Hope it's just a rough patch, but the fire danger when the Rockies' relievers come into the game goes from moderate to high.

I realize there will be tougn times over the course of any 162 game season, but the talent in this bullpen is far too good to continue to sh*t the bed every time they try to hold leads they are given.

Mitch Williams

Eric Gagne

Brad Lidge

and a few more which I can't remember. Hopefully Brian can turn it around like Lidge has this year.

I think they actually have three guys with closer stuff.   Any of them could be excelent closers if they were able to show consistency---

Manny Corpas

Brian Fuentes

Taylor Bucholz

It's a little too early to scrap the bullpen plan that worked so well last September, but they went on a great run last year when Fuentes went to the eighth inning and Corpas became the closer.  Maybe another shakeup would do the trick if the status quo doesnt get better soon.

C'mon Rox !!!!

sorry for the spelling error.  

Taylor Buchholz

I don't care what it takes, but at the moment our bullpen is overworked.  They have not recovered from their 22 inning win and until they get a little rest, we can expect to see more of these blown leads late in the game.

Gumby is right in the fact that our bullpen has way too much talent to continue to perform the way that they are, but still they must get their rest if they are going to be able to regain their dominance.

We either need to have a starter go all 9 innings or bring up 1 or 2 pitchers to pitch out of the bullpen and provide some relief to the overworked bullpen.  All of us should know that the Rockies are capable of pulling out of this funk, so let's not lose our faith in Hurdle and the Rockies' players and let's continue to cheer our team on to victory.

GO ROCKIES!!!

Another call to the pen tonight.  More innings for Bucholtz, Corpas, and Fuentes.  At least there is a day off coming up. 

Last year when the Rox went through this, Hurdle swapped Corpas and Fuentes.  Maybe time to swap them back.
