During his first two years with the Dodgers, Beimel became known for his ability to get Barry Bonds out. Beimel held Bonds to 1–16 at the plate, with the one hit being a solo home run. He also walked Bonds only three times. After the arrival of new manager Joe Torre, Beimel was forced to cut his hair, a situation similar to one Stump Merrill had with Torre's successor as Dodger manager, Don Mattingly, when Merrill managed Mattingly with the New York Yankees. Relationship with fans Joe gained a cult following in 2008 in a series of fan-made YouTube videos. When the Dodgers conducted their second annual online fan vote during Spring Training to determine what player should be immortalized as part of the team's bobblehead promotions, Beimel took home the honors for 2008 after a strong Internet turnout, including a campaign that was orchestrated by his parents, Ron and Marge Beimel. Washington Nationals On March 18, 2009, Beimel and the Washington Nationals agreed to a one-year $2 million deal; he became their eighth-inning set up man. Colorado Rockies On July 31, 2009, Beimel was traded by the Nationals to the Colorado Rockies for Ryan Mattheus and Robinson Fabian. He signed a minor league contract on March 22, 2010, and was brought up to the majors on April 15. His entrance song was "God's Gonna Cut You Down" by Johnny Cash. Return to Pittsburgh On January 27, 2011, the Pittsburgh Pirates signed Beimel to a minor league contract. He began the season on the disabled list due to soreness in his forearm and elbow, which he initially experienced during spring training. He spent the first weeks of season on rehab assignments with the Advance-A Bradenton Marauders and Triple-A Indianapolis Indians. The Pirates activated Beimel from the disabled list on April 15, 2011. On May 28, 2011, Beimel was placed on the 15-day disabled list, due to the same injury which had put him on the shelf to begin the season. Daniel Moskos was recalled to take his place. He was designated for assignment on August 23, and released a week later. Texas Rangers On February 6, 2012, Beimel signed a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers. He was released on March 26.
