With Z and Marmol pretty much unavailable, Marshall was the closer. With Russell already used, Grabow was the only other lefty for Howard/Utley/Rollins/Ibanez, or it could have been Stevens or Berg. As awful as he's been, Grabow was the guy to use.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Bringing him in was one thing, but he clearly didn't have it. He was 3-0 on seemingly every batter. He should have been yanked after 3 batters or so. That was my main complaint. We had no one warming up in the pen either.

And bring in who? Marshall was "unavailable" until the 9th, I believe Berg is the only other option. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have Grabow in there than Berg, especially against those lefties. Be pissed at Grabow for sucking, I certainly am. But I see nothing Lou could have done about it today.
