it says in the book. Refusing to play the infield at double play depth with runners on the corners, less than two out. His infatuation with Wagaman (why is he batting THIRD? Third is where your team's BEST HITTER bats!) & Pauley, to the detriment of other more deserving players. Using Dane Myers as PART TIME player. Using Bender in the 8th or 9th inning. I could go on and on, but what's the point? This guy really is AS DUMB and CLUELESS as HE LOOKS.
