Worst relief appearance ever!?

D. Schlereth 1.1 3 11 11 12 2 0 85 12.09

12 walks ... including 6 with the bases loaded?!??!!

Holy Neftali Feliz!! I've had some walk-masters on my teams, but have never seen anything quite like this. I guess HAL was saving Dotel for a special situation.

My question is: Once the game was that far out of hand, why not let Schlereth finish taking a whupin and call it good instead of using another pitcher?

Sometimes I think HAL gets paid by how many moves he makes, no matter how stupid.

Impressive ... thanks for the link.

Game time: 3 hours, 41 minutes. Real treat for the home crowd.

I was surprised to see people are still playing the 2011 set. How much longer will leagues play the 2012 set? I was already looking forward to 2013 and figuring 2012 was about done.

roughed up quite a few there

Wow, 29 runs on only four HRs! Done off quite good pitching, too. The Brooklyn Bums sure lived up to their name in that one

Not 12 walks, but 11 hits--almost as bad. I did get one more out
