Major disappointment. They're running out of time to unravel everything. They've bullcrap around for so long that their last couple of episodes will have to be good by default.

And what's wrong with that?

Part of me thinks he wants to give the guys in a pen a chance to come in when we're up by 5. The team is so used to winning 1 run games, this is a rarity.

If you trust this bullpen, it won't be five for long!

I'd trust Olsen more than Walker, here.

Me too, but I'd rather the Mets score a few runs on Walker than Olsen

How is it over-managing he looked way too hittable

With a 5 run lead I think we could've gotten 3 or 4 more outs out of him.

I think Walker's being auditioned for the alt/Clippard role.

I actually liked the last 4 or 5 episodes. The beginning of this season sucked, IMO.

Because it's been 5 seasons since season 1 (which was really good) and most of the crap in between sucked. They have milked a show that was probably good for 3 seasons into 6. Most of it has been boring.

He's still better than Walker.

Olsen got any quality start escalators in his contract by chance?

With how bad he was looking we would have been down quickly

No way. Season 2 and the first half of Season 3 sucked... but after that, the show has been amazing.

I'm using Olsen on my fantasy team.  I need the win!

The last episode sucked. The two before that one were OK. The ones about Richard and Desmond were really good though.

Maybe not, but we can't rely on Capps and Clippard forever. It's time for the pen to step up. They aren't being overworked at all, they actually need the work.

Wow. I'm surprised Zimmerman let Desmond call him off.

Once again, no.

If you haven't liked the last season, you probably shouldn't watch the show. Amazing storytelling this year.

Manny would have left him in. I would rather pull a pitcher too early than too late

That wouldn't shock me. They have cheated their audience by the way they strung the storyline along. It smacks of desperate and weak writing.

Amazing storytelling this year.
