Get to the bullpen!
Also, today would be an awesome time to go home run happy- Volstad is extremely prone to home runs.

At the same time, it's not like the Marlins are totally broke
Hanley Ramirez is a franchise player. You don’t let him go unless he is insistent about leaving, or if you’re 3/4 years out of contention and you can get a massive package of prospects

Lemme toss something out here
If Cook gets lit up, and it turns out his toe is absolutely fine, what if we throw Cook on like 3 days rest? Sinkerballers throw better with a dead arm.

Disappointing effort from Cook today
Let’s hope this awful pitching doesn’t continue through the whole trip. Figures that after everyone has been touting our quality-start numbers that we run out two straight bad efforts.
There could be a rust-factor as well
Generally, an extra day of rest is ok, but 9’s a bit much.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
whatever his excuse
its on him and the pitching staff to make sure he’s ready to go. Either that wasn’t done, or he was fine and just choked today. In either case, can’t have too many of these…
Or, he had a bad game.
I don’t see why there needs to be a moral failure behind every bad performance.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
Which
I acknowledged in my post, almost exactly as you do, so I’m not sure what you are saying. In any event, I’m not asserting the certainty of moral failure here, just raising the possibility that it might not have been a good decision to put him on the hill today. Whether that is true is, to me, an important question.
Here's how I read it:
whatever his excuse, its on him and the pitching staff to make sure he’s ready to go. Either that wasn’t done, or he was fine and just choked today
Sure looks like you’re saying “either someone dropped the ball” or he choked.

All I have to say…..Dodgers #1 on my hate list ( but who doesn’t hate them)
Atlanta and Florida are #2 and #3 on my list especially when playing at their place. Rockies just can’t seem to get over the 500% humidity down there and the opposing
pitchers who get great ball movement in those nasty sweat box pitchers stadiums. Going up to Black Hawk, maybe catch game 2 up there. Let’s hope for 3-3 or 4-2 road
trip….although Nationals playing well right now as well.
just think back
to that 570 foot bomb that the Big Cat hit in Miami all those years ago. I still remember that shot, biggest HR I’ve ever seen. One good memory from that stadium, anyway.

Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
A lazy fly ball into center
that Dex lost in the sun. He threw it back into the infield and no one could seem to get their hands on it. Runners moved up a base and scored on the next play.

Cook
When is the last time Cook ever won a meaningful game?
3 starts ago
he earned the win against the Giants:

and 2 starts ago he didn’t earn the win but the team won against the Reds:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN200907310.shtml
He’s had 2 bad starts against very good offensive teams while having soreness in his toe. I wouldn’t worry about Cookie.

I've seen Cook get shelled
in several games starting with his July 4 game. It seems that he’s been struggling to keep the ball down, allowing other teams to hit the ball hard against him.
There's a difference between
being hit and being “shelled”, I think. Like in that Giants game – he gave up 9 hits, but only 2 runs crossed the plate and he didn’t walk a batter. He’s been leaving the ball up more lately, I agree, but I wouldn’t say that he’s spent the last month getting “shelled”.

shelled seems more like when a guy goes on tilt early in the game
and it just becomes a hit parade
sound about right?

I'd agree
though I’m less inclined to agree if there are so few runs that cross because of it.

I suppose I should disclaim that
I haven’t been following this game from the start, so I’m not sure if that was the case today (though I’ve seen it happen before). I was just trying to argue against “Cook hasn’t won a meaningful game in a while”.

Not really worried
But that doesn’t mean I’m pleased. He’s a worse 2nd half hitter and while his Augusts are historically sound, his Septembers aren’t very good at all.

He's bound to improve
July and Aug so far have been a bit rough; he’s a better hitter than that.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
Maybe his late-season slump came early
I figure we have nothing to worry about, because worst case, he’s as bad as I’d expect him to be.

has been awful since we got him…
we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE
"TuLoRocks2008 had the most comments I've seen in any game thread this year (322)...Can such a feat be eclipsed?" ..... Bring it on!!
I disagree
FIP indicates he’s been just about as good as he was in Washington (4.07 FIP in WAS, 4.03 in COL)
tRA…in its various forms….also says he’s performed better in Colorado.
I think we just see him in too many lousy games and it causes a bad case of selective memory.

this is the problem with SABR people and non-SABR people.
SABR people present more detailed evidence that takes more into account than the traditional statistics, and then the non-SABR people pretty much cover their ears and refuse to listen to anything more.
If you want to say you do not enjoy Beimel pitching, I guess you can do that, but to just say that you don’t care what the advanced numbers say, well, it reflects poorly on.

define "good"
He is pitching at the level we’d expect out of him.
He’s below his career FIP, and far above his career K/BB. I call that “good” relative to Joe Beimel.
He stunk out loud today, so when Fangraphs updates, we’ll get another look.

well, Beimel pitches to LHB
LHB pull baseballs
a pulled baseball by a LHB means it’s going to RF
Brad Hawpe is a garbage RF
I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to think that Helton misses balls off the bat, as he’s older and isn’t as spry as he once was, and Hawpe’s never been good, therefore the right side is not helping him out too much.

Another way of looking at that...
…is that Beimel isn’t so much bad now as he’s been bad all year…if he can’t improve, he’ll turn into one of the less-good trades of all time…
uh....
what?
Beimel’s never been BAD, he’s just not that good, period, and now that people are seeing he’s a pretty mediocre pitcher, they’re all a-ruffled because he’s not some lockdown closer

mediocre might be overstating it
if only because people mean many things by that word…but right, he’s not at that “very above avg” level, or “8-inning setup guy” level..
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
yeah, exactly
I mean he’s a good LHB guy, and can usually hold down the 7th inning. I think we overstated what the benefit from his acquisition would be
