1 run with three hits yesterday. Set to pitch again today to get him some back to back work. Curious to see if he survives it.

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

Predictions on when he loses the closer job?

June 15th for me.

What happens first.....Julio loses his job or Tom Gordon's arm falls off?

I'm going with De Aza getting demoted.

That could be another thread....how many CFs will the Marlins use this year?

OU is 4 and a half...same as the number of closers they'll use.

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

There's one blown save in the books.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

.33 innings. 3 runs, 5 hits, and a walk.

 

[The Duff Man]

Anyone worth grabbing in their pen in anticipation of his demotion?

I'm betting on Henry Owens.

 

[JZilla]

Aiiiish

Can't even shut the door on Belliard and Fick. by Casto and Meathook.

My optimism was a bit premature

 

[ooofffaaa]

I would assume that Julio will have a long leash since they really have no one else to close with any experience.

 

[General Malaise]

Rot in hell, Julio.

But not before you pay me back that 37.50 you cost me. facking ##### rag.

Jorge Julio will never have a long leash the rest of his career.Another outing like this, and Owens, Gregg or Linstrom get their shot.What good does it do to give a long leash to a guy who keeps failing at the job he was acquired to do?

81 ERA and an 18 WHIP. That's gonna take a while to dissipate.

Glad I only told other people to pick him up

 

[The Houston Stallions]

I like Taylor Tankersley to get a few saves when he comes back from the DL. He's certainly got the arm for it. His K/9 has been money while in the minors.

Owens might be the best bet in the short term.

 

[buccosfan]

They gave up a pretty good pitcher to get him. I'm not sure he's going to lose the job too quickly. It's one game. Let's see how's he's pitching in 2 weeks.

 

[Eephus]

Nothing does 0-60 and back to zero again like a marginal closer's bandwagon.

 

[Bobcat10]

He's just 0/1.

I tend to agree with this. A good comparison is Armando Benitez, who's been all over the map (literally and figuratively) during his career. Hell, they've followed almost the same path. Julio has shown he can be effective in the role, unfortunately, it's been about 5 years since that's happened. He actually wasn't terrible filling in for Valverde last year, just very inconsistent.I think FLA will give him a couple weeks. Obviously they weren't impressed with what they saw from Owens, Lindstrom, Gregg, et al during ST, or they wouldn't have gone after JJ.As to whether or not he'll be effective, we can hope for an Armando-like recovery at best, I suppose. I wouldn't drop him just yet.

That is my point, just backing you up GB

Henry Owens just entered the game in the top of the 9th against Milwaukee with the Marlins up 5-3.

However, it was planned that Julio would get the night off. Not a bad first save opp for Owens. It won't be long and he takes over full-time.

 

[Jethro Q. Walrustitty]

Still the closer

 

[Fear & Loathing]

And here comes Jorge Julio to protect a 2-1 lead in the 9th.

Brewers have to be feeling good about their chances here...

Edit to add: a walk to Weeks to leadoff the inning

 

[Capella]

he sucks so bad he should be pitching for tampa

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

There's another blown save.

 

[Fear & Loathing]

Hardy ground-rule double to center, Weeks scored.

We've got a tie ballgame folks.

Jorge "Lights Out" Julio.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

That's just awful.

 

[pigskin pimp]

I'm betting on Henry Owens.

 

[pigskin pimp]

What happens first.....Julio loses his job or Tom Gordon's arm falls off?

I'm going with De Aza getting demoted.

Any one taking bets on this?Julio is done before April is over.

Even Brad Lidge was able to save a game at least every third try. Wow.Wow.

 

[Angry Beavers]

SO happy I rushed to pick this stiff up!

but then I waived him on Sunday and got Owens

 

[Bobcat10]

<_<

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Jorge Julio (calf strain) gave up three unearned runs on six hits during a three inning rehab start with Single-A Jupiter on Sunday.
