Analysis: Manager Ozzie Guillen says Bell has pitched well enough in a reduced role to warrant another shot at the ninth inning. The three-time All-Star signed a $27 million, three-year contract with Miami last December but had struggled so badly in his first season with Miami that he was replaced as the team's closer. |

Bell entered in the ninth with a three-run lead but drew boos when he gave up three hits. Manager Ozzie Guillen yanked him with one out, runners at second and third and the Marlins clinging to a 7-5 lead. Analysis: "I had a gut feeling he's not throwing well,'' Guillen said. "He gets paid to close games, I get paid to win games. It's a very hard, uncomfortable move. Your closer is your closer, but from the beginning I didn't feel comfortable with it. I needed a different look. But he's going to be back there as my closer tomorrow.'' |

Analysis: Bell never recorded an out after facing three batters with a two-run lead in the ninth inning. The All-Star closer has been anything but sharp for the rebranded Marlins. ``Didn't have it tonight,'' Bell said. ``Ozzie (Guillen) made a good decision and it worked out for us." |

Analysis: Bell recorded his third save in six chances and first since walking a career-high four batters and taking his third loss Thursday in a 3-2 road loss to the Mets. "Plain and simple, it shows the confidence that Ozzie (Guillen) and the coaching staff have that it will turn around for me,'' Bell said. ``I think that's why they put me out there.'' |

Analysis: Yet, as Guillen says he will do at every position on his underachieving club, he will consider a change soon if Bell doesn't get back on track. The burly right-hander is 0-3 with a 10.80 ERA with two saves in eight appearances spanning 6 2-3 innings. He was tagged for two runs in a non-save situation in the ninth inning of Miami's 9-5 home loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday. |

I didn't make a pitch when I needed to make a pitch.'' |
